Dreaming of a flat, masculine chest?

Temporary breast development is normal in males during puberty. Around half of teenage boys develop enlarged breasts, which typically subside by adulthood. If not, persistent enlargement can cause psychological distress. Possible causes include obesity, hormonal imbalances, kidney or liver issues, certain medications, or drugs like marijuana. A thorough assessment is essential before surgery.

This procedure, performed under general anaesthesia, reduces chest volume to achieve a flat appearance. Scars depend on the breast size and range from an areola-only scar to an L-shaped scar. The breast gland and excess fat are removed, and the skin may be tightened. Compression bandages are worn for three days post-surgery to promote optimal healing.
