Gynecomastia Correction: Los Angeles/San Fernando Valley/ West Hollywood

Gynecomastia is a medical term used to describe an enlargement of male breast glands. There are different treatment options which can range from liposuction, to resection of the breast gland, or a combination of both. Each individual case is different, and therefore, the treatment plan should be individualized to each patient.
