A member asked:
Are 'male boobs' preventable?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: "male boobs" or gynecomastia can be caused by hormonal imbalances, medications, or be of genetic origin. If they are extremely bothersome, they can be treated through liposuction, or even a male breast reduction. However, most often, men develop some extra breast tissue as they age which is of little consequence to them.Consult an experienced plastic surgeon if you are at all worried.
