Man boobs surgery by Sydney gynecomastia surgeon, Dr Mark Kohout has helped many men overcome the embarrassment of abnormally large breast tissue.
Gynecomastia can be the result of an imbalance of male and female hormones – testosterone and estrogen, respectively. It can affect one or both breasts, developing as a disc-shaped mound of tissue under the nipples and the areolas – the dark-coloured skin surrounding the nipple.
Gynecomastia is often associated with substantial weight gain or the use of anabolic steroids or marijuana. Certain medications can also lead to male breast enlargement.
Dr Kohout’s male gynecomastia surgery clinic eliminates excess breast fat and glandular tissue, which leaves the chest firmer, flatter and better contoured, and ends the multiple social problems gynecomastia can cause.
Gynaecomastia is estimated to affect 40 percent to 60 percent of men, and the resulting unusually large breasts can make them so self-conscious that it impacts on their everyday life as they try to hide the problem beneath oversized shirts.
