Gynaecomastia is the increase of the glandular tissue of the male breast. Gynaecomastia is a health problem in men occurred due to hormonal imbalance. When a female hormone – estrogen is exceeded in the men than the male testosterone, the male breast is enlarged. In this condition, breast tissues become swollen which may cause discomfort in men about their breasts. This breast enlargement is not reduced by exercise or losing weight. Actually one should not confuse gynaecomastia with the extra fat on the breast due to being overweight or obese.

During diagnosis, your surgeon will evaluate the overall health to know the root cause of enlarged breasts. If the gynaecomastia is due to extra fat on your breast, the liposuction technique alone may be used. Excision techniques are used where the large glandular breast tissues are the reason behind gynaecomastia. Sometimes both the techniques are used in combination for better results. Some athletes & bodybuilders also face gynaecomastia due to the pro-testosterone supplements or rigorous exercise which increases the level of testosterone than normal. In this situation, the male body releases specific enzymes which in turn may increase other hormones causing breast enlargement in bodybuilders.
