Can you help me with my gynecomastia?

Gynecomastia: Is overgrowth of breast tissue in males and can result from medication, marijuana, or liver failure. In most cases, cause is unknown. If condition is severe enough and does not respond to medical treatment, you will need surgery. Sometimes, liposuction can help, but usually a surgical removal (subcutatneous mastectomy) is required. Consult with a surgeon.

Seek Consultation: Best to seek consultation with board-certified plastic surgeons. Examination will be important to make diagnosis. I have found that gynecomastia is often best treated with  partial excision of the prominent glandular tissue  as well as liposuction surgery of the peripheral chest area.  if the prominence of the chest wall is caused by adipose tissue, then liposuction surgery alone may suffice.
