1. Gynecomastia surgery and its stages
Gynecomastia surgery scars are the most talked about topic after surgery.it is a condition which
is seen in males that causes Male breast tissues swell due to reduced male hormones or
increased female hormones.
Stages of Gynecomastia.
There are various stages of Gynecomastia listed as below-
Grade 1 – Very Mild
The breast typically has a localized area of tissue behind the areola. Frequently referred to as “puffy
nipple.” Skin quality is generally very good. In most cases, only excess glandular tissue is present.
Grade 2- Mild to High
Moderate breast enlargement that goes beyond the areola with indistinct borders from the chest
area. May consist of fatty tissue, glandular tissue or a combination of both.
Grade 3 – High and Visible
The same as moderate breast enlargement, but skin redundancy is also present. May consist of fatty
tissue, glandular tissue or both.
Grade 4 – Severe and Feminized
Breasts look feminine with significant enlargement and skin laxity and may look maternal. it is
mostly seen in aging men when skin quality worsens causing the breasts to look worse than they did
when the skin was taut.
Gynecomastia is also classified based on symmetry. Not all men have gynecomastia in both breasts.
Gynecomastia is identified as either bilateral or unilateral. Men with bilateral gynecomastia have an
enlargement in both breasts, while unilateral gynecomastia means it is only present in one breast.
Types of Gynecomastia
Glandular Gynecomastia vs. Pseudogynecomastia
Understanding what is causing the enlarged breasts will determine the type of treatment needed.
A physical examination by a board-certified plastic surgeon who specializes in gynecomastia is
necessary to determine the type of gynecomastia you have and what the best’s the
suitable treatment is for permanent correction
Glandular gynecomastia is the result of an excess of estrogen in the male body. It is
mainly caused due to the plastic, pesticide-laden foods, and medications, more and more
men are becoming estrogen-dominant. When this happens, the glandular breast tissue can
become enlarged.
Pseudogynecomastia
Pseudogynecomastia is a condition in which the male breast area has excess fat
tissue behind, around and under the nipples. Although “pseudo” means false or
making something else, “fake gynecomastia” is a very critical problem for some
males and can cause physical and psychological problems.
2. Foods that fuel Gynecomastia
Diet is another factor that plays an important role in the development of gynecomastia. Obviously,
eating a high-fat, high-carb, high-sugar diet isn’t good for anyone, but excessive weight gain can
cause bulges all over your body, especially in the breast tissue. Just as women who gain weight often
need to go up a cup size, men who pack on the pounds may find themselves developing man boobs.
Some foods that we eat may contain hormones and other chemicals that increase the effects of
estrogen. If one is trying to smooth the chest contour on their own than they will need to avoid
these foods that fuel gynecomastia.
1. Processed Food
Processed meals should be avoided as much as possible as these foods are full of empty calories and
usually loaded with sodium, sugars and preservatives and any food that comes out of a can or a
plastic container could contain testosterone-stunting chemicals like polycarbonate or bisphenol A
which is not good.
2. Soy Products
Edamame, tofu, tempeh and soy dairy products are all high-protein alternatives to animal products
but, if you’re trying to lose your man boobs, you might want to keep your consumption of soy to a
minimum. Soy is high in phytoestrogens, which are the plant form of human estrogen. They are not
identical, but evidence suggests they are molecularly similar enough to mimic the effect of estrogen
when you consume them.
3. Eggs and Dairy Products
Eggs, milk and cheese are all high in protein and low in fat however, these products are also packed
with chicken and cow estrogen, which is identical to the human version of the hormone.
4. Beer
Beer is a stereotypically manly drink, but ironically, it could be contributing to your feminine-looking
chest. The grains used to create beer are naturally estrogenic. Plus, beer is mostly empty calories. If
you’re trying to lose man boobs, cut back on your beer consumption.
