If the enlarged male breasts are result of the accumulation of fatty tissue, the best method for correction is liposuction. Through two small incisions about 2 mm long, a cannula (thin tube) is introduced into the natural crease to remove excess adipose tissue.

This operation is performed through a small semicircular incision in the lower half of the nipple. Sometimes it is necessary to combine these two methods.
