Have you heard about the adult gynecomastia treatment?
More than 30 per cent of Indian males deal with a condition called Adult Gynecomastia, where adult males develop oversized breasts or what is called as ‘puffy chest’. Although gynecomastia is often observed in adolescent boys or teenagers or sometimes in newborn babies, adult males undergo this condition but prefer to hide it.
So, Gynecomastia is quite common in mid-aged males but it is associated as an abnormal physical state as it also hampers the mental state of that respective male. It makes them extremely conscious about themselves, their identity and at times affects their behaviour as well. Hormonal imbalance, drug therapy, serious diseases, metabolic disorders, excessive weight gain, and other unknown reasons can lead to a development of male breasts.
Adults often experience pain in the chest area, sore nipples and overall physical discomfort and mental disturbance while or after the development of male moobs. If you are the one facing these kinds of issues, then it is prudent for you to get yourself checked by a skilled gynecomastia doctor. Before choosing the adult gynecomastia surgery, make sure you discuss you requirements and concerns with your gynecomastia surgeon in order to have a hassle-free experience.

At times, a combination of both surgeries may be required to treat Adult Gynecomastia.
