Asymmetrical/Unilateral Gynecomastia

Unequal or unilateral gynecoamstia are not uncommon conditions. It is more significant when there are major differences between both breasts. In those severe cases, this type of enlarged breasts may cause extreme psychological and social anxiety that can affect all aspects of life and may cause an antisocial, less productive member of society. This large and unequal breast may also interfere with intimate personal relationships.

The cause of such male breast enlargement can be from medications, steroids, tumors, marijuana, idiopathic (cause unknown), Kleinfelter Syndrome, Gilbert Syndrome or other conditions.

Like women, most men have breasts of slightly differing size and shape. Usually, the degree of difference between the two breasts is not severe.

As with all cosmetic surgery, results will be rewarding if expectations are realistic. As with any surgery, there are some risks which your doctor will discuss with you.
