Gynecomastia Treatment in Nashville

Gynecomastia, a condition characterized by enlarged male breast tissue, can often cause discomfort, self-consciousness, and emotional distress. Fortunately, a range of effective treatment options can help restore a more traditionally masculine chest contour and improve self-confidence. Depending on individual circumstances, solutions may include noninvasive measures, such as dietary changes and exercise, medical therapy to address underlying hormonal imbalances, and surgical interventions like liposuction or glandular excision.

Is Gynecomastia Treatment Right for Me?

While male breast reduction surgery at Nashville Plastic Surgery Institute is a viable option that can successfully treat the issue, doctors rarely recommend it for young men under the age of 18.

There are other steps parents can take to help their sons overcome the issue. Most surgeons discourage breast reduction surgery for boys under the age of 18 because of the hormonal changes that happen throughout the teenage years. During these peak puberty years, it’s not uncommon for boys to struggle with a variety of body issues that they’ll outgrow as they approach adulthood. Many young men who suffer from gynecomastia will see the condition disappear before their 18th birthday, so surgery before that age would be unnecessary.

Another reason for this benchmark age is that boys who have male breast reduction surgery before they turn 18 are much more likely to require a second surgery later in life after their bodies have further developed.

Addressing Adolescent Gynecomastia: Non-Surgical Approaches and When to Consider Surgery

Parents who want to help their sons overcome adolescent gynecomastia have a few other options to pursue before considering surgery. First, they should evaluate their son’s weight and level of physical fitness. Being overweight not only negatively impacts health in numerous ways, but it can also be the culprit behind oversized male breasts. By teaching their sons to stay active and eat a healthy diet, parents may uncover a natural, non-invasive solution to the problem. Parents can also see a medical professional to evaluate their sons’ hormone levels and ensure there are no chemical imbalances causing the problem.

As adults, men who struggle with oversized breasts will most commonly need to undergo surgery to treat the problem. Teenage boys, on the other hand, will often overcome the issue naturally as their bodies grow and develop. If parents are concerned about their sons’ physical or mental well being, they should speak with a medical professional and discuss the options available for their child’s age range.
