Gynecomastia, commonly known as “man boobs,” is a medical condition where men develop excess breast tissue. This condition can affect males at any age and is often resistant to diet and exercise. If you are experiencing enlarged male breasts that affect your confidence or comfort, male breast reduction surgery in Los Angeles offers a safe, effective, and lasting solution.

What Is Gynecomastia?

Gynecomastia is the abnormal growth of breast tissue in males. This condition affects nearly 30% of men at some point in their lives. It can occur due to a variety of causes, including hormonal changes, medications, certain medical conditions, and lifestyle factors. In many cases, it leads to emotional distress, physical discomfort, and self-consciousness.

What Causes Gynecomastia?

🔸 Hormonal Imbalances

• Elevated estrogen or decreased testosterone levels are common causes.
• Hormonal shifts can happen naturally during puberty or aging.

🔸 Obesity

• Excess fat in the chest area contributes to breast enlargement.
• Obesity can also disrupt hormone regulation, further worsening gynecomastia.

🔸 Medications and Substances

Several medications and substances are known to trigger gynecomastia:

• Anti-androgens (for prostate issues)
• HIV treatment medications
• Certain antibiotics
• Tranquilizers like diazepam
• Heart medications (e.g., calcium channel blockers)
• Recreational drugs such as marijuana and alcohol

🔸 Other Contributing Conditions

• Liver disease and thyroid dysfunction can affect hormone processing
• Genetic disorders like Klinefelter syndrome
• Substance abuse, including steroids and opioids

Understanding the root cause of gynecomastia is essential for selecting the best treatment plan.

What Is Gynecomastia Surgery?

Gynecomastia surgery, or male breast reduction, is a cosmetic procedure that removes excess fat, glandular tissue, and sometimes skin to create a flatter, more masculine chest. It can also adjust the size and position of the areolas for a more symmetrical, contoured appearance.

This outpatient surgery typically involves liposuction, excision, or a combination of both, depending on the severity of the condition and individual anatomy. Most patients return home the same day and enjoy long-lasting results.
