Gynecomastia Surgery | Facts

There are numerous reasons why male breasts develop, also known as Gynecomastia.  This condition usually happens during puberty or at old age. Male breasts develop during puberty mostly because of hormonal imbalance. And most of the time teens who experienced this condition usually undergo surgery. However, we highly recommend that they have to wait until they are of legal age or at least they reached 18 to 20 years. We have several patients who got their cases resolve and don’t need to go through with surgery.  

Before Gynecomastia Surgery

After the grace period (20 years old), if Gynecomastia still did not disappear, the cause of the condition should be identified.  The most common causes of male breasts development are using prohibited drugs or drugs containing cimetidine, marijuana, and obesity.  Steroid use can also trigger such predicament, especially weight builders. Furthermore, male breasts can be hereditary.

There are some who are not overweight, but still acquire this condition. Typically, fat accumulates on some parts of one’s body. Some develop them on the chest or tummy. Unfortunately, there are others who have it on their breasts.

After Gynecomastia Surgery

Majority of our patients who come to Aurora Clinics, previously tried in stopping their development by doing exercises for the chest. However, doing so can make the pectoralis major muscle (muscle on the breast) stronger.  It worsens the situation. It can make the muscle much thicker, and enhances the breast to develop even more.  Exercise will never ease the fatty tissues growth. For those men, who are fond of doing chest exercises it would be best to discontinue exercising.  Do normal exercises and do not ever attempt to do chest exercises ever again.  You can still lose weight without those exercises. Focus more on your shoulder muscles or any part of your body, except for your chest.  Being physically fit and having a right diet is the best step in stopping the condition.

In the event Gynecomastia still continues to develop after following a healthy diet and exercise. Another option left for you is surgery.
