What is gynecomastia?

Gynecomastia is simply enlarged breast tissue in men. Many different factors can lead to this condition occurring, though fluctuations in hormone levels - particularly during puberty and midlife - are typically the source. Lifestyle or medical factors can also play a part. Male breast reduction is a common and highly successful procedure for surgically removing the excess breast tissue.

For over 12 years, Dr. Livingston has been developing and refining processes to help men improve their quality of life through gynecomastia correction surgery.
