What is Gynecomastia?

Gynecomastia is the medical term for enlarged male breast tissue caused by excess glandular tissue, fatty deposits, or both. This condition affects 1 in 4 men and can impact one or both breasts, sometimes unevenly. While physically benign, gynecomastia often causes significant psychological distress and social anxiety.

Grades of Gynecomastia

Gynecomastia is classified into 4 grades:

Grade	Description
Grade 1	Small, localized tissue button under areola
Grade 2	Moderate enlargement beyond areola
Grade 3	Moderate-severe with skin excess
Grade 4	Marked enlargement with breast feminization

Though it is a benign condition, it can be a source of distress and embarrassment for men suffering from gynecomastia. Male breast reduction or gynecomastia surgery can help you come out of all this embarrassment and live up with your self-esteem.
