Gynecomastia

Gynecomastia is a condition that is prevalent among 20 to 30% of adult males and 30 to 60% of adolescent males. Gynecomastia in Greek is defined by "female breasts" and usually means that the enlarged male breast will often consist of female glandular tissue.  According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeon, approximately 18,000 male breast reduction procedures were performed last year by board certified plastic surgeons. Of those, the breakdown of men affected by Gynecomastia condition is, as follows:

 

Adolescents: An adolescent severe gynecomastia condition may psychologically affect the adolescent and a surgical intervention may be found to be appropriate to avoid difficulty with the daily living activities. In order to make such an important decision about a surgery for children and adolescents, many aspects should be taken into consideration. 

 

Body Builders: Gynecomastia in body builders is usually found due to the use of anabolic steroids and is manifested as sub areola lumps .When it is not treated it may grow to be a very prominent and unnatural looking mass. This esthetic defect may be an impediment to the professional body builder by interfering with wining in body building competitions.     


Obese or Bariatric: Obese male patients that have lost weight as a result of diet or bariatric surgery will commonly have residual enlarged and saggy breasts that may be embarrassing and uncomfortable. Gynecomastia surgery can relieve these concerns.

 

Fitness has become increasingly more important to the adult population nowadays and increasing. Individuals are more conscious about looking and feeling fit. Surgical correction of large male breasts relieves concerns for many males today.  

 

Dr. Blau is highly skilled in the area of male gynecomastia. Patients travel from New york, New Jersey and Connecticut to receive the gynecomastia procedure from Dr. Blau.  The surgeon’s credentials are extremely important in the case of male gynecomastia.
