Male breast development is a normal condition that affects almost half of all men. In most cases, the direct cause of the gynecomastia is unknown and will not require treatment. If the condition is severe and bothersome to the man, surgery may be an option.
During surgery, unwanted glandular and/or fatty tissue is removed. In some cases, liposuction may be sufficient. This depends on the firmness and size of the mammary gland itself. Sometimes it is also necessary to remove excess skin if the breast is very saggy. If you are overweight, it is recommended that you lose weight before any surgical treatment.
We always do a thorough pre-investigation
It is important to have a thorough preliminary examination. Among other things, our doctors need to make sure that there is no explainable cause for the male breast formation, such as alcohol abuse, anabolic steroids, liver dysfunction or a hormone-producing tumor. The preliminary consultation also helps to ensure that you can make an informed decision about whether surgery is right for you. You are, of course, welcome to bring a relative to the consultation.
