General remarks
regarding gynaecomastia
Gynaecomastia is a widespread male disorder, consisting of the development of breasts (gland and fat). It is often caused by an imbalance in sexual hormones. It is responsible for a number of significant psychological and social issues. More frequent in childhood, it can also occur in adults and the elderly, in this case often as a result of medication. The plastic surgeon intervenes to solve the issue with liposuction: when gynaecomastia is caused by excess glandular tissue, it may be necessary to combine liposuction with the surgical removal of the gland and excess skin.
