TweetMen love boobs, right? Well, not always. For the roughly 30 to 40 percent of men who suffer from some form of gynecomastia, the boobs are unfortunately on their own chests.The fatty deposits that accumulate in men's pectoral area have been jokingly referred to for years as "man boobs." But for many men and adolescent boys, gynecomastia is anything but funny.Many teenage boys have suffered so much teasing and emotional torment about their condition that they have resorted to plastic surgery to correct it. This would explain the significant increase in male breast reduction surgeries each year.The type of gynecomastia most men experience is really pseudogynecomastia, which means their chest area has the appearance of breasts but is really just made up of adipose (regular fat) tissue. Most men simply develop these features from being overweight and having some of the fat store itself in their chests. Often, men who dabbled in bodybuilding and then quit find pseudogynecomastic breasts where their pectoral muscles used to be when the muscle transforms and sags.Some believe that it is not just overeating, but also what you eat, that determines whether or not you will develop pseudogynecomastia.gynecomastia new jersey

TweetDang thats sad. That could be pretty tough.
I would say to any guy who thinks he has gyno, do not jump to conclusions about your possible gyno and get surgery before you bring your bodyfat down to sub 10%BF at least
. Often, gyno is just fat around the outter edges of the pec and much, if not all of that goes away and tightens up on people when they drop their bodyfat damn low. If you are at 5% BF and you still have gyno, then, maybe you want to consider surgery or maybe not. Very often all the gyno is gone when the guy drops his bodyfat.
