What is Gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia is a medical condition in which male breast tissue becomes enlarged due to hormonal imbalance between estrogen and testosterone. It may affect one or both sides of the chest and can occur at any age. Many men feel uncomfortable or self-conscious about the appearance of their chest, which can affect their confidence and lifestyle. In such cases, male breast reduction surgery is considered the most effective treatment.
Common Causes of Gynecomastia
- Hormonal imbalances
- Obesity or excess fat in the chest area
- Genetic factors
- Certain medications
- Steroid or drug use
- Aging-related hormonal changes
Consulting a qualified plastic surgeon helps determine the exact cause and the most suitable treatment plan.
