WHAT IS SEVERE GYNECOMASTIA?
Severe gynecomastia is a condition that can affect men of any age, characterized by significantly enlarged breasts comparable to a C or D cup in women. This enlargement often leads to embarrassment, depression, and limited social interactions, as men may avoid situations that require chest exposure or intimacy.
To manage their condition, some men resort to binding their chests or wearing bras, perceiving large male breasts as a sign of reduced masculinity.
In obesity-related cases, severe gynecomastia may involve excess skin that requires surgical removal, potentially leaving scars after a male breast reduction. Men with this condition also experience Male Breast Ptosis, where the areola droops below the pectoral muscles due to factors like aging, muscle loss, or weight reduction.
When excess skin is present, procedures such as breast liposuction and gland excision might not be sufficient alone, and a breast skin excision known as Mastopexy may be required to achieve optimal results.
BENEFITS OF SEVERE GYNECOMASTIA TREATMENT
Undergoing severe gynecomastia treatment offers numerous benefits, including:
- ∙ Improved Physical Appearance: Achieve a flatter, more masculine chest.
- ∙ Enhanced Self-Esteem: Feel more confident in your clothing and daily interactions.
- ∙ Better Physical Comfort: Alleviate discomfort caused by excess breast tissue.
- ∙ Long-Lasting Results: Enjoy permanent improvements with proper care.
IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR SEVERE GYNECOMASTIA TREATMENT
Men with droopy or abnormally large male breasts may be ideal candidates for severe gynecomastia treatment. If your gynecomastia is caused by medications, you may have to switch to another drug. It is important that you are in good overall health before you undergo surgical treatment. Non-smokers are preferred.
