Indications for Men (Gynaecomastia)

Gynaecomastia is an excessive enlargement of the male breast. For some teenage boys and adult men, it can be a normal occurrence at a certain stage of life.

Gynaecomastia may be improved by non-surgical treatments (such as changing a medication) or medically treating the cause of the abnormal hormone levels that create the problem in the first place.

For some men, surgery to remove the excess breast tissue may be the best treatment.

Surgery for Gynaecomastia is most successful when performed on healthy, well-balanced men of any age.

Why would I choose to have this surgical treatment?

• Failed medical treatment; this can occur if the Gynaecomastia has been present for a long time, and the breast tissue has been replaced by fibrous tissue that does not respond to hormone treatment
• Some men with Gynaecomastia who may feel self-conscious about the appearance of their breasts
• There may be discomfort as breast tissue can be tender and sore
• Suspected malignancy.
