Don’t Let Gynecomastia Hold Back Your Life

Finding that perfect tee is one thing, but being able to fit into it the way the mannequin does in the store is another matter altogether. Sure, you can work on losing the beer belly in the gym, but what do you do when all efforts don’t seem to get rid of what looks more like cleavage than a well-defined, broad chest?

If it’s any consolation, you’re hardly alone, with men worldwide suffering the same medical condition known as gynecomastia, or embarrassingly called “man boobs” by society.

With social media photo albums becoming a mirror of our daily lives, the public stigma behind gynecomastia sufferers cannot be ignored.

The good news is that a simple day-surgery procedure is all you need to eradicate embarrassment and discomfort.

To top it all off, it’ll help tone and contour your chest for a more masculine physique.

Gynecomastia, in simple terms is the enlargement of the male breast tissues, which typically involves glandular tissue. Such gynecomastia is known as True gynecomastia. Where there is a proliferation of glandular tissue and excess fat tissues, it is known as Mixed gynecomastia.

Severe cases are painful and lead to increased self-consciousness in social settings. Hence it is not just an aesthetic problem but a medical condition that needs to be treated with gynecomastia surgery.

The biggest challenge for gynecomastia sufferers is to muster the courage to seek treatment. Dr Ivan Puah, liposuction and gynecomastia doctor, at Amaris B. Clinic has been treating gynecomastia for many years.

His dedication to building a trusting relationship with his patients through personalized attention sets Amaris B. Clinic apart from other medical providers. His team takes great pride in ensuring your well-being and will do everything to ensure gynecomastia surgery is meted out safely.

“Gynecomastia is an issue a lot of patients feel very embarrassed or reluctant to talk about. They worry that others may laugh at them or not understand what they are going through,” said Dr Ivan Puah.

“I usually reassure my patients that gynecomastia is more common than they think and that it is not abnormal for them to feel insecure or embarrassed by their condition. I understand how gynecomastia affects them and will discuss with them the options available to them.”

So remember, you are just one call away from eradicating those years of pain and embarrassment caused by gynecomastia.
