Feeling self-conscious about excess breast tissue, commonly referred to as “man boobs,” is something many men experience. At Alonzo Cosmetic Surgery, we understand the sensitivity of this condition and are here to offer solutions grounded in safety and expertise.

Understanding Gynecomastia

Gynecomastia is the medical term for the development of larger breast gland tissue in men. It’s a condition influenced by factors like hormonal imbalances, obesity, and genetics. Understanding the root cause is the first step toward addressing it.

Safe Solutions to Consider

Before considering surgery, it’s important to explore all options. Lifestyle changes such as a balanced diet and regular exercise can significantly impact gynecomastia. Medications are also available for those whose condition is influenced by hormonal imbalance. However, when these measures are not enough, surgical options like liposuction or glandular tissue removal offer a more definitive solution.
