Gynaecomastia is a condirion where excess breast tissue is evident in males. It can be very distressing to men and often causes problems in personal relationships. For example, many men reuse to take their top off at the beach because they are feaful of what people might think. For those with excess male breats tissue it is a cosmetic problem but the problem augments to many other aspects of their lives, notably emotionally. It can be treated very successfully with surgery, and the procedure is usually performed by a Plastic Surgeon.
