The cost of the treatment can range from anywhere between $3000 and $8000 and has its drawbacks.
Firstly, surgery is invasive and the resulting scarring and tenderness after the procedure can be very uncomfortable, if only in the short-medium term.
Secondly, surgery does not eliminate the root cause of man boobs, i.
e.
the build up of fatty tissue in the chest or the growth of male glandular breast tissue - as a consequence, some time after your expensive surgery you could find your man boobs returning to haunt you! Man Boobs - Understanding the Many Causes Will Help You Eliminate Them! The most effective way of fighting male breast growth is to know what causes them, and the type you suffer from.
As indicated above, some men develop glandular tissue within their chest walls, which has quite a different feel to the usual fatty build ups that many men suffer from.
This growth of breast tissue, as opposed to simply a fatty build up, is caused by hormonal imbalances, often during puberty, and sometimes in later life.
Hormone imbalances can also result from the presence of estrogens (the female sex hormone) and testosterone blocking compounds in common foods and medications.
However, by far the most common cause of a prominent flabby chest, particularly after adolescence, is a build up of fatty tissue in and around the chest area.
This build up is caused by all of the usual factors -- lack of exercise, poor diet, alcohol use and other factors, such as genetics.
Unfortunately, fatty build up in the man boob area is often the first to arrive and the last to leave! Most men who suffer from man boobs will attest to just how difficult it can be to achieve any reduction in the fatty build up on their chests by utilising commonplace techniques, such as general exercise, push ups etc.
Well if that really is the case, what's the answer? The most important point to make, as with all body issues, is that if you notice any unusual growth or swelling on any part of your body your first port of call should be your primary physician or family doctor.
