Gynecomastia: Gynecomastia, or enlargement of the male breast gland, can be due to hormone, imabalances, medications, age, or genetics. It is a medically treatable condition - see a board-certified plastic surgeon for the different options. These can include liposuction, direct excision of the glandular tissue, and even excision of skin in severe cases.

Gynecomastia: Enlargement of the male breast may have multiple causes but the confusion between glandular enlargement or unusual fat deposition must be made before therapy is undertaken. 1% of breast cancer occurs in males.
