Gynecomastia can have significant psychological impact on the self-esteem and confidence of the person suffering from it.

Common Causes Of Gynecomastia Include:
- Hormonal Changes During Puberty:
Hormonal changes during puberty can cause temporary gynecomastia. This usually resolving as hormone levels stabilize. But in some patients, it doesn’t go away. - Anabolic Steroids:
Often used by gym goers, these substances can disrupt hormone balance and result in formation of breast gland. This is one of the most common causes of Gynecomastia in young men. - Ageing:
Hormonal changes in older men, especially if overweight, may result in accumulation of excess fatty tissue in the chest area along with formation of fibrous breast gland.
Medications:
- Anti-Androgens: Used for conditions like prostate enlargement.
- Certain Anti-Anxiety and Antidepressants
- Certain Heart and Ulcer Medications
Health Conditions:
- Several chronic health conditions can result in gynecomastia.
Herbal Products and Supplements:
- Tea Tree Oil and Lavender: These have estrogenic and anti-androgenic properties.
- Plant-Based Supplements: Products like soy can affect hormone levels.
Substance Abuse:
- Alcohol: Excessive consumption affects liver function and hormone balance.
- Drugs: Use of marijuana, heroin, methadone, and amphetamines.

Understanding these causes is essential for diagnosing and treating gynecomastia effectively. Treatment may involve lifestyle changes, medications, non-surgical procedures, or procedure, depending on the underlying cause and severity.

Frequently Asked Questions
The signs and symptoms of gynecomastia may occur in one or both sides of chest. These may include:
- Swelling of chest gland tissue
- Tenderness
- The increased diameter of the areola or if the chest tissue becomes asymmetrical. The areola is the ring of pigmented skin surrounding the nipple.
Gynecomastia is usually diagnosed by examining the patient's history and conducting a physical examination, accompanied by radiological (ultrasound) investigations when required.
At DermAesthetics, our doctors will ask the patient questions regarding the onset of their symptoms, their medical and drug history and possibly family history.
Once the treatment area has been numbed, you will be unable to feel any pain. At DermAesthetics we make every effort to ensure that every procedure we perform entails minimal pain or discomfort.
In the majority of cases, the incision scars are barely noticeable and begin to fade quickly within a few weeks.
At DermAesthetics, we have the most extensive range of Fractional CO2 Lasers to help reduce any scarring, whether related to a procedure or trauma.
Patients may experience some numbness in the treated area after the procedure. However, this effect will disappear with time.
Most patients can return to office-based work within 5 to 10 days. We recommend at least 2 weeks off if your work involves heavy physical activity or FIFO work. A medical certificate can be organised, which will not mention the name of your procedure.
Light activity is allowed after 72 hours, while light exercise is usually ok after first two weeks. It is critical not to use the chest muscles for any physical activity for at least 2 weeks after the procedure.
Like any surgical procedure, this procedure comes with possible risks and complications that include, but are not limited to:
- Infection
- Over-correction
- Inadequate correction
- Delayed healing and unfavourable scarring
- Nerve irritation and numbness
- Temporary skin discolouration in the incision lines
These risks and complications may include:
- Respiratory depression and compromise
- Cardiovascular depression and compromise
- Increased risk of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)
- Prolonged nausea and vomiting
- Extended hangover
- Short-term and long-term amnesia (memory loss) are some of the significant side effects.
In any case, all surgical procedures carried out under general anaesthesia or twilight sedation should only be performed in an accredited hospital under the supervision of a qualified anaesthetist.
Very high quantities of local anaesthesia are known to cause systemic toxicity which can result in cardiovascular compromise.
At DermAesthetics, all procedures carried out under local anaesthesia are done using a minimal amount of local anaesthetic agent to ensure patient safety.
To be considered suitable for undergoing any elective cosmetic procedure, you should:
- Be physically fit and active
- Have a balanced and healthy diet
- Be of sound emotional/mental health
- Have realistic expectations of the outcome
People unfit to undergo this procedure are:
- Physically unwell with pre-existing medical conditions
- Those with unrealistic expectations
- Those who are going through emotional stress and trauma
- Those we are unable or unwilling to follow a healthy lifestyle (regarding their exercise and diet) after the procedure.
In clinical practice, we have found that a herbal substance called Arnica is helpful in reducing bleeding during or after the procedure. It also aids healing and minimises bruising. This naturally occurring herb is available in the form of oral supplements and is found in most health food stores and pharmacies in Australia.
Above all, a healthy lifestyle, good sleep and a balanced nutritional diet after the procedure are essential factors for optimum healing.
