Gynecomastia (Male Breast Reduction)
Serving Kansas City & Lee's Summit, Missouri
Gynecomastia is a condition of over-developed or enlarged breasts in men. The causes of this problem range from hormonal changes, to intake of certain medication, including steroids for body building. In fact, it is not uncommon for healthy teenage boys, usually around 14 years of age, to have this problem for 1 to 2 years. The reason is hormonal and usually goes away after puberty. Often the cause of Gynecomastia is never identified. Being overweight can cause too much estrogen, resulting in Gynecomastia, therefore it is recommended to lose weight.
Gynecomastia can affect your self-esteem and even cause emotional distress. Some men may even avoid certain physical activities and intimacy just to hide their condition.
With modern plastic surgery, gynecomastia can be effectively corrected by addressing the three components of excess fat, excess breast tissue and excess skin.
If you have gynecomastia, causing emotional distress, Dr. Chhatre can help. This can be effectively accomplished by removing the excess breast tissue usually combining with liposuction. This technique can restore your masculine appearance and instantly boost your self-esteem.
