Many men have gynecomastia- enlarged female-like breasts, caused by excess glandular tissue or fat (or both).

Glandular tissue must be removed, usually through a small incision near the edge of the areola.

Fatty tissue can be removed by liposuction. A small, hollow tube is inserted through a tiny incision, leaving a nearly imperceptible scar.

Following surgery for gynecomastia, the patient has a more masculine chest contour.
