WHAT IS MAN BOOB CORRECTION SURGERY?

Gynaecomastia or Male Boobs is abnormal enlargement of the male breast gland leading to a feminine appearance. It is a common problem which presents at puberty or may be seen with use of certain medications. It is important to rule out underlying hormonal problems and correct them to prevent recurrence.

Gynaecomastia can be emotionally distressing for men due to social ridicule, embarrassment and a negative body image. Often a cause of depression and lack of confidence, men tend to slouch to hide the feminine looking breasts leading to a poor posture and further loss of self esteem.

This condition is caused due to fat deposits or sometimes due to enlargement of the gland. Liposuction to contour and shape the chest along with removal of the breast gland through a small incision, can easily fix this problem, tremendously boosting the confidence of the patient.
