Gynecomastia refers to the enlargement of glandular tissue in the male chest. It commonly occurs because of hormonal imbalances due to disturbances in the endocrine system of the body. Sometimes, intake of certain drugs can also result in the above condition. Other factors that can cause gynecomastia include obesity, steroid consumption, intake of junk food and sodas, thyroid problems, liver disease, and use of certain drugs. Young males suffering with this problem often find it a cause of social embarrassment. 

 

INTRODUCTION

If persistent for a long time, surgical management is the only treatment available for gynecomastia. The procedure includes surgical removal of enlarged glandular tissue along with liposuction if there’s any fat accumulation as well. It is a daycare procedure, and to manage the discomfort associated with the surgery. It is performed after administering anesthesia. The surgery helps in flattening the male chest profile. 

Types of Gynecomastia 

1. Pseudogynecomastia

In this condition, the fat cells deposit in the chest area of the men suffering from obesity. Liposuction helps to remove the excess fat tissue, and this is done by inserting a small tube cannula that melts the fat, and then the fat is removed with the help of suction technique.

2. True gynecomastia

This condition occurs as a result of growth of glandular tissue, and surgical removal is the only option to treat this condition.

Sometimes gynaecomastia can also occur due to genetics, so adopting a vigorous exercise and dieting cannot help to correct this problem. Many people often pair gynecomastia surgery with a tummy tuck to achieve a stronger and tighter core that enhances their newly muscular chest.
