Gynecomastia is the enlargement of the breasts in men. It can be unilateral or bilateral. It can cause psychological and social problems in patients. It usually appears during puberty and is permanent. The cause is often unknown. However, certain diseases and medications can cause gynecomastia. Gynecomastia may be characterized by enlargement of the breast gland tissue or the fatty tissue in the breast. If there is only excess fatty tissue, it can be treated with liposuction alone. However, if there is also excess breast gland tissue, additional interventions may be necessary. The need for such procedures may increase, especially in cases where there is excess skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
