Gynecomastia is actually a fairly natural occurrence that usually represents an imbalance between estrogen and testosterone. More specifically, the body is producing too much estrogen relative to its testosterone. It is not at all uncommon in newborn babies and can happen again during puberty. In these cases, it usually goes away on its own after a few months. In middle-aged or older men, other measures may be required to treat it.
There are two main options at Illuminate Plastic Surgery for excess male breast tissue, or gynecomastia. In many cases, a combination of these two treatments is used.
You will have about 7-10 days of recovery time, after which you will begin to appreciate your new chest. You will probably notice the reduction in size right away, and you will see the full effects after all the bandages have been removed. Following the procedure, you should expect your clothes to fit better, you will look better, you should experience less social anxiety and may have a noticeable boost in self-confidence.
