Does being overweight cause Gynaecomastia? Not always. Chest enlargement in men may be due to fatty tissue (Pseudogynaecomastia), glandular tissue (true Gynaecomastia), or a combination of both. Weight, hormones and skin quality all influence chest appearance, which is why individual assessment matters.
Disclaimer:
Gynaecomastia surgery, like any surgical or invasive procedure, carries risks. All risks associated with Gynaecomastia surgery are located under the ‘patient centre’ section on our website (link in bio).
All patients need time, support, and appropriate aftercare to recover from surgery. Individual results will vary.
