Is it possible to treat male (Type 1 or Grade 1) Gyncomastia (Gland on both sides) with only botox? Is Gland Excision or liposuction or combination of both is necessary?

Answer: Botox not indicated for gynecomastia Thank you for your question. Botox is a neurotoxin which blocks transmission of chemical signals between nerves and muscles. Male gynecomastia is caused by overgrowth of glandular breast tissue, usually from excessive hormonal stimulation. Treatment of gynecomastia that persists after removal of hormonal or medication related stimulus is surgical with either liposuction, direct excision or a combination of the two. There is no indication for Botox in the treatment of gynecomastia.

Answer: Botox for gynecomastia? Thanks for this question. Botox and Dysport are medications that temporarily relax muscles for a period of 3 to 4 months. Some people use these medication to relax the nipples, but I am not aware of it working to reduce gynecomastia. I do believe the best treatment for gynecomastia is a combination of direct excision and liposuction, but the treatment for you can only be planned out after an in-person examination. Best, Dr. ALDO :)
