HOW DO I TELL IF MY GYNECOMASTIA IS CAUSED BY FAT OR BREAST TISSUES?

  • Enlargement of the male breast  is most often a combination of both glandular tissue and extra fatty tissue. 
  • The breast gland tissue feels firmer than the fat, but you might not be able to tell the difference. 
  • An examination  by a Plastic Surgeon can usually differentiate this.
  • Imaging studies such as ultrasound, Xray or MRI can be done to confirm. But an Ultrasound study is simple and cheap and cen give good information
  • If you have a very lean body  with hardly any fat, with firm tissue directly behind the nipple/ areola  then chances are this is mostly breast gland tissue.
  • My first step in correcting this is to be to check if you are  near your ideal weight and rule out any medical issues that may be treatable without surgery. 
  • Medically reversible causes of gynecomastia are uncommon.
  • So the best treatment is surgery. Results from surgical management done by a Plastic Surgeon are highly successful and satisfying.

CAN MALE BREASTS GROW BACK AFTER GYNECOMASTIA SURGERY?

  • When the Gynecomastia is real gland tissue, and the excision is adequate there is nearly no chance that male breasts grow surgery.
  • When fatty tissue is involved, weight gain may or may not increase the breast size. Even if it does, it takes and time and can be less than usual
