Male Breast Reduction (Gynaecomastia)

Gynecomastia is a condition many man suffer from who find themselves ridiculed for having female-like breasts. Male chest reduction treatment (gynecomastia) is becoming an increasingly popular solution for men who wish to restore their self-confidence and be proud of their appearance.

Gynecomastia surgery specifically addresses the problems faced by men suffering from gynecomastia, which involves the overdevelopment of breast tissue. Gynecomastia can be caused by many factors, including common medications, anabolic steroids, herbal or growth supplements, natural or synthetic estrogen hormone derivatives, marijuana, alcohol abuse, chronic liver failure, renal failure and obesity.

Obesity is increasingly being recognised as a leading cause of of gynecomastia. Large numbers of fat cells convert the male hormone testosterone into the female hormone estrogen, leading to the development of female like breasts. Testosterone deficiency can also be caused by natural ageing, which can lead to gynecomastia in later life.

Gynecomastia surgery can alleviate the physical discomfort endured and may also relieve social distress related to gynecomastia. Following gynecomastia surgery, men are free to wear fitted shirts and t-shirts, and no longer need to be embarrassed about removing their shirts at the pool or the beach. Gynecomastia surgery can both provide freedom and restore your self-esteem.
