Male Breast Reduction San Francisco
The term gynecomastia originates from the Greek word for “women-like breasts.”
Gynecomastia is performed by eliminating fatty or glandular tissue from the chest, which improves the shape and makes it look more firm. Some patients may also elect to have a tummy tuck or liposuction to improve the results.
