Gynecomastia or men’s boobs is a condition in which there is a presence of excess or enlarged tissue that mimics the appearance of female breasts, and is most commonly found in young teenagers and older men. This condition is caused mostly due to hormonal imbalance or an accumulation of fatty tissue in the chest area.
Gynecomastia can affect a large percentage of the male population throughout life and men with enlarged breast tissue may seek treatment to reduce the size of their chest. Gynecomastia surgery or male breast reduction surgery is a liposuction technique that is performed by Dr. Mrinalini Sharma, Male Breast Reduction Surgeon in Delhi at Aestiva Clinic to combat excessive breast development in the male chest area. When gynecomastia first begins, breast pain can be unexpected. A chunk of fatty tissue may be the first sign of gynecomastia. The lump may feel delicate to touch as the swelling continues, but the sensitivity usually de-escalates. These lumps sometimes disappear over time but can also continue to grow, resulting in a very woman-like look to the male upper body, and sometimes even with diet and exercise, it never disappears. Gynecomastia surgery is one of the most familiar non-medical procedures for men. The overall result is to provide a more sculpted breast and chest area.
Gynecomastia only deals with the enlargement of the male breasts but there are grading systems designed to classify the various degrees of the condition such as:
Grade I – Slight enlargement without the excess breast tissue (less than 250 grams of breast tissue)
Grade IIa – Mild enlargement without extra skin (250-500 grams of breast tissue)
Grade IIb – Mild enlargement with minor excess skin (250-500 grams of breast tissue)
Grade III – Drastic enlargement (more than 500 grams of breast tissue) with grade I sagging
Grade IV – Sharp enlargement with grade II or grade III sagging.
