Gynecomastia, or male breast enlargement, is a condition that affects more and more men these days. Gynecomastia typically occurs in early childhood, adolescence, or puberty. Dr. Parag Telang, a renowned cosmetic and plastic surgeon, known for offering the best gynecoamstia surgery in Dubai, explains that in some cases, it goes away on its own once the hormone levels are stable. Adult men can also experience gynecomastia, which often leads to eating disorders, anxiety, and depression symptoms. Gynecomastia surgery is a surgical procedure that effectively treats male breast enlargement caused by an imbalance in hormones.

Causes of Abnormal Male Breast Enlargement

The following are some typical causes of male chest deformities:

1. Hormonal Imbalance

The male body produces testosterone and estrogen. Adequate release of these hormones is necessary for an idle male physique. Usually, an ideal male body releases testosterone at a higher level and estrogen at a very minimal level. However, due to various undefined reasons, this proportion gets disturbed, and excessive release of estrogen starts pasting excessive fat tissues on the male chest. It returns to male chest deformities.

2. Obesity

Weight gain is one of the most common reasons for abnormal male chest enlargement. Excessive weight gain causes a change in diet, or hormonal imbalances produce excessive estrogen, which turns into gynecomastia.

3. Placenta Transmission 

Excessive transmission of estrogen through the placenta leads to gynecomastia in newborn babies. Most often, gynecomastia in infants is short-term, but sometimes it increases with the kid's age.

4. Puberty

Usually, the age between 13 and 16 years is considered the phase of puberty. During this phase of puberty, the secretion of adolescent-defining sex hormones is at its peak. Sometimes, a change in diet, stress, or weakened immune system balance of these hormones gets disturbed. As a result, a boy's body starts experiencing feminine breasts.

For men, having larger breasts can be detrimental to their confidence and self-esteem. Gynecomastia or male breast reduction surgery, is a procedure to remove excess glandular tissues or fat from a male’s chest. The surgery provides permanent results with minimal downtime.
