Gynecomastia, an excess of male breast tissue in the chest, is a condition that can affect males of all ages. Babies may experience this issue, as can kids, teenagers, adults, and the elderly. It causes shame and body issues, but with the aid of male breast reduction, the excess tissue can be removed in order to provide a more masculine chest.
For younger patients, it is most likely that the excess male breast tissue is a result of hormone fluctuations. Older patients often experience gynecomastia as a result of disease treatment, recreational drugs, obesity, and certain diseases.
