3 signs it’s time to consider gynecomastia surgery
Feeling embarrassed about going shirtless at the pool, gym, or even in your own home? You’re not alone. Enlarged male breasts, or gynecomastia, can quickly break down confidence and even steal your joy in life.
At Bulan Plastic Surgery, renowned board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Erwin Bulan understands this struggle, and he’s dedicated to solving these challenges for men in and around Milburn, NJ.
With more than 20 years of specialized plastic surgery experience, Dr. Bulan is passionate about helping men reclaim a masculine, sculpted chest contour they feel proud of.
Many men wonder when it’s time to consider surgery for gynecomastia. Today’s blog discusses three signs that might point you down the surgery path.
You’re Upset About Your Chest Appearance
Do you skip activities that would expose your chest, avoid snug-fitting shirts, and hide your body under bulky clothes? Feeling embarrassed or ashamed of your chest can take a toll on your mental health.
These are all signs that it’s time to consider a solution to correct the root cause of your discomfort and embarrassment. With gynecomastia surgery, Dr. Bulan removes excess breast tissue (glandular tissue, skin, or fat deposits, depending on your needs) and reshapes your chest. This surgery can help transform embarrassment into pride.
You’ve Tried Everything Else – Nothing Works
Sometimes, no matter how much effort you put into diet and exercise, your body may not respond as you’d hoped. Gynecomastia is caused by hormonal imbalances (by far the most common cause,) genetics, or certain medications — and it often won’t improve through lifestyle changes.
That’s why surgery is often the ideal solution. It can remove extra tissue and help you achieve the masculine chest contour you’re meant to have. You’ll have long-lasting results with close attention to lifestyle changes, including clean eating and regular exercise.
You’re Experiencing Physical Issues
Many men think of gynecomastia mainly in terms of the emotional toll, but it can cause physical issues, too. The weight of extra breast tissue can feel quite heavy and uncomfortable on the chest. Chafing and skin irritation are both common when breasts are large.
Some men may try to bind their breasts, minimizing their appearance, but constant binding can lead to chest pain and other physical problems.
If you’re struggling with any of these physical effects of gynecomastia, surgery can set you free.
