What Causes Gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia is usually caused by a hormonal imbalance between estrogen and testosterone. Other contributing factors may include:
- Weight gain or obesity
- Puberty or aging
- Certain medications or steroids
- Anabolic steroid use
- Genetics or underlying health conditions
It’s important to differentiate true gynecomastia (excess glandular tissue) from pseudogynecomastia, which is caused by excess fat. Dr. Yugueros will assess this during your consultation to determine the most effective treatment.
Ideal Candidates for Male Breast Reduction
You may be a good candidate for gynecomastia surgery if:
- You have persistent, excess breast tissue that hasn’t improved with diet or exercise
- You are in good general health and a stable weight
- You are a non-smoker or willing to stop before and after surgery
- You are bothered by the appearance of your chest and seek a permanent solution
Your Personalized Treatment Plan
At Luna Plastic Surgery, Dr. Yugueros will develop a customized surgical plan, which may include:
- Liposuction to remove excess fatty tissue
- Excision to remove glandular tissue or excess skin
- A combination of both, depending on your anatomy
All procedures are performed in our state-of-the-art surgical facility or at Emory Johns Creek Hospital, where Dr. Yugueros serves as Chief of Plastic Surgery.
