Understanding Gynecomastia in Thin Men: What You Need to Know

Gynecomastia in Thin Men

While weight gain and obesity cause fat pockets to build across the belly, thighs, hips, arms, and even the chest, what happens in the case of thin men?

 You might be surprised to hear but even skinny men can develop breasts—a condition known as gynecomastia. 

 

This is primarily a misconception since it does not concern body fat or obesity. Gynecomastia is technically the growth of breast tissue and glands, and this typically arises due to hormonal imbalances accompanying puberty.

Why Do Skinny Men Get Gynecomastia?​

When man boobs are in question, it is often sought to be visualized as being overweight. However, with gynecomastia in skinny males, the issue is quite different. 

It is hormonal imbalances that lead to tissues not growing right in the male breasts, usually occurring when puberty sets in. Whether one’s body type happens to be thin or relatively overweight, gynecomastia can occur depending on how the body produces such hormonal changes.

The condition is not something that can be helped through diet and exercise from the very fact that it is associated with the development of actual breast glands. 

 

Comparatively with the development of fat deposits, the conditions normally can be shed by the help of lifestyle changes. The single sure form of treatment for skinny guys affected by gynecomastia is surgery.

What is Gynecomastia Surgery?

Dr. Ashish Khare offers specialized gynecomastia surgery that includes a combination of liposuction and body contouring for removal of excess fat and gland tissue in the breast.

 For the skinny men with man boobs who want to achieve more toned and masculine chests, this is a procedure to look to.

 Dr. Khare employs the latest techniques to ensure that there is least scarring with a soft, natural look.

How Gynecomastia Surgery Can Help Skinny Men

Gynecomastia surgery removes excess breast fat and the gland itself.

 

  • Gives you chiseled, toned chest muscles.

  • Boosts your confidence and self-esteem.

  • Gives you a more balanced body shape.

  • It makes skinny guys appear to be more fit.

How Gynecomastia Surgery Can Help Skinny Men

  • It changes the way your body looks naturally.

  • It will not result in well-defined pectorals.

It won’t stop future fat accumulations – even for skinny guys with gynecomastia, gaining weight can cause you to gain fat deposits in the chest, but that’s far from glandular growth.

It is not going to give you a body that comes entirely new but it gives you a much enhanced look of your natural self.

Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ashish Khare is respected for his patient-centric approach. Using all his expertise, he ensures that men – skinny, slender, athletic, or massive – end up getting the best possible result in life, free of embarrassment from what’s commonly referred to as skinny man boobs.

 

If you are underweight, have gynecomastia, and want to know what could be done about it, then you have come to the right place because Dr. Ashish Khare is going to take you through all that.

Dr. Ashish Khare is undoubtedly the best cosmetic and plastic surgeon in Gurgaon. I had a head injury with a skull deep cut on my forehead. I was scared that the sutures will leave a lifelong scar. Dr. Khare did the procedure so patiently and kept motivating me positively that there will be a very light scar and I need not worry about it. Its been a while since I got the sutures and the scar is hardly visible. His staff was also very warm and supportive and his clinic is clean and well equipped with all latest amenities. He is definitely your go to person for any plastic or cosmetic surgery. Thankyou once again Dr Khare.

I was suffering from gynaecomastia from a long time. I was searching a lot about whom to consult this. After searching a lot, I came to know about doctor Ashish. In our first meeting, he made me comfortable and told everything about the procedure and cleared all the confusion that I had in my mind. Even after our meeting, I called him so many times and each time he picked up my call and answered all my queries. I finally decided to undergo this surgery. Now, its been a month after the surgery, I am very happy with the results and feel quite confident about my body. Thanks to doctor Ashish and his staff.

I was suffering from small breast since a long time . I wanted a solution for that as I feel very low in self esteem and confidence , I came to know about Dr Ashish Khare at Kalosa Cosmetics . The doctor told me about implant and I underwent breast implant surgery by Dr Ashish . I did not tell anyone about the procedure , the doctor and team took proper care of me during and after the procedure . It was a day care surgery and really painless . My dressing was removed after 48 hrs and I can see the difference . I was really very happy with the results and I truly recommend Dr Ashish Khare and kalosa cosmetics for breast implant surgeries as well as breast reduction surgery . In my opinion Dr Ashish Khare is best plastic surgeon in this field . Really appreciate the doctor .

“I do not like my nose and i want a nose job done.” Our adult but also a teenager son sprang a surprise on us. We tried our best to convince him that his nose was close to perfect and he didn’t need any surgery. Besides, the after effects of any surgery would be long lasting and sometimes permanent. But he was insistent since he had done a lot of online research on this topic. He felt that he had lost his confidence as he hated his nose and surgery was the only option to regain his lost confidence. We approached Dr.Khare with this issue and shared our son’s pics with him. After seeing his pics, he acted very maturely and understood that the issue with our son was a psychological one – effect of hardly any face to face interactions with people due to 2.5 years of Corona. He acted more like a psychologist and explained to our son in detail about different types of noses, who went for a surgery and why, clearly highlighting the long term effects of a surgery. He also gave personal tips on how to boost confidence by making new friends, developing new hobbies etc. Many times plastic surgeons have to be psychologists, as certain unnoticeable issues with a person’s face that he/she personally dislike are an offshoot of their mind which doesn’t require any surgery or correction. Many plastic surgeons don’t even bother to talk out a young teenager/adult from surgery as it is a part of their business. But definitely not Dr. Khare. After one meeting with him, our son was convinced that he did not need a surgery. Had he been a totally money minded surgeon, he would have convinced our son otherwise. Can’t comment on Dr. Khare's surgical competences ( am sure he would be good at that too ) as have not experienced it, but highly recommend him for his understanding levels and maturity.

Dr. Ashish is one of the few doctors that actually specializes in getting rid of gynecomastia. I had my surgery 3 weeks ago and can say I have never felt so much relief... Even w/ some swelling, my chest looks 100% better. Thanks to Dr. Ashish and his staff!
