What Is Gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia is a benign condition in which boys and men develop the appearance of “male breasts,” caused by swollen breast tissue or fat that often protrudes and can be seen through a shirt. At The Piazza Center in Austin, TX, practice founder Dr. Rocco Piazza helps men and teens correct this common, treatable condition — leaving them with a sculpted, masculine chest and virtually no signs of surgery.
Gynecomastia is completely resistant to diet and exercise, and in some cases certain pectoral exercises can make it worse. Dr. Piazza understands how important it is for men and boys to feel confident in their bodies and has helped countless male patients who have struggled with this condition.
