Gynecomastia (or) Gynaecomastia, most commonly referred to as ‘MALE BREASTS’ or “MALE CHEST ENLARGEMENT” is a common condition in more than 70% of men worldwide. Enlarged male chest results from hormonal imbalances at any age and steroid overuse, though other causes also do exist. There is an increase in the amount of breast gland tissue and / or fat resulting from any of the above factors.

Though not a serious medical problem, enlarged male breast are often abnormally prominent and may be tough to cope with emotionally for a few. Many teens who suffer with this condition are body shamed and eventually suffer a very low self-esteem in the later course of life.

Most common mannerisms of boys / men with male boobs or moobs :

  • Excessive stoop / hunchback
  • Avoid removing shirts in public
  • Avoid tight fitting T-shirts / shirts
  • Avoid socialising with female counterparts
  • Reluctance to participate in activities that involve revealing their upper bodies. Ex. swimming, pre-wedding rituals etc.

Most often, the breast swelling resulting from transient hormonal changes during puberty may go away on its own without treatment, usually within 6 months to 2 years of onset. If it persists, surgical correction is the most straightforward solution to correct the swollen breasts. Exercise and dieting are inadequate in addressing abnormally large male breasts. Also, certain drugs (e.g. marijuana, anabolic steroids) and medical conditions (e.g. liver disease) can aggravate gynecomastia – these should be dealt with before considering gynecomastia surgery.

These enlarged tissues are neither cancerous nor cause any health concerns. Many with man boobs experience pain in their breasts to varying degrees, most often referred to as “PAINFUL GYNECOMASTIA” and are ideal candidates for a surgical procedure.

Gynecomastia can affect one breast (Unilateral Gynecomastia) or both breasts (Bilateral Gynecomastia), sometimes unevenly. Occasionally, clients with one-sided Gynecomastia prefer to get operated only on the prominently enlarged side. It is advisable however, to get operated on both sides to achieve desired symmetrical results as per advice from your experienced Plastic Surgeon.
