Man boobs.
Gynecomastia. Male breasts. There are more embarrassing conditions that can lead to poor self-esteem and embarrassment in men. Acne, erectile dysfunction, bad breath, and offensive body odor may be a problem for other men, but the problem you want to get rid of is man boobs.
Right now the overriding issue that nags at you day and night is the saggy or puffy man breasts which would look a lot better on a woman and not on you.
The medical term for man boobs is gynecomastia.
The word has Greek origins, "gyne" meaning "woman" and "mastos" meaning "breast".
This condition is the enlargement of one, but more often both breasts in a male. It affects men of all ages and may occur after years of normal looking male breasts, or pectoral muscles.
If you are not happy with your appearance; you're not alone! Stand in a room full of men and you may be surprised to learn that three of every ten men are suffering from gynecomastia.
Yes, you are not alone.
One in every three men will be diagnosed with gynecomastia during their lifetime. Prominent breasts commonly occur in infants and during puberty. The condition is becoming more prevalent for middle-aged and older men.
There are two categorizations of gynecomastia and pseudo-gynecomastia. Pseudo-gynecomastia is described as fat deposits around the breast area of men with obesity.
Non-fat related gynecomastia arises from one or more conditions occurring within the body.
Some causes require attention from a medical professional such as tumors and hormonal imbalances.
Unlike gynecomastia which is predominantly hormonal based, pseudo-gynecomastia is directly related to diet and a sedentary lifestyle. You can bring about a positive change with the right kind of alkaline diet and exercises.
The cost for liposuction or surgery to reduce man boobs is usually out of reach for most men.
Reducing man boobs through surgery costs $3,000.00-$6,000 for the plastic surgeon, another $1-$2,000 for anesthesia fees and finally then $1-$2,000 for the hospital fee.
There isn’t one flat fee because each individual is different.
Mild male gynecomastia can sometimes be treated by liposuction alone. Moderate and severe male gynecomastia can be more extensive and more expensive procedures.
What may be a straight forward $5,000 procedure for one male may be more complex for another.
