Gynecomastia, or overdeveloped breasts in men, is actually a very common condition. In most cases it will be outgrown, but in the remaining cases it can turn into a sensitive subject and cause of unseemly teasing and insecurities. Gynecomastia may present in a number of ways, in one or both male breasts, and ranges in varying degrees of severity. The only real treatment for overdeveloped breasts in men is a Breast Reduction Procedure. During the Breast Reduction Procedure a small incision will be made, usually around the areola, and the excess grandular tissue and skin will be removed. In certain cases liposuction may also be used to remove excess fat in the breasts. The results are a flatter, more masculine looking chest.
