Gynecomastia is a disorder of the endocrine system where male breast tissue gets swollen, over-developed or enlarged. This condition can appear in males at any age.
Gynecomastia can be triggered by numerous factors including excess weight gain or as side effects of taking certain medications like antibiotics, herbals like tea tree oil, anabolic steroids, narcotics drugs, etc., but usually, it results from the imbalance of hormones, where male sex hormone testosterone decreases with age. This abnormal appearing chest contour or “man boobs” can be the cause of embarrassment and distress in men of all ages. Therefore, to take care of this condition and to reduce male breast size, male breast reduction surgery is done where usually Liposuction is combined with Keyhole surgery. This surgery can give men, an improved self-esteem and boost their confidence.
