Types of Gynecomastia

Types of Gynecomastia

Gynecomastia, or male breasts are caused by excess tissue and gland formation. This is common among boys and men of all ages and occurs when there is an imbalance between the male hormone (testosterone) and the female hormone (estrogen). This stimulates the growth of excess breast tissue, resulting in an abnormal swelling of the area.

Gynecomastia often can be the source of embarrassment causing psychological distress to many men. Most men with the condition rarely, go shirtless, and most of the times tend to wear loose fitted shirts to cover the condition. But rather than living life worrying about the condition, one can treat the condition and be free from embarrassment and worry.

Gynecomastia is classified into 3 grades, with 1 being mild and 3 being severe. They are:

• Grade I: Small/minor breast enlargement without excess skin
• Grade IIa: Moderate breast enlargement without excess skin
• Grade IIb: Moderate breast enlargement with minor excess skin
• Grade III: Marked breast enlargement with excess skin, with appearance of female breast

Gynecomastia surgical procedures typically have a gentle recovery period with a slight feeling of soreness during the first three days, but pain is usually minimal. Most men find the doctor prescribed pain relievers sufficient.

A trim and contoured chest can be immediately seen after your procedure, with improved results as the postsurgical swelling subsides. The final physique will be fully apparent within three to six months.

Gynecomastia surgery gives permanent results, as long as the patient maintains a stable body weight and avoid using medications or drugs that affect the testosterone level.
