Enlarged male breasts or chest area, clinically known as gynecomastia, is a very common condition that nearly 60% of all men experience throughout their lives. It usually appears during puberty as a result of hormonal imbalances and disappears by the age of 20. It can be unilateral or bilateral. The condition can also be induced by some medications or a side effect of certain diseases. In some cases, gynecomastia does not resolve on its own and surgical correction is often needed to address the problem and restore the masculine profile.

From Dr. Barrett: “This procedure really hits home for me because as a youth I experienced gynecomastia. I definitely understand the impact this can have on a man’s self esteem and body image. Men aren’t supposed to have enlarged breasts! It takes a lot for men to even seek out help for this condition because they may feel uncomfortable or embarrassed. It’s important for men experiencing gynecomastia to know its a common condition and that there is a solution. The solution depends on each individual patient. I like to avoid scars on a man’s chest when possible because of its high visibility. Oftentimes liposuction is all that is needed but if an excision of tissue is required, this can be done with a very small incision.”
