Man Boobs (Gynaecomastia) – Sydney & Canberra

Get rid of “Man Boobs” with Gynaecomastia treatment. Talk to the team at Cosmos Clinic for a caring and understanding approach to male breast reduction…

Commonly known as “Man Boobs”, it is more specifically known by the medical name Gynaecomastia. In women female breast growth is stimulated by oestrogen, in men it is stimulated by testosterone. Men develop gynaecomastia due to their system producing more oestrogen than testosterone which creates Man Boobs.

Causes of Gynaecomastia

At certain points in life a man’s breasts will be larger than at other times. The causes of these fluctuations are many from genetics to nutrition and more but generally result in either:

  • An excess of fatty tissue – more suited to Liposuction
  • An excess of glandular tissue – more suited to Surgery

If your breasts are mainly due to excessive fatty tissue then you will most likely be most suitable for Liquid Liposuction which is designed to reduce downtime and produce minimal scaring.

Man Boobs Before After

If however your breasts are large due to glandular tissue then your Breast Reduction will most likely be performed with a traditional surgical approach outlined below.

The Difference Between Gynaecomastia And Man Boobs?

The two terms are actually interrelated and involve the accumulation of fat and tissue in the breast area. With true Gynaecomastia, where there is just tissue, you will be able to feel a hard lump.

Gynaecomastia, or Man Boobs, is a common condition affecting many males in today’s society. Gynaecomastia is usually caused by an underlying imbalance between the male and female hormones.

An examination of your chest to determine the consistency of the chest tissue by your doctor or Plastic Surgeon will determine whether your problem is due to excess glandular tissue development or excess fat.
