Gynecomastia presents itself as a noticeable enlargement of the breast tissue. It can affect one or both breasts and may occur unevenly. While it’s typically painless, some may experience tenderness or even pain in the breasts.
Gynecomastia is often linked to hormonal imbalances, specifically when estrogen levels are too high or out of balance with testosterone levels. Other causes can include certain medications, health conditions like hyperthyroidism or kidney failure, and lifestyle factors.
At Qazi Cosmetic Center, we believe in a thorough and careful diagnostic process. This may involve a physical exam, a review of medical history, and possibly additional tests like blood tests or imaging tests to rule out other conditions.
For many, the recommended treatment for gynecomastia is surgery. Our experienced surgical team specializes in procedures designed to reduce breast size and improve chest contours, supporting you throughout the journey—from the initial consultation to post-operative care. We utilize advanced liposuction techniques, as well as gland removal, and skin tightening with Renuvion.
Preventing gynecomastia can be challenging as it often relates to hormonal changes that are difficult to control. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, managing chronic conditions, and staying in contact with healthcare professionals can help manage risk factors.
What is gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia is a condition characterized by enlargement of the breast tissue in males, often linked to hormonal imbalances.
What causes gynecomastia?
The most common cause is hormonal imbalances, particularly an imbalance between estrogen and testosterone levels. Other causes can include certain medications, health conditions like hyperthyroidism or kidney failure, and lifestyle factors.
Can gynecomastia be caused by drugs?
Yes, certain drugs, including anabolic steroids, certain anti-anxiety medications, and some cancer treatments, can trigger gynecomastia.
Is gynecomastia surgery painful?
Gynecomastia surgery may cause some discomfort, but pain can usually be managed effectively with medication. Most patients describe the recovery process as uncomfortable rather than painful.
What is the recovery process after gynecomastia surgery?
Recovery time varies for each individual, but most patients can return to work after a week. Physical activities should be limited for the first few weeks following surgery.
Are the results of gynecomastia surgery permanent?
Yes, the results are generally permanent. However, significant weight gain, use of certain drugs, or hormonal imbalances can lead to a recurrence.
How can I prevent gynecomastia?
While hormonal changes causing gynecomastia can be challenging to control, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, managing chronic conditions, and regular check-ups can help manage risk factors.
Are there non-surgical treatments available for gynecomastia?
In some cases, gynecomastia can be managed with medication, particularly when it’s caused by hormonal imbalance. However, in cases where the breast gland tissue has grown, surgery is usually the most effective treatment.
