Gynecomastia Surgery / Male Breast Surgery
Gynecomastia, the benign enlargement of male breast glands typically dormant in most males, varies in prevalence among different races and age groups. It is estimated that one in every four males may develop a propensity for Gynecomastia during their lifetime.
The increase in the size of male breast glands can be attributed to various factors, including hormonal imbalances (such as increased Estrogen activity or decreased testosterone activity), the side effects of certain medications like Cimetidine, or, in some cases, it may be idiopathic, lacking a clearly defined or proven reason.
Enlarged male breast tissue can cause social embarrassment, anxiety, avoidance of social gatherings, and even depression. Additionally, it can disrupt activities such as jogging, dancing, and swimming. Notably, Gynecomastia resulting from the enlargement of male breast glands may persist despite earnest efforts at working out and weight loss, as the enlarged glands are resistant to the effects of exercise. At Asteria Aesthetics Clinic, we specialize in virtually scarless liposuction and gland excision procedures for Gynecomastia. A discreetly small incision is made in the nipple area, ensuring that the eventual scar remains hidden at the junction of the nipple and surrounding skin.
