What causes male breasts to occur? What causes male breasts to occur?

The cause of prominent male breasts (sometimes called “man boobs”) is often unknown but may be related to excessive oestrogen, the use of certain medications, and simply ageing.

There are two types of tissues that can produce a protuberant breast or chest: fat, and glandular breast tissue. In general, glandular tissue is firmer compared to fat and may require excision to flatten the chest adequately. If the problematic tissue is fat, liposuction is preferred to achieve a flatter chest.

Further medical tests may be required to check if the underlying problem is hormonal and may require special treatment.

What is Gynaecomastia? What is Gynaecomastia?

There are two types of operation performed for this problem depending on the anatomical problem:

1. Excessive fat – if no firm, glandular tissue can be felt behind the nipples and the chest feels soft then most likely the problem is one of too much fat tissue. Liposculpture of the chest can improve the shape.

2. Excessive glandular tissue – firm tissue behind the nipples. A surgical procedure is required to remove the enlarged breast tissue.

In some men, both problems exist, and if this is the case can be addressed at the same operation.

Gynaecomastia is a medical condition that causes men to develop enlarged breasts. Gynaecomastia can be caused by genetics and hormones, but it’s usually the result of excess fat in the chest area. It’s a common condition, affecting more than half of all men at some point in their lives. One of the most common causes of Gynaecomastia is excessive body fat. If you have a lot of weight around your chest area, it can cause your breasts to enlarge. This is often referred to as male breast tissue enlargement.

If you’re experiencing Gynaecomastia symptoms, we can help you find the right treatment option for your needs. At The Doctor’s studio, we offer a full range of Gynaecomastia treatments including Gynaecomastia surgery or a Male Breast Reduction. Dr. David Topchian is a highly trained expert who has performed successful Gynaecomastia surgery for hundreds of men over the years.

Gynaecomastia surgery is the surgical procedure to correct enlarged male breasts. Gynaecomastia surgery usually involves liposuction, which removes excess fat, and breast reduction, which reduces the size of the glandular tissue. Male breast reduction surgery is designed to reduce the size of a man’s breasts so they are more proportionate to his body shape.

How does a Gynaecomastia procedure work? How does a Gynaecomastia procedure work?

The excess breast fat is removed using a liposculpture technique under a general anaesthetic. A cannula is passed through small 3 mm incisions under the skin to extract fat under negative pressure.

For men with overgrowth of glandular tissue as the main problem, an incision is made at the lower half of the nipple, and the glandular tissue is removed. Sutures are used to close the incision, which generally heals well.

The Gynaecomastia procedure usually takes around an hour, and patients can go home after a period of observation.

Most patients feel sore for two or three days and can usually return to work a minimum of 5-7 days post surgery if no lifting is required. If your job is more of a physical nature, Dr Topchian will discuss how many days to wait before returning to work.

A compressive garment is worn for four weeks to promote healing. If sutures are used, they are removed at the one week stage. Antibiotics are taken to reduce the chance of an infection.

Pain is manageable with simple medication. Patients are encouraged to commence gentle activity the day after their procedure and usually get back to normal exercise after three to four weeks.
