Dr Mark Kohout tackles “manboobs” or gynaecomastia, as it is sometimes known. This common condition in men is easily correctable with a day surgery procedure. Dr Kohout tells you how it is done, in this Cosmetic Surgery article
Gynaecomastia is best defined as the enlargement of male breasts beyond what is considered socially aesthetic. “Gynaecomastia is unfortunately becoming more common as our lifestyles become more sedentary and our social lives revolve around eating and drinking, sometimes excessively. It seems that men are generally getting heavier,” Sydney plastic surgeon Dr Mark Kohout explains. “On the other hand, it is fortunately becoming more acceptable for men to have cosmetic surgery in the form of liposuction to improve and correct this condition. There is less stigma attached and consequently we are seeing more male patients seeking treatment of gynaecomastia.”
