What is gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia is the condition when the breast glands of boys and men increase in size. While not a serious or dangerous medical condition, gynecomastia can be difficult to cope with and reduce the overall quality of daily life. Sometimes, the condition may go away on its own, but often, a gynecomastia surgery is necessary. During the surgery, the surgeon will use liposuction, excision, or a combination of both methods to remove fatty and glandular tissues and excess skin, depending on your specific case, to help you achieve a flatter chest.
What causes gynecomastia?
One of the most common causes of enlarged breasts in men is hormonal changes, particularly in the amount of estrogen and testosterone. Other causes of gynecomastia include side effects of some medications, including anti-depressants, antibiotics, chemotherapy, prostate cancer treatments, and cardiovascular medications. This list is not exhaustive, and our doctors will conduct a thorough consultation with you to determine the underlying causes of your specific condition.
What are the benefits of gynecomastia surgery?
