GYNECOMASTIA (Male Bust)
Gynecomastia is a common condition in males where the bust grows larger than normal. This condition may affect one or both breasts, sometimes unevenly. It can cause puffiness, or the feeling of a lump under the nipple. Gynecomastia can lead to discomfort and emotional concerns. It can occur at different ages, due to certain medical conditions, or lifestyle factors.

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon,
Gynaecomastia is basically enlarged bust in men. It is actually quite common and can be treated effectively with surgery.
All men have some bust tissue. A few, unfortunately, have an excessive amount. Infact, in some cases male bust can be equivalent to a woman’s size. Occasionally this is due to a hormone imbalance, however, in most instances there is no detectable abnormality either on blood tests or clinical examination. Regardless of the cause, this condition causes men a great deal of embarrassment. Many report they forego swimming and playing to avoid taking their shirts off. Older boys may even skip classes rather than subject themselves to physical education classes if they are required to shower afterwards. No amount of exercise or diet will solve the problem. However by surgically removing the excess tissue, we can permanently restore a normal appearance.
The recovery procedure is quite tolerable. After surgery, gynecomastia patients are given a compression garment to wear to reduce the swelling and also to help in tissue healing. Most patients can return to their normal routines including work in a day or two after the surgery.
