Gynecomastia is the abnormal development of the breast tissue in men. Also referred to as man boobs, experts have yet to determine the exact cause of gynecomastia, although it is widely accepted that an imbalance between the hormones testosterone and estrogen is a factor.

Man boobs are primarily an aesthetic concern as it non-cancerous and painless. It can, however, cause men to lose self-confidence especially in situations such as swimming at the beach or wearing tight-fitting clothing. There are plenty of ways that can help get rid of man boobs, but the most effective is gynecomastia surgery.

First, it is important to understand the causes of gynecomastia. As mentioned, hormonal imbalance is usually the culprit when it comes to developing enlarged breasts. This imbalance usually occurs during the puberty years, which explains why many teenagers suffer from man boobs. Thankfully, there’s a high chance for teenagers to eliminate their man boobs when they hit their later teen years.

Also another common cause is the use of anabolic steroids used by bodybuilders. Of course not all steroids will cause it, only the ones that aromatize. Anadrol, Sustanon and Dianabol are especially known causes. Some others are weaker stimulators and are dose related.

Gynecomastia is also common among older men because testosterone levels decrease with age. In addition, men taking androgen blocking medications may be at a higher risk for developing man boobs. These medications are used to combat the development of prostate cancer, but one side effect can be gynecomastia due to the reduction in the level of testosterone.

If you are looking to reduce the size of your breasts, then you should consider gynecomastia surgery. Of course, you will have to consult with your doctor to determine whether there are other less invasive alternatives. A surgical operation is usually considered to be the most effective way to improve the appearance of your chest or totally correct man boobs.

Gynecomastia Surgery Procedure

There are two surgical procedures used to eliminate gynecomastia.

• The first is liposuction, which is carried out by our plastic surgeon. This procedure involves the removal of excess fat in the chest area by creating incisions.
• The other is mastectomy which not only involves the removal of fat, but also the breast gland tissue and excess skin to make the chest look firmer.

When you speak to our plastic surgeon they will advise on the best procedure for you.

What’s great about undergoing surgery to get rid of gynecomastia is that you can get your desired results immediately. After a successful operation, you can readily notice the reduction in breast size. The recovery period typically lasts up to 3 weeks, but you can usually go back to work within a week following the operation. This is what makes surgery such an attractive option for those suffering from gynecomastia, as other methods to remove man boobs can take a very long time before you see noticeable results.

Gynecomastia isn’t a major health concern, but it can cause you to have lower self-esteem. If you are too embarrassed with your condition, then it’s time to seek help and look for ways to get rid of man boobs. Eating the right kind of diet and exercising regularly can go a long way in your fight against gynecomastia. Gynecomastia surgery is also an excellent option, but you need to understand both its advantages and disadvantages. It is best to book a free consultation with our plastic surgeon.

Why Women Have More Cosmetic Surgery Than Men.

There’s no getting around the fact that women have more cosmetic surgery procedures than men, but why exactly is this?

After all, there are plenty of cosmetic surgery procedures for men out there – and many men do take advantage of them – however some men are still not comfortable with undergoing them. Below we’ll see why men are still slightly reticent about cosmetic surgery, and debunk a few myths at the same time…

Male Embarrassment

Let’s face it: most men don’t choose to have cosmetic surgery because they are worried about what their mates will say and about the ribbing they will get when they are down the pub. Perhaps some men should think differently though: surely getting a bit of joke made at their expense is better than the constant jokes about their bald head (remedied using hair transplants) or their penis size! So, men should remember that the mocking will end, however the great results will be around forever!

Men Are Generally Happier With Their Appearance

When it comes to the differences in psyche between men and women, it is evident that men are generally happier with their appearance than women. There is less pressure on men to conform to certain looks and men are generally happier to just laugh off any issues that they might have with their body. This is changing though, and now men account for over 10% of all cosmetic surgery procedures. This shows that the male attitude towards looking good is changing and that men are finally coming around to the idea that they don’t have to put up with their perceived imperfections.

Lack of Examples in the Media

For women, there are loads of different celebrities and other well-known people who have clearly had plastic surgery, and look great thanks to it. This therefore encourages women who see them to go in the same direction, and therefore drives up the number of women in total visiting a plastic surgeon. Men, on the other hand, don’t tend to have so many “role models” when it comes to plastic surgery, therefore meaning they aren’t given that push. Of course, if men looked hard enough, they’d see that plenty of celebrities have gone under the knife though (aside from Wayne Rooney’s hair transplant, which might not be the best advert).

Despite the reasons listed above, men are increasingly starting to come round to the idea of cosmetic surgery, although they still make up a small percentage of the total number of procedures throughout the country.

At Moorgate Aesthetics, we offer a large range of cosmetic surgery procedures for men, ranging from penis enlargement through to hair transplants, as well as a number of different procedures that can be for both men and women. If you are a man and want to find out more about what we can do for you, please don’t hesitate to contact us. Don’t worry, we won’t tell any of your mates about it…
