Male breast reduction Beverly Hills, also known as gynecomastia, is the surgical correction of over-developed breasts in men.

According to the American Academy of Family Physicians, up to 65% of men 14-years old have enlarged breasts. This condition is due in great part to the fluctuations in sex hormones that occur during puberty. In most of these cases the excess breast tissue disappears within 3 years without treatment. Enlargement typically occurs on both sides of the chest. If the enlargement is only on one side and is hard, then you should contact your primary physician immediately to rule out the possibility of male breast cancer. Gynecomastia in older men is usually a result of decreasing levels of testosterone, a male sex hormone that diminishes with advanced aging. Men can also experience an increase in body fat with age and a resultant rise in ratio of estrogen (female sex hormones) to androgens (male sex hormones).

The best candidates for a male breast reduction will have firm, elastic skin that can reshape to the body’s new contours.
