There’s a condition that occurs in men known as gynecomastia, which affects the breasts and causes them to be enlarged. This can affect a person’s ability to feel comfortable in their body and is often because of lowered testosterone levels. It can happen at any age but can be dealt with. Dr. William Seare at Clinique Sculpture in Carlsbad, CA, and serving San Diego, CA, can explain how gynecomastia can be dealt with and how you can regain your confidence with this condition.

Treating Gynecomastia

Your doctor in San Diego and Carlsbad, CA, will first examine your chest and conduct testing to figure out the cause of your gynecomastia. Once the cause is determined, your doctor will be able to figure out a treatment plan that works best for you.

Often, gynecomastia can go away without treatment, and if the condition is being caused by an underlying issue, the underlying issue should be treated. Once that underlying issue is being dealt with, you should notice that your gynecomastia has reduced and you can begin to feel comfortable again.

If you’re struggling with feeling comfortable or find that your gynecomastia isn’t going away on its own, you may want to consider surgery to deal with it. Your doctor may recommend two types of surgery. You could either have liposuction to remove the breast fat or a mastectomy to remove the breast gland tissue. Your doctor can help you decide which will be best for you and will work best for your condition.
