Suction and removal: Of breast tissue. In my hands, this operation involves ultrasonic-assisted liposuction to remove and contour the fatty component of the breast enlargement. There is generally a small amount of breast tissue that needs direct excision. All can usually be done through a very small incision around the border of the areola. Of breast tissue.

Surgery: Just checked into noninvasive modalities & none are approved yet. In my opinion the best treatment is slim lipo wh is laser- enhanced liposuction. The fibrous & glandular nature of the tissue can require use of at least a small incision to remove some of the tissue by conventional means.

Muscle/fat/breast: What part of the breast do you want to enlarge: the fat, the muscle or the actual breast tissue. Fat is increased by weight gain. There are no muscle building pulls but Anabolic steroids will promote muscle growth with exercise and has many adverse side effects including promotion of breast tissue. Any pill with estrogen like effects or testosterone blocking are likely to promote breast growth.

Several conditions : Of course genetics play the greatest role. The incidence has been cited as effecting anywhere from 30-70% of males followed by resolution in nearly 80% after 2 years. The risk is increased in males who are obese or may be taking medications which effect their estrogen to testosterone ratios such as marijuana, spironolactone, steroids, prostate cancers medications, cimetidine, etc.

Speak to your primary care physician about your concerns and you might also consult with a board certified plastic surgeon about gynecomastia surgery if it bothers you.
