When to See a Doctor

If you experience enlarged breast tissue, discomfort, or noticeable changes in your chest, consult a doctor to determine the cause and discuss treatment options.

Risk Factors and Complications:

Gynecomastia surgery is a generally safe procedure, but potential risks include bleeding, infection, and temporary bruising or swelling. Choosing a qualified surgeon and following post-operative instructions carefully minimizes these risks.

Prevention:

Maintaining a healthy weight and lifestyle can help regulate hormones and reduce the risk of gynecomastia. However, some cases are due to hormonal imbalances beyond your control.
