From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gynecomastia, or gynaecomastia, is the development of abnormally large mammary glands
in males resulting in breast enlargement, which can sometimes cause secretion of milk. The
term comes from the Greek gyne (oblique stem gynaik-) meaning "woman" and mastos meaning "breast". The condition can occur physiologically in neonates (due to female hormones from the
mother), in adolescence, and in the elderly. In adolescent boys the condition is often a source of distress, but for the large majority of boys whose pubertal gynecomastia is not due to obesity,
the breast development shrinks or disappears within a couple of years ^[1]. The causes of common gynecomastia remain uncertain, although it has generally been attributed to an imbalance of sex hormones or the tissue responsiveness to them; a root cause is rarely determined for individual
cases. Breast prominence can result from hypertrophy of breast tissue, chest adipose tissue and
skin, and is typically a combination. Breast prominence due solely to excessive adipose is often
termed pseudogynecomastia^[2] or sometimes lipomastia^[3].

Gynecomastia should be distinguished from work hypertrophy of the pectoralis muscles caused
by much exercise, e.g. swimming.

Male Breast Reduction - Podcast

 Source: American Society of Plastic Surgeons

Gynecomastia—a condition of over-developed or enlarged breasts in men—often causes emotional discomfort and can impair self-confidence. Some men even avoid certain physical activities and intimacy simply to hide their condition.

Advances in plastic surgery techniques allow for correction of gynecomastia through a procedure that reduces breast size and flattens and enhances the chest contours. Nearly 20,000 male breast reduction procedures were performed in 2006.

This procedure is a good option for patients who:

• Are physically healthy and of relatively normal weight
• Have realistic expectations
• Are not experiencing further breast development
• Are bothered by the feeling that their breasts are too large

In this podcast, listeners will hear ASPS Member Surgeon Michael Olding discussing the causes of gynecomastia and courses of treatment, as well as his patient, Matthew, describing how he coped with his condition before surgery and his post-surgical outlook on life.

This podcast contains musical excerpts from The Matthew Show.
