Women aren’t the only ones who can develop an excess of breast tissue. Gynecomastia is the technical term for an abnormal increase of breast tissue in men. It can develop due to an imbalance in your hormone levels – many men experience levels of gynecomastia during puberty, which typically disappears over time. Since most men prefer a flat, muscular chest, the condition can be debilitating, both physically and emotionally.
Gynecomastia can affect men of any age, but it typically appears at puberty or after age 50. Several things can cause gynecomastia, such as hormones, certain medications, recreational drugs, medical conditions, or inherited DNA. During your consultation, Dr. Helen Allison will take a full medical history and perform a physical to help determine your gynecomastia’s underlying cause. Together you can discuss your treatment options.
Many men live with excessive breast tissue and fat and cannot wear the clothes that they’d like. In fact, most are so embarrassed that they will never be seen without a loose shirt and avoid working out at the gym due to the condition. They don’t realize that there are fairly simple treatment options to cure gynecomastia. Dr. Helen Allison will investigate the cause of the condition, which can vary:
If the underlying cause can be stopped or treated, then surgical intervention may not be necessary. However, in other cases, resolving an excessive quantity of breast tissue or fat will be resolved with liposuction or male breast reduction surgery.
Dr. Allison’s goal with any gynecomastia treatment is to deliver a flat, smooth, youthful-looking chest with little to no visible scarring. Imagine being able to wear tight T-shirts or feel confident when removing your shirt at the beach, pool, or in intimate moments? Our male patients who have undergone this surgery tell us it has been life-changing and well worth it.
