Ladies, next time you are huffing and puffing on the elliptical trying to tone your troubled spots, remember you are not the only ones that have to deal with changes in your body and have to worry about a little extra jiggle. Believe it or not men too have trouble areas that they try to disguise, even if they don’t want to admit it! Most women would love to have a bit extra up top, but for a man it is a source of embarrassment.
Gynecomastia is something that over 40% of males deal with at some point in their lives whether it be in teenage years or later in life. It is an increase in breast tissue that literally means “woman breast”. The condition can be a sensitive issue for men of all ages. Adolescent males usually deal with this around the age of 14 for a period of 2-3 years before the estrogen hormones naturally regulate back to normal. In adult males, gynecomastia has been believed to be linked to the use of alcohol, supplements, medications and street drugs.
The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery states that nearly 17,000 male breast reduction procedures were performed in 2009, compared to half of that in 2007. Some doctors have found that there is a correlation between the increase in the condition and the increase in obesity and the decrease in physical activity. As men reach a certain age it becomes more important to maintain an active lifestyle to balance out all of those sandwiches. Right, Jack? But sometimes even exercise is not enough to reverse gynecomastia.
Here at our Orlando Plastic Surgery, Skin care and Hair Restoration Center, Dr. Armando Soto has helped many men regain a more masculine body through the surgical removal of the excess breast tissue. The surgical procedure combines the use liposuction and sometimes the excision of extra skin.
