Male Breasts (Gynecomastia): Not just a Cosmetic Issue


Gynecomastia is a medical condition of over developed breasts in men that resembles to woman’s breasts and is a common problem in men of all ages (especially in overweight guys). Men always try to get rid of it due to obvious reasons but the excess breast tissue can make it impossible to achieve a toned, flat chest no matter how many push-ups or bench presses you do because breasts tissue cannot be decreased through diet/exercise or any creams/oils. Male breast (Gynaecomastia) Correction surgery by an expert plastic surgeon makes sure that men don’t have to live with fatty breast tissue.



Gynecomastia can affect Men psychologically
Boys and adult men suffering from gynecomastia are often hesitant to share their plight with family members due to embarrassment because sometimes they are laughed at and are asked forget it and just move on with the life because they think it is normal to have a little bit of breast tissue compared to the other boys but, that’s no big deal as it doesn’t harm you physically. However, gynecomastia is a big deal for young boys and adults because it crushes their self esteem, pulls them back from a rich social life, it is like an insult to their masculine identity acting as a mental barrier for them because, deep in mind they have this insecure feeling that they will be ridiculed by others when they take their shirt off and people will think that they are not man enough.

Many men experience emotional turmoil and alienation because of the dissatisfaction with their not-so-manly appearance. By improving the shape of chest; gynaecomastia surgery installs confidence and adds to the sense of well-being. With the availability of simple and safe surgical options like Trans-nipple gynecomastia correction surgery by Dr. R. K. Mishra, Gynaecomastia is no more a matter of mental stress.

Is it Gynecomastia or just Excess Fat?
Almost every third man faces this condition called “Gynecomastia” during puberty and it usually disappears with time. The excess breast tissue that develops in some men during their adolescence stays even as they enter adulthood and this is when it becomes a confirmed case of gynecomastia. This is not normal process because the excess breast tissue should have flattened out by this time. In a nutshell, if you are in adulthood and have excess breast tissue, then it is gynecomastia and will not go away naturally. You may need to consider surgical correction to get rid of it.



Bed rest or hospital stay required?
The surgical correction of gyencomastia is a day care procedure (you are allowed to go home at the same day) and resume all the normal routine work from the next day which allows you to do it on weekend and join your work/college from Monday onwards without any issues.
