Gynecomastia

Gynecomastia is development of breast tissue in Men.

Gynecomastia in young male is analogous to a breast deformity in the teenage female. Occurrence of an abnormality in a secondary sex characteristic at this critical emotional period in life, when the self-image plays a major role, may produce significant psychological problem if not corrected. This results in low feeling in them particularly when they go to gym or swimming pool. Correction of gynecomastia restores a lot of confidence in them. Gynecomastia is mainly bilateral but sometimes it can be unilateral.

1. A soft, diffuse mass with no palpable glandular disc is fat and will respond to liposuction

2. A firm, discrete mass in a thin adolescent boy is composed of pure glandular material. It cannot be removed by liposuction and should be excised through an areola incision.

3. If on examination the breast mass suggests mixed glandular and fatty components, It should be treated with liposuction followed by direct excision.

Operation is mainly done as an o.p.d. procedure.
