Breast Procedure

Pre Operative Question Answer

What is the difference between gynecomastia and pseudogynecomastia?

Gynecomastia refers to the enlargement of glandular breast tissue in males, often caused by hormonal imbalances, while pseudogynecomastia refers to the accumulation of excess fat in the chest area. A thorough evaluation by a board-certified plastic surgeon specializing in gynecomastia can help determine the underlying cause of the chest enlargement and guide you in choosing the most appropriate treatment option, which may include liposuction, excision of glandular tissue, or a combination of both to achieve a more masculine chest contour.
