Gynecomastia Reduction

Worried About a Puffy Chest? It might be Gynecomastia.

Ever felt self-conscious about having a bulged chest? First of all, No, you’re not alone. Many men experience this condition, and yes, it can take a toll on your confidence and self-esteem. The condition is called Gynecomastia, or what’s commonly referred to as “man boobs.”
While it’s not typical for men to develop a noticeably enlarged chest, it’s important to know that it’s nothing to be ashamed of. And here’s the good news, gynecomastia is absolutely treatable.

Lets learn about Gynecomastia:
We often see patients who say things like, “I’ve been fit all my life, but my chest still looks puffy.” Having extra, bulged tissue in the chest area is actually pretty common in men, but that doesn’t make it normal. What many people mistake for chest fat is actually glandular tissue. Ulike fat, it doesn’t go away no matter how much you work out or how clean you eat. Gynecomastia feels firmer than fat and is often resistant to exercise, which can be frustrating, especially for guys who are otherwise in good shape.

So what are the causes of Gynecomastia?
Unfortunately, we cannot pinpoint on one single cause for Gynecomastia. It can be caused from hormonal imbalances to substance abuse. This condition can be shown at any stage of a men’s life cycle, starting from puberty to even in their 30’s.

How to get rid of Gynecomastia?
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is always recommended, especially to rule out fat-related chest enlargement (pseudogynecomastia). But, gynecomastia often doesn't go away with exercise or diet alone.
Treatment options include hormone therapy in some cases, but the most effective and lasting solution is often gynecomastia surgery, where the excess glandular tissue is removed for a flatter, more contoured chest.

Is Gynecomastia surgery safe and effective?
Absolutely! When performed by an experienced and qualified plastic surgeon, gynecomastia surgery is considered very safe and highly effective.

The procedure is typically done using minimally invasive techniques, through which the excess glandular tissue, and sometimes fat is removed. Thus, resulting in a flatter and more natural-looking chest area.
And the best part is, the surgery is done in one single procedure with minimal waiting period. As an individual you walk in, get it done, and walk out the same day, no need for multiple sittings!
