From Gynecomastia To Confidence_ How Breast Reduction Can Improve Men’s Mental Well Being
Share

A report by the National Institute of Health (NIH) shows that more than 70% of boys in early to mid-puberty encounter gynecomastia resulting from hormonal fluctuations. 65% of middle-aged men also face the same issue. A large number of patients have psychological issues resulting from gynecomastia. It may affect how men perceive themselves, leaving them ashamed or embarrassed. This is why Dr. Tarek Bayazid offers options to fix this condition and restore confidence among men. Here is how a breast reduction procedure can improve your mental well-being;

A Confidence and Self-Esteem Boost

In a study, the Journal of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery found that issues of social phobia and low-self esteem are higher in men with gynecomastia compared to the normal population. Patients with gynecomastia expressed that they delft ashamed to expose their bodies, especially around people they are not related to.

Self-esteem and body image influence each other. If you feel bad about your body, it is often hard for you to feel good about it, which results in poor self-esteem. Gynecomastia brings about noticeable physical changes that cause some not-so-obvious mental problems.

 The insecurities that come with having this condition can lead to social anxiety. This may impact one’s ability to socialize with new people, engage in spontaneous activities or be their best at work. A breast reduction surgery will deal with the physical, ultimately fixing the mental.  After a procedure, most patients feel comfortable in and out of their shirts and are more open to experiencing and enjoying life. 

A Masculine Figure

Society shapes the idea of what a masculine figure should look like. The masculine figure must have a sculpted chest, defined trapezoid muscles, bulky rhomboids, and long lats. Having bulky pectoral muscles lean more toward a feminine figure.

Better Weight Maintenance

Gynecomastia occurs due to hormonal imbalances when a man’s testosterone levels are outstandingly lower than estrogen levels. Although the condition does not result from weight gain, it can make losing weight challenging. 

The extra glandular and fatty tissue could cause pain or discomfort during movement. Unfortunately, compression shirts may not provide the best security. Some men may also find it embarrassing to engage in swimming, where they must take off their shirts.  

A breast reduction surgery will rid yu off f that extra bouncy glandular tissue. It allows you to engage in all those sports activities that involve jumping without experiencing pain r discomfort. Apart from achieving an instant new look, you get a chance at pain-free exercise. Through exercise, your body releases feel-good endorphins that ease depression and anxiety.

A Freer Mind

Gynecomastia makes men self-conscious about their bodies. Therefore, they must constantly consider how to dress to accommodate their condition. Their mind is constantly flooded with thoughts about how other people perceive them. Are they looking at my man chest? Does this shirt hide the chest sufficiently? The mind becomes a constant loop of thoughts because of this condition. 

Getting breast reduction surgery will free your mind of such thoughts. You get more time to focus on productive and more important things such as work. You are better positioned to achieve your goals as you are not distracted. Call Dr. Terek today to get a quote and change your life forever.

More Wardrobe Options

Men with gynecomastia often try to hide their condition using baggy shirts. They have limited wardrobe choices, as they tend to avoid anything that is revealing around the chest area. A breast reduction surgery will allow you to choose what to wear freely. Your body doesnt have to be a barrier between you and your desired outfits.

That tight T-shirt is no longer a cause for attention, and your mind is freer. The clothes we wear also influence our mental health. There are specific colors, patterns, and cuts that are mood enhancers. When you like the clothes you wear and are confident in them, you can ward off feelings of depression or anxiety.

Long-lasting results

A breast reduction procedure involves removing fat cells from the chest area. Once removed, they can only grow back if you gain a tremendous amount of weight in the future. This will cause the existing fat cells to expand.  If your doctor diagnoses the cause of gynecomastia correctly, ther is nothing to worry about. To maintain permanent results, you need to;

  • Diagnose the gynecomastia cause correctly
  • Maintain a healthy weight
  • Limit the intake of drugs such as marijuana and alcohol
  • Stay away from anabolic steroids unless recommended by your doctor. Let your doctor know of your gynecomastia history if they recommend anabolic steroids. You can get a prescription that is safer for you.

A breast reduction procedure’s permanent nature will ease your mind.

Better Posture

Too much fat in the chest area can lead to bad posture and back pain. Some men with gynecomastia also tend to slouch to conceal their chest area. Over time, they develop poor posture, which impacts their mood and mental state. 

People who sit or move in a reclined position are more likely to experience sadness or depression. They also come off as closed off or uninterested. Breast reduction surgery will give you a flat chest, improving your posture. You can stand tall and confident without worry. Standing tall will help you appear confident and competent, which may positively impact your career.

Get Your Confidence Back

Breast reduction gives you the best shot at dealing with gynecomastia forever. You achieve your higher self by enjoying all the above mental health changes.
