Gynecomastia, or the development of male breasts, is a common condition that affects nearly half of all men over the course of their lives. Estimates suggest that 40 to 60 percent of the male population have experienced an increase of breast tissue to varying degrees.
Although there is no definite known cause of gynecomastia, breast tissue can be formed due to weight gain, hormonal increases or genetics. Excess tissue can be present unilaterally (in one breast) or bilaterally (both breasts). Whatever the cause of excess male breast tissue, removing the excess tissue and reshaping the chest will create a slimmer more masculine contour.
Our Plastic Surgery & MED Spa Consultation Team are waiting to help you with all your queries.
Excess localized fat at the breast is usually caused by an issue with testosterone levels, leading to more estrogen in the body. Excess brest skin occurs after significant weight loss, weight fluctuation or the body’s aging process.
Excess glandular tissue development is a condition that causes boys’ and men’s breasts to swell and become larger than normal. It is most common in teenage boys and older men. This can be very distressing for young men in particular, affecting their self confidence.
Dr. Wali will discuss all options of removal during your one-on-one consultation. Many men only need liposuction to achieve their desired result but a combination approach involving both liposuction and the removal of glandular tissue is sometimes necessary.
We are so privileged to have been able to look after so many patients that are thrilled with their results.
