Gynecomastia Treatment In Mumbai

Men or boys with gynecomastia have enlargements or overdevelopment of their breast tissue. Breasts become larger. It is possible for them to grow unevenly. Sexual hormones are present in both men and women. A hormonal imbalance between males and females can cause gynecomastia, because male hormone levels are higher in men than in women. Additionally, there are several drugs that can lead to hormonal changes and gynecomastia. The fact that men's breast tissue does not shrink can lead to embarrassment and psychological distress. Puberty or extreme ages can cause breast growth physiologically.

Men, due to various factors, may develop enlarged breasts. It can happen genetically, with side effects of certain medications, puberty, or hormonal imbalance. Even if weight is lost, some leaner men may still have enlarged breasts. Male breast removal, also known as gynecomastia surgery, is the removal of such enlarged breasts in men. It removes excessive fat and glandular tissue to flatten the breasts.

Gynecomastia affects men across all ages and if one requires a more flatter and masculine chest, they may opt for a surgery that will reduce the breast. It is usually done using liposuction along with removal of the breast gland.
