Why men grow breasts?

The cause of enlarged breasts in men aren’t always known, but puberty, medications, steroid abuse, weight gain, aging, hormonal imbalances, tumors, hereditary diseases are some of the known causes. Gynecomastia is the medical term that refers to men with enlarged breasts (the word is derived from the Greek root which means “woman-like breasts”).

The term psuedo-gynecomastia is used when referring to individuals that can lose the excess fat in their chest and breast region by proper exercise and diet. The majority of gynecomastia victims, however, require male breast reduction surgery to achieve a flat chest. This surgery can involve liposuction, removing excess breast tissue and sometimes even excess skin.

How to reduce men’s breasts

Male breast reduction exercises (such as cardiovascular exercise, push-ups, bench-presses and other chest exercises) will only work if you have enlarged breasts due to an unhealthy lifestyle and excessive weight gain. Male breast reduction surgery, also known as gynecomastia surgery, is the only permanent solution for people with gynecomastia. Liposuction and / or excision are used to remove fat and excess glandular tissue from the chest area. Qualified plastic surgeons enjoy a high success rate when it comes to male breast reduction procedures and the majority of patients are extremely pleased with the results.

The ideal candidate for male breast reduction is a person who is healthy, not obese, has realistic expectations about the procedure and is emotionally stable.

Male breast reduction cost is often one of the deciding factors when it comes to choosing a plastic surgeon for the procedure, but it is important not to skimp on quality. If you’ve found a gynecomastia surgeon that you feel comfortable with (but are concerned about the gynecomastia cost), ask the surgeon if they have financing options.
