Beverly Hills doctor helping men with gynecomastia regain their masculinity

You've heard people jokingly call them "man boobs," but for those who suffer from gynecomastia, it's no laughing matter.

Gynecomastia is a condition that creates excess breast tissue in both adolescent boys and men, resulting in a more feminine-looking chest. A number of factors can lead to gynecomastia, including a hormone imbalance, endocrine disorder, or certain drug abuse, like steroids.

Many men with gynecomastia feel self-conscious and embarrassed, and have low self-esteem. Often, the only way to reverse the condition is male breast reduction surgery. Beverly Hills surgeon Dr. Babak Dadvand specializes in corrective, natural surgeries that help reshape a patient's chest for a more masculine look.
