Gynecomastia Surgery Aids in Relieving the Psychological Stress of Having Man Boobs


Gynecomastia is a disorder where the male breast shapes up like that of a female, also known as ‘man boobs’ and may be completely eliminated through gynecomastia surgery or male breast reduction surgery. This breast concern among guys is not the sort of breast enlargement issue fat guys normally have because of having excess chest fats. Rather, guys with Gynecomastia generally produce a kind of breast cells seen in females wherein the shape and distribution of the cells will become that of a bust formation similar to female’s breasts.

Having man boobs is a thing not to be ignored because it will not only result in physical problems but also psychological distress. Males affected by Gynecomastia typically feel not confident and depressed. For instance, they avoid donning tight shirts or taking off their tops in public due to the worry of disclosing their male breasts. Worst situation is that there are those people who taunts guys with man boobs for they look at condition as something strange or amusing. This heckling will actually cause loads of tension to men with gynecomastia.

Out of desperation, many guys even allocate tons of money following diet fads or applying creams that won’t even get rid of their man boobs. Not be able to find efficient remedies will cause disappointments and depression, not unless a guy will opt to have gynecomastia surgery which is the considered to be the long-lasting and successful cure in eliminating breasts that resembles that of women.

Actually, having man boobs is prevalent among adolescent guys as a result of hormonal imbalance transpiring in their bodies for the duration of their puberty stage; thus the appearance of irregular breast shape. Usually, gynecomastia in puberty will just go away if a guy reaches adulthood. When he problem continue even right after maturity, then it’s considered to be true gynecomastia which requires gynecomastia surgery to effectively eliminate those extra breast tissue and in eliminating man boobs for good.

Possible Health Problems Related to Gynecomastia Symptoms


Adolescent guys are usually faced with the issue of having man boobs, which is known to be part of the significant Gynecomastia symptoms many men are worried about. Truth is, the development of male breasts among teenage guys is nothing but normal because during this period in their life, their hormone levels are developing.  This gynecomastia in puberty usually goes away even without the need for treatment once a guy reached adulthood. Yet if man boobs persist up to maturity, then it might be a possible sign of a health problem which must not be ignored and needs the examination of a GP.

The number one concern for having Gynecomastia symptoms (male breasts) even after overcoming puberty is that it could be an indication of liver failure. Don’t panic though because not all man boobs represents liver disease, particularly that this kind of illness is much more common in women in contrasts to men.

Aside from live failure signs, Gynecomastia symptoms could also mean any of the following health issues:
  • Tumours of androgen-producing glands
  • Syndromes such as Klinefelter’s Syndrome
  • Kidney failure
  • Hypogonadism
  • Hyperthyroidism
In order to be sure that the occurrence of male breasts is not due to a serious illness, plastic surgeons will first ask their patients to see their GP before deciding if they indeed require cosmetic procedure. When it’s proven that the man boobs is not an indicator of any health problem, it will be ideal to undergo male breast reduction surgery to eliminate any trace of those embarrassing Gynecomastia symptoms in a man’s body.

The result is male breasts that are difficult to eradicate, not unless a Gynecomastia surgery is done to efficiently diminish those often embarrassing man boobs. 

Dieting and exercising will do nothing to reduce the appearance of Pseudogynecomastia since this kind of man boobs can sometimes be rooted to the hormonal changes taking place in a man’s body because of age or other external matters that enhances his capacity to collect fats while at the same time weakening his ability to swiftly and efficiently burn fats.  Gynecomastia surgery is the sole cure for this sort of man boobs, as well as those caused by biological matters where stubborn fat metabolizes sluggishly compared to normal fat.

Know the Common Symptoms of Gynecomastia


Before and After photos of Gynecomastia Surgery
Some guys think that having male breasts is such a horrific situation that often leads them to feel really depressed. What most men don’t know is that Gynecomastia, popularly known as ‘man boobs’ is a condition that is common among many men of all ages and race. In fact, having male breasts is prevalent among teenage boys as a result of the hormonal changes happening on their bodies during puberty and simply goes away once they reach adulthood. Yet there are instances when the man boobs stay even if a guy is already done with his puberty stage.  

Men will know if they are affected by Gynecomastia if they have the following symptoms:

  • Breasts Bigger than the Normal Size
This is the number one, most common symptom of a ‘man boobs’ condition.  Having breasts that appears to be that of a teenage girl or for some men, just like that of an ordinary female breasts is a result of the buildup of excess fatty tissues in the chest brought about by certain factors like hormonal imbalance or genetic factors. 

  • Bloated, Protruding Nipples
Just like the first symptom, the growth of bloated, protruding nipples is as well due to the buildup of excess fatty tissues in a man’s chest. This can be quite embarrassing especially when a guy is wearing a tight shirt since the bloated nipples can look really prominent and might be mistaken for being aroused most of the time. 

The good thing about Gynecomastia is that it’s a condition that can be easily lessened or completely eliminated through various treatment methods. Depending on the condition and kind of the ‘man boobs’ a guy have, there’s an ideal treatment for it in the form of either an exercise or cosmetic procedure that will correct the problem of having male breasts. 

Men suffering from ‘man boobs’ need not worry much since this condition will not bring dangers to their health. However, having male breasts or nipples that are bigger than the normal size can be quite embarrassing that it’s best to seek for solutions on how to eradicate the issue. As I mentioned it already, Gynecomastia is not hard to treat; so don’t hesitate to visit your GP or cosmetic surgeon and ask for their advice on how to successfully eliminate man boobs.

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.
