Gynecomastia, commonly known as male breast enlargement, is a condition that affects many men and teenage boys. While it is usually not a serious medical issue, it can cause physical discomfort and emotional distress. At Dr. Rami Hamed Center (DRHC) in Dubai, we offer comprehensive gynecomastia treatment, including expert evaluation, medical management, and advanced minimally invasive male breast reduction surgery.
Understanding Gynecomastia
Gynecomastia occurs when there is an increase in the glandular tissue of the male breast, often due to a hormonal imbalance between testosterone and estrogen. It can appear in one or both breasts and varies in severity. There are generally two types:
- Pubertal Gynecomastia: Develops during teenage years due to natural hormonal changes.
- Adult Gynecomastia: Occurs after puberty and may be related to hormones, medications, obesity, or unknown causes.
Best Age to Treat Gynecomastia
The ideal age for gynecomastia treatment depends on the type and cause of the condition:
1. Pubertal Gynecomastia (13β18 years)
During puberty, up to 70% of boys may experience temporary male breast enlargement. In most cases, the condition resolves naturally within 6β24 months as hormones stabilize.
Treatment approach:
- Observation and reassurance
- Lifestyle adjustments, including regular exercise and a healthy diet
- Surgery is rarely recommended unless there is severe psychological distress or significant asymmetry
2. Adult Gynecomastia (18+ years)
In adult men, gynecomastia is less likely to resolve on its own. Surgical treatment becomes the most effective option once breast development has stabilized.
Treatment approach:
- Male breast reduction surgery using minimally invasive techniques (liposuction, gland excision, or combination)
- Personalized consultation to ensure natural-looking results
- Support for emotional and psychological well-being
