Why is gynecomastia surgery post-weight loss in demand?
Weight loss can have a significant influence on your health and happiness, as well as provide a profound sense of empowerment.
However, weight loss can, at times, make gynecomastia more visible, resulting in a loss of excitement for your weight loss accomplishments. Not to worry because a minor male breast reduction surgery or a Gynecomastia surgery can resolve the issue.
What happens in gynecomastia surgery?
Gynecomastia surgery aims at removing excess glandular, fibrous, and fatty tissues, and excess skin, to obtain a slimmer, more sculpted, masculine appearance. If you have lost a significant amount of weight and still have excess tissue in your chest, a gynecomastia surgery after weight loss can help you get rid of the same.
Why can't weight loss not resolve gynecomastia in males?
Being overweight does not cause gynecomastia. However, it might worsen the problem. Furthermore, a male chest that is too big may stand out more after losing weight. While pockets of persistent fat in the chest might contribute to gynecomastia, you may also have extra glandular and fibrous tissues, and especially unelastic skin. Weight loss, for these reasons, does not successfully reduce gynecomastia.
Hence, surgery is highly recommended.
