Whether lounging around the beach or a pool, hanging out in jeans and a t-shirt,
trying to fit nicely into a suit, or simply taking their shirt off, sufferers of
gynecomastia wish it would go away.
Male breast reduction is the surgical correction of over-developed or enlarged breasts
in men.
Gynecomastia, a condition of over-developed or enlarged breasts in men, is common
at age. It can be the result of hormonal changes, heredity conditions, disease or
the use of certain drugs.
Gynecomastia can cause emotional distress and erode your self confidence. Some men
may even avoid certain physical activities and intimacy simply to hide their condition.
Gynecomastia is characterized by:
- Excess localized fat
- Excess glandular tissue development
- A combination of excess fat and glandular tissue
- May be present in one or both breasts
Actually, more men will develop gynecomastia than will not. But that doesn’t make
it any less worrisome for those who suffer from it.
Whether hanging out at the beach or pool, working in jeans and a t-shirt, trying
to look good in a business suit - or just taking their shirt off, sufferers of gynecomastia
wish there was a remedy.
n recent years the treatment of gynecomastia has become mainstream. It is not just
the weightlifters and teenagers with the really bad cases seeking male chest reduction;
it is the men in their 20s and 30s with just enough extra tissue in their chest
for them not to look as good as they should. It is now one of the most common plastic
surgery operations.
