Gynecomastia/Male Breast Reduction Surgery Bogota
Do you feel conscious of your oversized chest? Regardless of how much effort you put in at the gym, hormonal or genetic issues won’t let you reduce your chest size. Gynecomastia, or enlarged male breasts, is an increasingly common concern among men, affecting around 40%-60% of men. Dr. Carlos Camacho’s clinic in Bogota offers professional gynecomastia surgery Colombia or male breast reduction surgery, allowing you to achieve the upper body contour you have always wanted.
The first step of your procedure involves carefully analyzing your current health condition, beginning with the cause of gynecomastia. Enlarged breasts in men may be due to a hormonal imbalance, natural aging, obesity, or even the use of certain medications. While gynecomastia does not impair your physical health, it can take a massive toll on your self-image and self-esteem. Once the tissue has grown, reduction is rarely possible without surgical intervention. Our gynecomastia surgery will allow you to regain a more masculine, defined chest contour that helps you feel more confident in your appearance.
What Is Gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia, also known as manboobs, refers to the growth of enlarged breast tissue in men, which is usually a mix of glandular tissue and fat. Unfortunately, this takes away from the contoured chest appearance we associate with masculinity. Gynecomastia can affect both breasts or only one side of the chest at times, affecting your body proportions. At the same time, this stubborn fatty tissue cannot be remedied with plain exercise or diet. The only way you can correct it is through gynecomastia surgery.

Who Is The Ideal Candidate For A Gynecomastia Colombia Surgery?
The gynecomastia procedure is recommended for men in good overall health who wish to improve the shape and contour of their chest. It is ideal for those who have excess breast tissue growth that cannot be corrected through diet or exercise.
