Gynecomastia Treatment
Restore a flat, masculine chest contour. Luxor Clinic specialises in gynecomastia treatment, addressing both fatty and glandular excess with minimally invasive and surgical options tailored to your anatomy.
What Causes Gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia ("man boobs") results from excess breast tissue in males due to:
Hormonal Imbalance
- Elevated oestrogen relative to testosterone (puberty, ageing, medications)
- Anabolic steroids, anti-androgens, antidepressants, heart medications
Fat Accumulation
- Weight gain causing pseudo-gynecomastia (fat only, no gland)
- Post-weight loss residual fatty deposits
Medical Conditions
iver disease, hyperthyroidism, testicular tumours, kidney failure
- Idiopathic (unknown cause) – most common in 50+ age group
Physical Signs
- Firm glandular tissue under areola (true gynecomastia)
- Soft fatty fullness ± skin laxity (pseudo-gynecomastia)
- Often unilateral or asymmetrical
