Gynecomastia Surgery
Gynecomastia or male breast enlargement that occurs in puberty often resolves on its own within a matter of months as hormone levels normalize. When the condition occurs in adulthood, it tends to persist. This is why: As men age, they tend to lose testosterone and gain weight. The former contributes to gynecomastia (which is actually defined as glandular tissue enlargement within the breasts), the latter to a related condition known as pseudo-gynecomastia, in which enlargement is caused by deposits of fatty tissue under the breasts, explains Jacobs. Moreover, scientists now know that fat cells produce small amounts of estrogen, which further fuels male breast enlargement.
