What doc can help me with my gynecomastia or self image problem?

Gynecomastia: Gynecomastia is a large male breast. You need a plastic surgeon.

Depends: Gynecomatia is physical breast development in a male and can lead to a psychological self-image problem. The gynecomastia should first be evaluated by your internist, family physician or endocrinologist for hormone imbalance or medication side effect. If none can be found then a plastic surgeon can remove the gynecomastia with a variety of operative techniques.

Plastic Surgeons.: The decision of whether or not to proceed with surgery to correct gynecomastia will ultimately be a very personal decision based on whether the enlarged breast gland causes physical and/or psychosocial “distress”. As always, patient should weigh the pros/cons associated with the procedure to determine whether to proceed or not. Consultation with board certified plastic surgeons may be helpful.
