General Reconstructive Plastic Surgery
Reconstructive plastic surgery helps patients of all ages and types, from children with birth defects, to adults injured in an accident, or even older adults with problems caused by aging. The goals of reconstructive surgery differ from those of cosmetic surgery. Reconstructive surgery is performed on abnormal structures of the body, caused by birth defects, developmental abnormalities, trauma or injury, infection, tumors, or disease, and is generally performed to improve function, but may also be done to approximate a normal appearance. Cosmetic surgery is usually performed to reshape normal structures of the body to improve the patient's appearance and self?esteem.

Gynecomastia
Gynecomastia is a condition in which the male's breast tissue enlarges. Gynecomastia literally means "woman breast". The increase in tissue usually occurs at times when the male is having hormonal changes, such as during infancy, adolescence, and old age.

Gynecomastia Correction
Male breast reduction, or the procedure used to correct the gynecomastia condition.
