What is Gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia is a condition in which the land tissue in male breasts is enlarged, resulting in what some call “man boobs”. Gynecomastia usually occurs in both breasts, but can occur in just one in some cases. Males of any age can have gynecomastia, though some risk factors may include aging, specific diseases or conditions, and taking certain medications. Patients with gynecomastia often feel self-conscious of their body, and may refuse to take part in certain activities due to this discomfort.
Gynecomastia surgery can help to restore a flatter, more masculine chest contour for a boost in confidence. This procedure can be done using the liposuction technique, the excision technique, or a combination of the two.
The liposuction technique is used in cases where there is fatty tissue in the breast. Liposuction alone may be used to remove this excess fat to create a more sculpted chest contour. The excision technique is used to remove glandular breast tissue, and can also reduce or reposition the nipple. Where excess fatty tissue and glandular tissue are present, a combination approach may be used.
Following gynecomastia surgery, patients can feel comfortable revealing their chest contours both clothes and unclothed, can gain more social confidence, and enjoy permanent results.
