Gynecomastia: What is it?

Gynecomastia is a swelling of breast tissue in boys and men. It can happen when the balance of two hormones in your body is disrupted.

Gynecomastia Tunisia Indications

Although breasts do not develop in men as they do in women, all boys are born with a small amount of breast tissue.
Boys' bodies primarily produce a hormone called testosterone, which guides their sexual growth during puberty. But men also produce estrogen - the hormone that regulates sexual growth in girls.
When a boy goes through puberty, or when an older man's body makes less testosterone, the balance of the two hormones changes.
Sometimes when this happens, a higher percentage of estrogen causes the male breast tissue to swell. About half of teenagers and up to two-thirds of men over 50 will experience some degree of this.

Gynecomastia Tunisia: breast reduction in men

The breast consists of glandular tissue, which is firm and dense, and fat tissue, which is soft.

  • Liposuction can remove excess adipose tissue. It involves inserting a small tube through a 3 to 4 mm incision.
  • Excision means cutting tissue with a scalpel to remove excess glandular tissue. This will normally leave a scar on the edge of the nipple.
  • In some cases, excision and liposuction will be used.
