The podcast addresses frequently-asked questions about gynecomastia, a medical condition that causes enlarged breast tissue in individuals assigned male at birth, as requested by Amaris B. Clinic’s followers on Instagram.
“Preventing gynecomastia is challenging because it is primarily caused by hormonal imbalances in individuals with physiological gynecomastia. This condition, characterised by the enlargement of breast tissue in males, is often linked to hormonal changes during puberty, ageing, or as a side effect of certain medications or medical conditions. As such, it is not easily preventable through specific measures, and treatment options may vary depending on the underlying cause,” shares Dr Ivan Puah, a MOH-accredited liposuction doctor who has more than 20 years of gynecomastia surgery experience in Singapore.
