Also known as gynecomastia, breast reduction for men is the surgical correction of over-developed or enlarged breasts in men. It can result in terrible embarrassment, teasing, and social trauma. Many will try to hide it with thick shirts, avoid bare chest activities, and withdraw from public exposure. Common phrases for this condition include gyno, man boobs, moobs, puffy nipples, and puffed nips. |
