Gynecomastia Surgery
Gynecomastia surgery treats bulging or unsightly male breasts, which is often caused by hormonal imbalances. Unlike simple obesity, this condition can involve excessive growth of mammary gland tissue that doesn’t diminish with calorie consumption.
Enlarged Male Breasts Due to Obesity: In instances of simple obesity, addressing fat accumulation can be challenging but manageable through exercise and diet control.
