Yes, Adonis sure had it all. A lean athletic body, broad shoulders, abs to die for, narrow hips, slender thighs and a wonderful chest to go with it all. If this ancient embodiment of masculine beauty would have lived to reach his old age, would he have had gynecomastia? It certainly would have added another tragic twist to his already tragic life. Studies have shown that 30% to 60% of adult men are potential candidates for gynecomastia, which is actually an excessive growth of breast tissue.
While Adonis-like perfection might not be the ideal of most men, such an unattractive condition like gynecomastia is surely not on most men's 'perfect body' list. Plastic surgery, with its variety of body improving and enhancing options, has a remedy for this condition as well.
Gynecomastia is usually the result of being overweight. If excess fat is the only reason for this condition, then doctors recommend a weight loss plan to be followed by the patient. However, if there is an abnormal growth of glandular tissue, then a plastic surgery can be considered.
A fourth of gynecomastia cases are due to medications like hormone supplements, blood pressure drugs, or diuretics that are known to increase estrogen levels or block male hormones. Some other causes are linked to the production of estrogen which can be due to excess fat. More serious reasons of gynecomastia include tumors that affect hormone-producing glands.
Whatever be the cause of your condition, the Plastic Surgery Institute of California has a cure for gynecomastia. To learn more of our services, visit us online or at any of our facilities at Beverly Hills, Newport Beach, Pasadena, San Diego and Huntington Beach.
