Gynaecomastia

All men possess some degree of breast tissue. However, when the amount of breast and chest fatty tissue becomes excessive, it can distort the typical contours of the male chest. In some instances, male breasts may even be comparable to a woman's C cup in size.

On occasion, this may be due to a hormonal imbalance, but in the majority of cases, no detectable abnormality is found through blood tests or clinical examinations.

After significant weight loss, it is common for individuals to experience a combination of excess skin and volume.

This condition can cause a considerable amount of embarrassment for men. Many avoid activities such as swimming and sunbathing to prevent having to remove their shirts. Older boys might even skip school rather than participate in physical education lessons if they are required to shower afterwards.

Unfortunately, no amount of exercise or diet can resolve the issue. However, through surgical intervention to remove the excess tissue, a normal appearance can be permanently restored.
