The development of women like chest in men can be seen badly by society. Especially body builders, swimmers, models or any young men between the ages 20-40 may be badly affected by this.
What is the man breast made of?
The breast, in general, is made of the glandular tissue and the fat tissues. The ratio of glandular to the fat tissue varies from person to person. The ratio of the severity of this condition varies from individual to individual ranging from mild to severe enlargement of male breasts accompanied by the sag of the skin. The reason for this kind of enlargement of breasts in men goes unexplained. Gynecomastia can barely be reduced with diet or any exercise as it tends to be ineffective. Hence surgery is the only effective solution for permanent results.
