What Exactly is Gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia defines a condition in which the male breast tissue and typically the nipples as well, become enlarged. They can become enlarged to the point where they are no longer aesthetically pleasing, and a breast reduction surgery may be required to reverse the abnormal growth of this tissue.
Gynecomastia can be caused by a variety of factors, including:
- Weight gain
- Excessive alcohol consumption
- Hormonal imbalances occurring naturally
- Hormonal imbalances occurring due to drug use
- Other medical conditions
- Other medical treatments
- Smoking
- Medications and drugs
When a patient is diagnosed with gynecomastia, the first thing he wants to know is whether the effects of gynecomastia are reversible and what possible treatments there are. Fortunately, there is an option for male breast reduction in Beverly Hills.
Gynecomastia Treatment Options
As board certified plastic surgeons, Dr. Kapoor and Dr. Schlenker will be able to immediately educate patients on the best ways for reducing the effects of gynecomastia and getting rid of the enlarged tissue problems altogether. The most viable solution for the treatment of this condition is through male breast reduction surgery, which is an enhanced procedure designed specifically to eliminate the effects of gynecomastia.
Supplemental treatment options that are highly recommended by the doctor include:
- Diet improvement
- Increased exercise
- Recovery solutions following the gynecomastia procedure
In most cases, the male breast reduction procedure is the only viable option for reversing the growth of the breast tissue. There are unfortunately no pills or injections that have been developed to help stem the growth of the breast tissue or to reduce it. That’s why the male breast reduction treatment has been invented as a sure-fire way to reduce breast tissue and remove all excess growth.
What to Expect After the Procedure
After the gynecomastia procedure, patients do not have to worry about the risk of their gynecomastia condition coming back. The results of the procedure are incredibly long-lasting, including a permanent end to the growth of that breast tissue. There is no risk of the tissue re-growing, as it will have been swiftly and successfully removed during the procedure.
Patients can also enjoy additional benefits and perks from having this breast reduction procedure. Aside from lasting results and a short recovery time, patients have noticed a more toned appearance, an improvement in their posture and a boost in their self-esteem and confidence.
Most of our patients find that their clothes fit better, they have an easier time exercising, and they feel more confident in their body, which overall works to improve a greater quality of life. The benefits of this easy procedure are greatly worth the investment, which is why many patients have expressed positive interest in this life-improving surgery.
