Gynecomastia New Zealand

 Adolescent males and men of all ages can experience excessive growth of breast tissue which can cause embarrassment and social isolation. Mr Adams performs a thorough history, examination and investigations to ensure that the cause of your breast growth is understood. Once this is understood the options for improvement of this condition are discussed. Common techniques used include liposuction, surgical excision of glandular and fatty tissue, and when needed, excision of excessive skin and/or nipple reduction and re-positioning. Sometimes staged surgery is needed to get the best result. Undertaking surgery to improve body image and confidence can be psychologically challenging and patients need to be well prepared. 

Not all breasts and nipples develop in the same way. Short milk ducts can cause pulled in or "inverted" nipples. Larger nipples may be prominent and problematicREAD MORE Changes in the height (projection) and width (diameter) of nipples is possible using plastic surgery techniques. In most cases these can be corrected under a local anaesthetic. Inverted nipples can be treated in a variety of ways depending on whether you have plans for future breast feeding. Complications of nipple surgery include infection, scars, failure of correction or incomplete correction; and division of milk ducts which can prevent effective lactation (breast feeding).
