90% of adolescent boys will develop male breast enlargement to one extent or another. And though it frequently resolves, it still persists in a great many men as they grow into adulthood. Gynecomastia really should not be viewed as being something abnormal, but rather something that is common, albeit undesirable. The good news is that it is very treatable.
It is undesirable because it makes men reluctant to take their shirt off at the beach. Some wear two shirts everyday just to conceal it. Even thin men who work out regularly at the gym and otherwise have put the effort into developing bodies that would look good in tight shirts and sweaters cannot do so. Gynecomastia can make men who are just a few pounds overweight look much heavier than they really are.
Whether lounging around the beach or a pool, hanging out in jeans and a t-shirt, trying to fit nicely into a suit, or simply taking their shirt off, sufferers of gynecomastia wish it would go away.
In the past, gynecomastia surgery was mostly done on teenage boys sent to plastic surgeons by their pediatrician. Weightlifters that developed gynecomastia from steroid or supplement use learned about surgical options from reading muscle magazines or from trainers at the gym.
But in the past few years, the treatment of gynecomastia has finally become mainstream. It is not just the weightlifters and teenagers with the really bad cases seeking male chest reduction; it is the men in their 20s and 30s with just enough extra tissue in their chest for them not to look as good as they should. Why the sudden change? Quite simply, the answer is the Internet.
Unlike women who talk to one another about their breast augmentation or liposuction, men do not talk to one another about gynecomastia. They hide it under their clothes, and so even their best friends are often totally unaware. Once fixed with surgery, they go forward with their lives as if they never had it. But thanks to the Internet, men can now privately research words such as, "gynecomastia," "male breast reduction," "males breasts," "man boobs," "male chest reduction," etc., and learn that there is a very effective solution.
Insurance usually will not cover the treatment of gynecomastia, and if they do, it would usually not be for the full cost of the procedure. Each case is different; contact the office and our staff will discuss your situation with you. The office also offers financing for surgery.
