Excess male breast development is called gynecomastia. This condition may occur in men due to a variety of causes including weight gain or loss, use of certain drugs like hormones or steroids, fatty tumors, genetic predisposition or hormonal imbalances. In many cases, no cause is found.
In cases where there is one sided enlargement, medical testing may be necessary prior to consideration of surgical treatment. If a mass is found, this must be addressed and may require testing, imaging and biopsy (pathological evaluation).
Treatment of gynecomastia involves stopping the use of the causative agent if possible, control of weight and may include either conventional or laser assisted liposuction-liposculpture alone or direct excision supplemented with liposuction-liposculpture. Often scars are hidden in the breast folds and around the areola (darker skin around the nipple).
The choice of techniques is individually determined and depends on the size of the breast tissue, the assessment of the amount of fat versus actual breast tissue and the amount of breast droop.
