* * * Enlargement is no longer a patent for girls. Doctors say that about 45% of men will suffer from "male breast disease" because of the developed breast in adolescence. Lin, a student in Grade Two, is an example. She is about 1.76cm tall, strong and not obese. However, due to the developed mammary glands, her breasts protrude by about B cups, and she is ridiculed as a "big-breasted woman". It was not until she had a breast reduction operation that she regained her confidence.

Dr. Hao Zhihua said that due to the influence of heredity, obesity and environmental hormones, about 45% of teenagers have breast enhancement. Hao Zhihua, a plastic surgeon at the Plastic Surgery Center of Guangtian General Hospital, said that "male breast dysplasia" refers to the symptoms of excessive development of male breast tissue and abnormal hyperplasia of local fat in the chest, thus being as plump as women.

There are many reasons for male gynecomastia, including congenital family inheritance, obesity, hormone imbalance, tumor and so on. If boys eat or contact with too many plasticizers or environmental hormones, it may also cause male breast development.

Male gynecomastia is very common in adolescence, and about 45% to 65% of adolescent boys are troubled by male gynecomastia to varying degrees. If it is only a mild symptom, it will usually not have a significant impact on the appearance or psychology of the client, but one third of the boys will have more obvious symptoms. Big breasts and prominent breasts often lead to loss of self-confidence and obstacles in life and interpersonal relationships.

Lin, a male student with gynecomastia, had a B cup in his chest before the operation, but after the breast reduction operation, his chest has recovered to be flat and regained his confidence.

Dr. Hao Zhihua said that at present, the relatively new treatment method is micro liposuction, which uses tiny micro fat sculpture tubes to enter the chest to extract excess fat and destroy unnecessary breast tissue, so as to flatten the chest and reduce the recurrence rate. This operation only needs local anesthesia, and the wound is only the size of a pinhole, leaving no scar and no need for suture and needle sewing. You can go home after a short rest after treatment that day, and your school and life will not be affected.

However, Dr. Hao Zhihua reminded that people with male gynecomastia should ask professional doctors for examination and diagnosis before undergoing surgery to rule out malignant factors or pathogenic factors such as tumors.
