What is Gynecomastia?

Gynecomastia, often called man boobs, occurs when breast gland tissue grows in boys or men due to an imbalance in oestrogen and testosterone hormones. One or both breasts can be affected by gynecomastia.

Understand the Causes of Gynecomastia

Usually, when there's an imbalance in the levels of the female hormone oestrogen and the male hormone testosterone in a man's body, it can lead to the growth of breast tissue. Both these hormones are naturally found in males. The size of a man's breasts might increase due to shifts in how the body uses or responds to these hormones, including changes in their levels. Gynecomastia occurs when oestrogen levels go up and testosterone levels decrease, often for some unknown reason.

Another common reason for gynecomastia is obesity or carrying too much body weight. Having extra weight can result in higher levels of oestrogen in males, leading to the growth of breast tissue. Additionally, men who are overweight are prone to accumulating excess fat, which enlarges the breast tissue.

Sometimes, newborn boys can have slightly bigger breasts. This happens because they are exposed to their mother's oestrogen. These larger breasts, called breast buds, are seen in around 50% of baby boys. They might stick around for a while, but usually go away within two to six months.

During puberty, hormone levels in boys can fluctuate. If testosterone drops and oestrogen increases, it might cause breast tissue to grow. That's why some teenage boys might experience breast enlargement to a certain extent. As growth continues and hormone levels stabilise, teenage gynecomastia typically goes away.

As men age, they produce less testosterone and accumulate more body fat. This leads to an increased production of oestrogen, which causes gynecomastia.
  • Hormone levels change due to lower testosterone and higher oestrogen.
  • Being overweight can raise oestrogen, promoting breast tissue growth.
  • Newborns exposed to maternal oestrogen may develop breasts.
  • Hormone levels can vary during puberty.
  • Testosterone decreases as age increases.
  • Some medications have side effects.

Different Grades of Gynecomastia

Medical grade assessment icon
Grade l

In this grade, there's a slight increase in breast size. A small button of tissue develops around the areola. There's not much swelling and it's not noticeable under clothing.

Medical grade assessment icon
Grade ll

At this grade, male breast tissue enlarges to fill the width of the chest. Even when the tissue mostly covers the pectoral muscles, the edges are still not very visible.

Medical grade assessment icon
Grade lll

In this moderate stage of breast growth, the breast tissues are easily seen through clothing. The extra skin becomes more prominent, and the breasts also become firmer.

Grade lV

Breast development is almost complete at this stage. It's the most severe level with a lot of extra skin, which can affect daily activities.

Our Experts Explain

What happens when Gynecomastia is left untreated
questioning-img
If left untreated, gynecomastia can affect both the physical and mental well-being of a patient. It's important to note that gynecomastia might not resolve naturally. Seeking help from a cosmetic surgeon to enhance your chest's appearance could offer significant emotional and social benefits, especially if your self-confidence is hindered by the way your chest looks and feels.

Continuous growth of the breasts can lead to chronic back pain due to the strain on the back muscles, which might not have sufficient strength to hold it.

If breast expansion continues, it can lead to spinal issues and unusual sitting and standing positions.

Many men feel unsure and uneasy about their mental well-being due to their physical appearance, leading to depression and social anxiety as a consequence.

Types of Gynecomastia Surgeries
Benefits of Gynecomastia Surgery
Recommendations after gynecomastia surgery
At times, especially in young people, swollen breasts tend to resolve naturally as hormones balance out. Yet, if this concern persists into adulthood, the sole option for treatment is surgery, referred to as gynecomastia surgery or male breast reduction surgery. Prior to technological advancements, the only way to eliminate fatty tissues was through open gynecomastia surgery. This method had risks because it involved significant invasions and incisions. However, contemporary gynecomastia surgeons in Chennai now prefer one or both of the following approaches: Liposuction: This is a highly advanced method for treating gynecomastia. It involves using a long, thin needle called a cannula, which is inserted through a small incision near the nipple-areolar complex. This needle suctions out fat to reduce the condition. Various types of liposuction exist, like laser or vaser (a technique combining liposuction with ultrasound), depending on the approach used. Gland Excision: A small incision is made around the nipple's areolar region, through which a scalpel is inserted to remove fatty tissues during gland excision in gynecomastia surgery. The incision is sealed after the surgery and naturally closes in two to three days. This surgical method is commonly chosen when fatty tissues have turned into glands and cannot be easily suctioned out.

Swollen breasts can affect how guys look and make many of them feel less sure of themselves. Even though they try to exercise, it usually doesn't fix this issue. A doctor in Chennai who deals with gynecomastia says that surgery is the only way to really get rid of this problem and have a great-looking male physique. Here are some other benefits of getting gynecomastia treatment in Chennai: Self Improvement : Gynecomastia brings several negative effects, including mental trauma due to emotional distress. Gynecomastia surgery offers a way to reshape the body and boost self-assurance. Decreases back pain : When breasts grow larger, they press on the back muscles, leading to intense backache. As gynecomastia worsens, the spine can deform and have lasting damage. Treating gynecomastia helps lessen back pain and lowers the chance of spinal issues. Numerous clothing possibilities : Because of fitting problems, many with gynecomastia don't shop much and have limited clothing options. But with gynecomastia therapy, people can comfortably wear better-fitting clothes and feel more comfortable. Furthermore, only one day of dressing is needed because there are sores that need to heal. The healing process at the gynecomastia surgery site is accelerated by laser energy as well. It just takes a few days to recuperate from laser surgery for gynecomastia. Recovery Duration : Choosing cost-effective and modern and advanced methods ensures a safe, easy, and fast recovery for gynecomastia treatment. While slight bruising and swelling might appear in the initial days post-surgery, there is instant relief from pain. This naturally diminishes as the body undergoes healing. Normal daily activities can be resumed the next day, while desk jobs can recommence after three days.
  • In a week, you can do light cardio and exercises that don't use your chest muscles. This helps keep them in shape.
  • After two weeks, once you've seen your gynecomastia doctor, you can start weightlifting and intense exercises again.
  • It usually takes 6 to 8 weeks for your body to fully recover, and you can go back to most activities after talking to your gynecomastia surgeon.
  • Following all instructions from your gynecomastia surgeon before and after the surgery is important for a complete recovery.

To ensure a safe and speedy recovery while avoiding issues, it's important to follow the suggestions of your surgeon. They will give you thorough and secure guidance before and after your surgery, covering your diet, activities, exercises, and medications. Here are a few tips to follow after gynecomastia surgery:
  • Rest for 1 to 2 days before going back to work and your usual routine.
  • Avoid strenuous activities that might raise your blood pressure for the first 2 weeks after surgery.
  • Wait for 2 weeks before doing cardio and lower body exercises.
  • Only restart upper body and chest workouts a month after the gynecomastia procedure, unless your gynecomastia doctor advises differently.

I was advised by my physician for a circumcision for hygienic reasons as well as certain urinary problems. I found out about Mykare Health from Instagram and at first I was a bit sceptical about approaching them as I have never before availed such consultancy services, especially for a medical purpose. Anyway, with a lot of reservations in mind, I decided to take the help of Mykare Health Team. From day one including scheduling the surgery, processing the insurance related paperworks, doctor's appointments etc to the day I got discharged, as well as the follow-up medical checkups later, I have to say the whole experience was totally overwhelming. Mykare representative Ms. Greashma did a commendable job in walking me through the entire journey and, at times, she even went above and beyond her call of duty to address our concerns in a very professional manner and thankfully the entire process was smooth and hassle-free, thanks to her unwavering commitment to the task at hand. Thank you Mykare Health Team for the amazing experience. Keep this going. Kudos. 👍
