Excess male breast tissue (gynecomastia) can be a significant problem for some people. Both old and young males can be bothered by their chest appearance and some even avoid public pools or going to the beach. The cause of excess tissue is usually unknown but is sometimes related to certain medicines or even marijuana use.
Surgical treatment is usually accomplished with ultrasonic liposuction and sometimes with direct excision of the tissue.
Postoperative discomfort is usually minimal and a compression wrap is required for a few days. The results are usually dramatic and a new self esteem and confidence can be acquired.
