Gynecomastia

Gynecomastia is a condition that causes male breasts to swell and become larger than normal. Yeah, you read that right – guys can develop breast growth too. Far from rare, as it is reported to have an impact on approximately 70% of boys in the adolescent period and 65% of middle-aged and older men.

Gynecomastia is not a very serious medical condition, but it is a very uncomfortable for most male patients. Usually the lumps are not cancerous but they cause anxiety. Mahendra Hair Transplant & Skin Clinic is a trusted and specialized clinic for Gynecomastia.

    Causes Behind the Man Boobs

    There are numerous potential culprits behind those pesky man boobs. Here are some of the most common causes:

    • Hormonal imbalance
      Gynecomastia is usually caused by imbalance of hormones named estrogen to testosterone.  Increased estrogen levels and decreased testosterone levels contribute to the development of breast tissue.
    • Medications
      There are some medicines which are prescribed for treating certain medical conditions that can cause hormonal imbalance and thereby trigger gynecomastia as a side effect.
    • Medical conditions
      Health issues such as tumors, hyperthyroidism, kidney disease and malnutrition could be a cause of hormonal fluctuation.
    • Age
      Hormonal changes in infancy, puberty, and elderly increase gynecomastia risk in boys and elderly men.
    • Genetics This is perhaps the most obvious cause as some men are born with the genes that make them develop the condition

    Who's Most Susceptible?

    While gynecomastia can affect males at any age, certain groups are more vulnerable:

    • Newborns
      Around 60% of baby boys experience temporary breast growth, which is considered normal because of the estrogen in the mother.
    • Adolescents
      Guys during their adolescent – this is due to hormonal changes brought by puberty among teenage young men.
    • Older men
      Men also experience a decrease in testosterone and an increase in estrogen levels as they age.
    • Recreational drug users
      Marijuana, heroin, alcohol, and anabolic steroids affect hormones negatively.
    • Medications Several medications lists gynecomastia as a side effect of the substance.

    Permanent Solution

    The benefits of gynecomastia surgery include that it is a one-time operation that will get rid of this embarrassing condition. It is a surgery to remove the glandular tissue that leads to man boobs. Other treatment such as medication or compression garments affects temporarily on swelling.

    Boosts Confidence

    Men can develop very low self-esteem and poor body image, especially when their breasts are excessively large. It’s very empowering to be free of those unsightly ‘man boobs’ through surgery, and it can do wonders for your self-esteem. You will now be able to let loose and take off that shirt you have been wearing all day without feeling like everyone is staring at you.

In most cases, most of the guys can get back to work and light duties within a few days. It makes it a perfect choice if you want to get your life back on track quickly.

    Visible Results

    The effects of gyno surgery are also immediate and profound – no more wearing loose t-shirts or feeling self-conscious at the shore. Just as soon as you do it you will be able to have a flatter sculpted chest that’s shaped very masculine. Somehow, it feels like pressing the RESTART button right on your chest area.

    What to expect?

    The procedure itself involves liposuction to remove excess fat and excision to cut out unwanted glandular breast tissue. General anesthesia is usually required. Recovery takes 1-2 weeks, with swelling and discomfort common at first.

    It entails liposuction where fats are sucked out, and the second is excision where the… glandular breast tissue is cut out. Morphine and a muscle relaxant are usually needed to facilitate this procedure and the patient would have to be under general anesthesia. The healing process lasts for 1-2 weeks, and patients experience mild inflammation and soreness in the beginning.

    Generally, the improvement of most of the patients is quite spectacular in 3-6 months as the chest area gets repaired and contracts. However, to sustain such physiques, you will have to embrace a number of practices such as dieting.

    Procedure of Gynecomastia surgery

    On the big day, you’ll be given anesthesia so you don’t feel a thing during the 1-3 hour outpatient procedure. There are a few techniques surgeons use:

    • Liposuction: A tiny cylindrical shaped channel that is attached at two ends removes excessive fat from the area of the breast. It leaves minimal scarring.
    • Excision: The gynecologist excises that bit of what is called glandular tissue in the breasts. Inguinal exploration is done more where there is a more severe gynecomastia this approach is done.
    • Combined: Combined liposuction and surgical excision and for major reduction mammaplasty.
