Gynecomastia
Gynecomastia is the enlargement of male breast tissue caused by hormonal imbalance, genetics, or certain medications.
The condition can affect self-confidence and comfort.
Surgical correction, known as male breast reduction, removes excess glandular tissue and fat, restoring a naturally masculine chest contour.
It’s a safe, effective solution that delivers lasting physical and emotional relief.
Overview And Clinical Background
Understanding Male Breast Enlargement
Gynecomastia surgery targets both fat and glandular tissue to reshape the chest.
It may involve liposuction, tissue excision, or a combination of both.
Modern methods leave minimal scars and deliver smooth, natural contours.
- Causes: Hormonal changes, certain drugs, or health conditions may increase glandular tissue in men.
- The surgery rebalances chest proportion by removing excess fat and gland.
- Outcome: Improved body confidence and a more athletic, firm chest profile.
Symptoms, Signs And Presentation
Men with gynecomastia usually notice swollen or firm breast tissue, tenderness, and asymmetry.
The condition can affect one or both sides of the chest.
- Common symptom: Visible chest enlargement or puffiness around the nipples.
- Tenderness or discomfort during physical activity.
- Red flag: Rapid or painful swelling should be medically evaluated for underlying causes.
Diagnosis Methods And Investigations
Physical Exam And Hormonal Tests
A full examination helps determine if the swelling is glandular, fatty, or mixed.
Tests may include hormone studies and imaging to plan treatment.
- Imaging: Ultrasound or mammography helps identify tissue type and density.
- Lab tests: Hormone panels assess testosterone and estrogen levels for imbalance.
- Endocrine evaluation ensures the cause is treated, not just the appearance.
Treatment Options And Surgical Techniques
Gynecomastia correction is typically done under local or general anesthesia.
Liposuction removes excess fat, and direct excision targets glandular tissue.
The nipple-areolar complex is repositioned if necessary for symmetry.
- Conservative: Lifestyle changes or medication adjustments may reduce mild cases.
- Minimally invasive options: Micro-liposuction with small incisions leaves nearly invisible scars.
- Open excision is used for dense glandular tissue or large reductions.
Recovery, Risks And Prognosis
Most patients return to light activity within a week.
Compression garments help reduce swelling and shape the chest.
Long-term results are stable if weight and hormones remain balanced.
