Gynaecomastia   Overview Male breast development is quite a common condition.It often first becomes apparent in puberty and can be associated with significant weight gain. It can be associated with certain medications or steroid usage. However in many cases there is no cause found for the condition. The treatment of Gynaecomastia often involves liposuction of the breast area and direct excision of the central breast tissue via a small incision around the nipple. It is performed as day case surgery under a general anaesthetic and the recovery period is in the order of 1-2 weeks.
