                     Breast Surgery isn’t Just For 
Women
  
Introduction
About breast surgery you generally think of a female boob job 
right? Well breast or chest surgery in males is actually more 
common than you think. The reason is because of Gynecomastia, 
it is the most common condition within men that leads to breast 
surgery and we are going to cover everything you need to know 
about Gynecomastia with the guidance of Dr Mark Kohout.
  
What is Gynecomastia?
It is a common condition caused by glandular enlargement of 
the breast. This is a condition that affects around 40-60% of the 
male population. What a lot of people don’t realise is 
Gynecomastia is becoming more common for men with this 
condition to seek out surgery to improve the look of their chests.
Gynecomastia can be a sensitive condition to treat, so it can be 
beneficial to learn more information and facts before you 
consider the possible solutions. 
  
Surgery Can Be A Great 
Solution
Male breast reduction surgery is a highly personalised procedure so 
you need to consider If this is suitable for you. If you have come to the 
decision that it is right for you, it can be a great way to counter 
Gynecomastia. This operation can be performed on healthy, 
emotionally stable men of any age. It is beneficial if the patient has 
firm and elastic skin that can be manipulated and can easily conform 
to the body’s new contours. 
  
Gynecomastia Is Not Only 
Caused By Excess Fat
It is important to note that whilst excess fat can contribute to making 
a male’s breasts look larger, as mentioned, it is not the only cause of 
gynecomastia. There are a variety of causes, therefore, it is not just 
overweight males who can develop Gynecomastia, those within a 
healthy weight range are also at risk. Regularly checking in with your 
doctor or a specialist, such as Mark Kohout, if you notice any irregular 
changes or symptoms never hurts, it’s better to be safe than sorry.
  
Exercise Won’t Always Be 
The Solution
Exercise is a great way to reduce male breasts if the issue stems from 
a build-up of fatty tissue only. However, if the problem lies elsewhere – 
hormonal issues, for example – you will need to opt for other 
appropriate solutions, such as surgery. Gynecomastia is the 
development of breast tissue, and therefore cannot be reduced with 
‘spot training’ – you can’t target a series of exercises to reduce fat 
tissue in breasts.
