Gynecomastia Background
Gynecomastia is a medical condition characterized by the enlargement of male breast tissue. It can affect one or both breasts, and while it’s not typically a serious health concern, it can cause physical discomfort and emotional distress. Gynecomastia occurs when there is an imbalance of hormones, particularly an increase in estrogen or a decrease in testosterone, which leads to the growth of glandular tissue in the male chest.
What Causes Gynecomastia?
Several factors can contribute to the development of gynecomastia. Hormonal imbalances, particularly involving estrogen and testosterone, are the primary cause. Other factors include the use of certain medications, anabolic steroids, medical conditions such as liver or kidney disease, and lifestyle factors like drug or alcohol use. In some cases, gynecomastia may develop during puberty or as a result of aging, with no specific cause identified.

Gynecomastia Stages
Gynecomastia is classified into stages based on the severity of the condition:
Stage 1
Mild enlargement with minimal excess tissue and no skin sagging.
Stage 2
Moderate enlargement with more noticeable tissue growth but no significant skin sagging.
Stage 3
Significant enlargement with excess tissue and mild skin sagging.
Stage 4
Severe enlargement with a large amount of tissue and noticeable skin sagging.
Each stage may require a different surgical approach, from simple liposuction to more complex procedures involving skin removal.

Pseudogynecomastia
Pseudogynecomastia refers to the appearance of enlarged male breasts due to excess fat rather than glandular tissue. While it may resemble gynecomastia, the underlying cause is different. Liposuction is often the most effective treatment for pseudogynecomastia, as it targets fat deposits without the need for gland removal.
