Estrogen vs testoste: It really is the balance between estrogen and testosterone. This can be altered by a variety of different conditions effecting the organs (testicles, liver, kidney, thyroid, testicles) as well as drug interactions and body weight. The traditional method of treatment is excision although liposuction and/or medical treatment are emerging options.

Excision&Liposuction: Estrogen grows breast tissue, low testosterone in relation to estrogen will too. Causes of gynecomastia (man boobs), include obesity, pot, ace inhibitors, various other drugs, and phytoestrogens present in soy and processed foods. A combination of liposuction to the breast and surrounding area, & direct excision of breast tissue are necessary to insure a good result. Results, reviews of surgeons!
