What is Pseudogynecomastia?
When fatty deposits form in the male breast tissue, this can lead to an appearance similar to gynecomastia. However, when underlying glandular tissue is absent, this condition is known as "pseudogynecomastia" and is often caused by:
- Obesity
- Poor diet
- Lack of exercise
- Hormonal imbalances
- Certain medications
Whether you are dealing with pseudogynecomastia or true gynecomastia, it's important to understand the difference and meet with a qualified doctor for an accurate diagnosis.
Our Chicago gynecomastia surgeons, Dr. Marc Adajar and Dr. Anh-Tuan Truong, are both board-certified and have treated thousands of men with ChestSculpt®. This procedure is minimally invasive and is specifically designed to treat pseudogynecomastia.
Symptoms of Pseudogynecomastia
Pseudogynecomastia, as previously mentioned, is the accumulation of fat (adipose tissue) in the chest area. The symptoms may include:
- Swelling and tenderness in the breast area
- Enlargement of breast tissue
- Nipple discharge, albeit in select cases
- Irregular breast development
How to prevent Pseudogynecomastia
To prevent pseudogynecomastia, adopting a healthy lifestyle is essential. This includes:
- Eating a healthy diet
- Exercising regularly
- Limiting alcohol and drug use
- Managing underlying health conditions
- Avoiding anabolic steroid use
Most men who have pseudogynecomastia & gynecomastia have an excess of both fat and glandular tissue in the breasts and require liposuction and gland excision.
