What is Gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia, also known as ‘gyno’, ‘man boobs’, ‘moobs’, or ‘male breast enlargement’, is the development of excess breast gland tissue in men. Here’s what you need to know about the condition and how you can get started on resolving the issue for yourself:
Hormonal Imbalance
Estrogen vs. Testosterone: One of the main gynecomastia causes is the imbalance between testosterone and estrogen. This can be due to an excess of estrogen, a lack of testosterone, or a combination of both.
Imbalance Causes: There can be a variety of causes behind this hormonal imbalance such as steroid use, medications, puberty, among others. In many cases, however, the reasons behind gynecomastia are unknown.
Excess Gland vs Fat
Excess Gland Tissue: When defining gynecomastia, excess gland tissue is the primary factor behind the condition. This is where there is an abnormal growth of glandular tissue in the male chest.
Excess Fatty Tissue: Often, men with gynecomastia also have excess fatty tissue in the chest area. When this is a standalone issue, it is called pseudogynecomastia. However, in many cases, both symptoms are present.
Surgery Insights
Removal of Gland Tissue (Excision): This procedure involves surgically removing the excess glandular tissue from the chest. By excising this tissue, the chest becomes flatter and achieves a more masculine contour.
Removal of Fatty Tissue (Liposuction): In this process, liposuction is performed to remove the excess fat from the chest area. This technique complements the gland removal, resulting in a smoother and more even chest appearance.
Personal Benefits
More Contoured Chest: The surgery sculpts a more traditionally masculine chest shape with improved chest aesthetics that can lead to a better overall body image.
Improved Self-Confidence: Beyond physical changes, the surgery can uplift your mood and enhance your quality of life by promoting a positive self-image. Many patients feel more confident and comfortable with their appearance post-surgery.
Gyno Overview

Gyno Causes
Hormonal imbalance, particularly between estrogen and testosterone, stands as one of the primary drivers behind male breasts.
Grades & Stages

Types of Gynecomastia
Adult Gynecomastia
Similar to many instances of enlarged male breasts, adult gynecomastia usually results from an imbalance between the hormones testosterone and estrogen.
Adolescent Gynecomastia
Throughout puberty in boys, shifts in the natural production of testosterone and estrogen can lead to the development of gynecomastia.
Bodybuilder Gynecomastia
The use of anabolic steroids or prohormones by bodybuilders can potentially lead to the development of gynecomastia. If the condition persists, surgical treatment can offer a long-term solution.
Gynecomastia Revision
Revision surgery for gynecomastia may be necessary for various reasons. Sometimes, the initial surgery may have been performed improperly, or complications during healing may have led to unsatisfactory results.
Pseudogynecomastia
In certain instances, male breast enlargement may not be primarily due to excess gland tissue but instead, it may be caused by an accumulation of excess adipose tissue. In such cases, liposuction can effectively address the issue.
Puffy Nipples
Puffy nipple, a subtype of gynecomastia, is the enlargement of nipples and the surrounding areolae. Though it may be less pronounced, it can still evoke considerable distress for individuals experiencing it.
Senior Gynecomastia
Gynecomastia can appear at any age, but it becomes more common among seniors due to a combination of factors such as hormonal shifts, medication usage, and age-related health conditions.
After Weight Loss
Gynecomastia, particularly noticeable in adult males, may occur after significant weight loss. In such cases, leftover excess skin and tissue can contribute to the appearance of enlarged breasts.
