Gynaecomastia is the latest topic of discussion in our latest medical article here. Below, distinguished consultant plastic surgeon, Mr Deemesh Oudit, talks to us about the condition that can severely affect a man’s self-esteem.

What is gynaecomastia?

Gynaecomastia is a condition where breast tissue in males becomes enlarged. The appearance of gynaecomastia is similar to that of the appearance of female breasts, and so many men feel uncomfortable with their appearance if they suffer from the condition.

 

Is gynaecomastia a serious condition or something to worry about?

Gynaecomastia is not normally a threat to one’s physical health, but the condition can really affect a man's self-esteem, body image, and sense of masculinity. The stigma associated with having enlarged breasts all too often leads to feelings of shame, embarrassment, and social anxiety and withdrawal altogether.

 

How can gynaecomastia be treated or corrected?

Surgical interventions such as liposuction and gland excision are the most common surgical approaches implemented when it comes to correcting gynaecomastia. These procedures aim to remove excess breast tissue and sculpt the chest for a more masculine contour.

 

What are the general outcomes after gynaecomastia-correcting surgery?

While surgery carries inherent risks and requires careful consideration, many individuals are very satisfied with the outcomes, experiencing a renewed sense of confidence and well-being.

 

There are, unfortunately, some risks associated with surgery to correct gynaecomastia. These include infection, bleeding, and scarring.
