So what is gynaecomastia?  Gynaecomastia, or colloquially known as "male breasts" is not just the appearance of prominent breast tissue on the male chest but also important psychological components associated with it.  Some men may go through years of looking into the intricacies of gynaecomastia.  If you resonate with this, do read on...

Understanding gynaecomastia is important since there are specific medical issues that need to be excluded. Some patients may have Poland syndrome or even Klinefelter syndrome.   Therefore, a thorough assessment is required in line with the guidelines set in place by the Medical Board of Australia to keep patients safe especially if you are considering cosmetic surgery for gynaecomastia.  There are risks with any surgery and this will be covered in detail at your consultation with Dr Nara.  To learn more about the risks of surgery please click here.
