Gynecomastia Reduction, or Male Breast Reduction, is one of the most common cosmetic plastic surgery procedures.
When Do Man Boobs Happen?
Man Boobs can affect men at every stage of life. All men are all born with them, due to the effects or maternal estrogen on the male breasts. This usually resolves in a few months, but can persist. The most common timing of Gynecomastia is during adolescence. With puberty comes hormone surges that can lead to Male Breast Development. The problem impacts about two-thirds of young men. For half these men, the swelling resolves over a year or two. For about one third of men, the breast tissue persists, and can become tender, annoying and embarrassing. Some men will not develop Moobs (Man Boobs) until later in life, and often as a side-effect of medications.
Gynecomastia Treatment
There are several ways to treat Gynecomastia, because it can present in different forms. The Gynecomastia Reduction Video below provides several examples of Gynecomastia Before and After Pictures and a narrative for perspective. This KRON 4 television segment is from Body Beautiful and supplements the information that can be found here on the San Francisco Plastic Surgery Blog and my other web sites. While I hope you find the information useful, it cannot substitute for an in-person consultation with a qualified and experienced Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.
