These days, a man with enlarged breasts is likely to endure embarrassment ridicule and social exclusion. The cause of this rarely discussed condition may be an imbalance of hormones, excess weight issues, the use of certain prescription medications and some cases have been linked to hormone treated foods such as chicken. Also Known as gynecomastia, the condition of enlarged breasts in men can be corrected through a plastic surgery procedure. The results of this procedure are aimed at providing a more contoured and natural looking chest.
During the male breast reduction surgery procedure, the excess fat is removed and , if needed, the skin around the breast is also trimmed. The amount of excess tissue and skin to be removed with be a determining factor in the surgeons approach and selection of technique. Liposuction techniques are generally used for this type of procedure, as liposuction allows for safe removal of larger amounts of fatty tissue. To remove an tissue that is thicker and more fibrous, the plastic surgeon will likely use surgical incisions These incisions are usually placed along the areola because the small scars from this surgery procedure are easily “camouflaged” and provide a nice natural appearance with the rest of the breast.

Los Angeles breast surgery isn’t performed solely on women. For a number of reasons, more men will develop gynecomastia than will not. 
Gynecomastia, at its root, is merely an abnormal enlargement of one or both of the breast areas on a male’s chest. Still, though “man boobs” aren’t necessarily threatening to physical health, they can be a source of self-consciousness that men who are so afflicted may be unwilling to discuss even with a doctor. Los Angeles plastic surgeon Steven Teitelbaum saw the need to provide men with a better way to privately learn more about their options, and one aspect of his efforts to fill that need took the form of a web site devoted expressly to gynecomastia treatment.

Men and women both endure dissatisfaction with their bodies from time to time. In fact, this is true even for breasts. Women may feel their breasts are too small, whereas if breasts appear at all on a man, they’re too big. The appropriate term for these ‘man-boobs’ is gynecomastia. Unlike women, however, who talk to each other about breast surgery, men just don’t discuss gynecomastia. Talking about your man-boobs, even with friends, much less a doctor, is an embarrassment.
To help men learn about and consider gynecomastia treatment options, Dr. Steven Teitelbaum of Santa Monica launched BeverlyHillsGynecomastia.com. The internet affords considerable anonymity, where a man can research his situation and his options in peace, without subjecting himself to embarrassing scrutiny.

There are many gynecomastia patients who are men that never lost the extra bit of puffiness they had on their chest while going through puberty. According to Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, Dr. Steven Teitelbaum who performs male breast reduction in Beverly Hills, these men often can’t see the outline of their pecs no matter if they are fit or work out. Other men that may have this problem may be a result of steroid use for weight lifting. These steroids are capable of causing rapid growth of breast tissue. For the men that weight lift, they can usually feel a very firm “marble” or “walnut.” There are many other men that suffer from “woman-like breasts” as a side-effect from various recreational or prescription drugs.

Like starting to shave, the lowering of one’s voice, or developing an Adam’s Apple, a flat and strong looking chest is seen as a sign of masculinity. For many men, a chest that looks even the slightest bit feminine can be humiliating. Many women seek breast augmentation because they say, “I look like a boy and just want to feel feminine.” Men will likely never make the opposite statement – likely because the words may be too hard to say – it is probably in the back of their minds. Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, Dr. Steven Teietelbaum, performs male breast reduction at his Beverly Hills male breast reduction surgery center. As shy as some flat-chested women are about men seeing their chest naked, they tend not to have the same level of shame or humiliation as do men with gynecomastia. It’s definitely common that men even with the mildest forms of gynecomastia will never want to take off their shirt, will wear loose clothing over a tight undershirt, and will likely spend time in front of a mirror seeing how they would look with a more masculine chest.

Gynecomastia is a medical term that comes from the Greek words for “women-like breasts.” Though this oddly named condition is rarely talked about, it’s actually quite common. Gynecomastia affects an estimated 40 to 60 percent of men. It may affect only one breast or both.

When male breast-reduction surgery is performed by a qualified plastic surgeon, complications are infrequent and usually minor. Nevertheless, as with any surgery, there are risks. These include infection, skin injury, excessive bleeding, adverse reaction to anesthesia, and excessive fluid loss or accumulation. The procedure may also result in noticeable scars, permanent pigment changes in the breast area, or slightly mismatched breasts or nipples. If asymmetry is significant, a second procedure may be performed to remove additional tissue.
The temporary effects of breast reduction include loss of breast sensation or numbness, which may last up to a year.
