Causes of a male bust – when does gynecomastia surgery help?
Do you suffer from an overly prominent male chest? With gynecomastia surgery, our highly qualified team of specialists at UNIQAESTHETICS® can help you achieve a flatter and more masculine-looking chest area. We place the greatest value on a convincing and as natural-looking a result as possible.
A clearly defined, masculine-looking chest is a beauty ideal that many men desire. For various reasons, however, the exact opposite can occur, namely an unwanted growth of the breasts in men. This often affects the self-image shaped by the masculine role understanding. Low self-confidence and reduced quality of life are not uncommon consequences.
An enlarged male breast can be caused either by an enlargement of the mammary gland (true gynecomastia) or by an accumulation of fatty tissue (pseudogynecomastia), with overweight also playing a role. The most common cause, however, is a hormonal change that typically occurs during puberty. This youthful chest growth usually disappears within a few years – but in some cases it does not. If this applies, gynecomastia surgery can help in adulthood.
