When Should You Consider Gynecomastia Surgery?

Gynecomastia is a condition that causes the enlargement of breast tissue in males. It can occur due to hormonal imbalances, certain medications, or other underlying health conditions. While gynecomastia is often harmless, it can cause significant emotional distress and self-consciousness for those who experience it.
At Emmett Plastic Surgery, Dr. Emmett understands the impact gynecomastia can have on a man’s confidence and self-esteem. She offers gynecomastia surgery as a safe and effective solution to reduce excess breast tissue and create a more masculine chest contour.

When To Consider Gynecomastia Surgery

If you are experiencing any of the following, it may be time to consider gynecomastia surgery:

• Persistent gynecomastia: If your gynecomastia has persisted for more than a year or has not responded to lifestyle changes or medication, surgery may be the best option to address the issue.
• Emotional distress: If you feel self-conscious or embarrassed about your enlarged breasts, gynecomastia surgery can help you regain your confidence and improve your quality of life.
• Physical discomfort: In some cases, gynecomastia can cause physical discomfort, such as tenderness or pain in the chest area. Surgery can alleviate these symptoms.
• Limitations in activities: If you find that your gynecomastia is limiting your ability to participate in physical activities or wear certain clothing styles, surgery can help you overcome these limitations.
• Stable body weight: It’s important to have a stable body weight before undergoing gynecomastia surgery, as significant weight fluctuations can affect the outcome of the procedure.
