Inspection!: A female appearing chest is the obvious sign of gynecomastia. It may manifest as pain with or without a visible or palpable mass under the nipple. (palpable means that you can feel it with your fingers or hand.).

Consultation: We recommend having a consultation with a surgeon who can determine if gynecomastia or liposuction are needed.

Examination: Gynecomastia comes from the greek meaning "gyne" meaning woman and  "mastos"  meaning breasts, diagnosed by physical examination. It refers to abnormal development of large mammary glands in males. Although there may be many “causes”, most cases are idiopathic (no specific cause). The use of certain medications, drugs, organ dysfunction (kidney or liver), hormonal imbalances may also be causative.
