Male Breast Reduction / Gynecomastia Surgeon in Vancouver
Gynecomastia is a common condition characterized by the development of breast tissue upon the male chest. It can range from mild with small deposits just behind the nipple, to severe involving the majority of the anterior chest wall resulting in a true male breast or ‘man-boob’.
Excessive enlargement of the male breast affects a great number of men at some point during their life. Often it occurs during puberty but by the early 20’s most cases have resolved by themselves. In some men however, despite a healthy weight and regular exercise, a stubborn area of tissue persists under the nipple and surrounding area creating a ‘man-boob.’ This may cause embarrassment and have an impact on the clothes and activity choices a man is happy to make. Gynecomastia surgery is an effective way of reducing the excess breast tissue.
