Good Results With Surgery For Gynecomastia In Bodybuilders

Gynecomastia is a condition in which boys or men develop lumps under their nipples, causing them to stick out and resulting in abnormally large or feminine breasts (often called “bitch tits”). Gynecomastia is extremely common and can be embarrassing for those who have it. Of all the procedures Dr. Filiberto performs for his male patients, gynecomastia treatment is the most popular. “It’s very hard to put a number on the amount of top bodybuilders who’ve had their gynecomastia done, but it’s pretty common,” he explains.

Most male bodybuilders are very body-conscious and place a high value on their appearance. This often times causes men to push their physique to the limits by experimenting with steroids use. While most men will do their research on the pros and cons of taking steroids and learn they will be at risk of developing gynecomastia, they don’t seem to truly understand the implications should they develop enlarged male breasts. Steroids are converted by the body (often fat cells) into estrogen. This increase in estrogen levels is what can cause men to develop unwanted breast tissue. Another misunderstanding in the bodybuilding community is the belief that if you develop enlarged male breasts while taking steroids, it will simply go away after you stop taking them. This is not true. Breast tissue that has developed from using steroids will not go away. It is permanent. Not even diet or increasing chest workouts will remedy the problem. Gynecomastia surgery is the only solution for removing breast tissue.
