Male gynecomastia surgery can remove excess tissue to contour the breasts with minimal scarring.

What is Male Gynecomastia?

Male gynecomastia is the result of a hormonal imbalance of decreased testosterone levels in relation to estrogen levels. This imbalance can be caused by natural hormone changes from aging or certain health conditions. Other factors include anabolic steroids, medications and cancer treatments. If the condition doesn’t resolve itself on its own or with certain medical treatments, surgery may be required.
