What is Gynecomastia?

Gynecomastia is the development of excessive breast tissue in men, often related to a hormonal imbalance between testosterone and estrogen. It can affect one or both sides of the chest, sometimes asymmetrically, and may result from factors such as medication use, age-related hormonal changes, or underlying health conditions.

Causes of Gynecomastia

Hormonal Imbalances: Reduced testosterone levels or increased estrogen can lead to breast tissue growth.
Medications: Certain drugs, including anabolic steroids, antidepressants, and some heart medications, may contribute.
Medical Conditions: Liver disease, kidney failure, and thyroid disorders can disrupt hormone levels.
Substance Use: Alcohol, marijuana, and anabolic steroid use are known contributors.
Lifestyle and Aging: Aging and obesity can increase estrogen levels, exacerbating the condition.

Treatment Options for Gynecomastia

Liposuction: Ideal for removing excess fatty tissue, this minimally invasive procedure sculpts the chest through small incisions.
Excision Surgery: Best suited for removing glandular tissue or excess skin. This procedure also allows for nipple repositioning when necessary.
Combination Approach: A blend of liposuction and excision techniques delivers optimal results, targeting both fatty and glandular tissue for a smooth, natural-looking chest contour.
