Unilateral Gynecomastia
Unilateral Gynecomastia refers to the enlargement of one breast in males. Gynecomastia is a condition characterized by the benign enlargement of breast tissue in males, and it can occur bilaterally (affecting both breasts) or unilaterally (affecting one breast).
What is Unilateral Gynecomastia?
Unilateral Gynecomastia refers to the condition where only one breast in a male becomes enlarged or swollen. There is a noticeable difference in breast size between the affected and unaffected sides. The breast on the affected side may appear larger, feel tender or sensitive, and have a different shape or contour compared to the other side.

Unilateral Gynecomastia - Causes
There are several potential causes for unilateral Gynecomastia,
- Hormonal imbalance:Gynecomastia can occur when there is an imbalance between the hormones estrogen and testosterone in the body. Estrogen, the female hormone, promotes breast tissue growth, while testosterone, the male hormone, inhibits it. If there is an increase in estrogen or a decrease in testosterone, it can lead to breast tissue enlargement.
- Genetics:Some individuals may have a genetic predisposition to developing Gynecomastia. If there is a family history of Gynecomastia, there may be an increased likelihood of developing the condition.
- Medications:Certain medications can cause Gynecomastia, including some drugs used for treating prostate conditions, certain antidepressants, anabolic steroids, anti-androgens, and some medications used to treat cancer.
- Medical conditions:Certain medical conditions can lead to the development of Gynecomastia, including:
- Liver Disease: Liver cirrhosis or other liver diseases can interfere with hormone metabolism and contribute to Gynecomastia.
- Kidney Disease: Kidney failure or chronic kidney disease can disrupt hormone balance, potentially leading to Gynecomastia.
- Thyroid Disorders: Disorders affecting the thyroid gland, such as hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, can disrupt hormone production and contribute to breast tissue enlargement.
- Testicular Disorders: Conditions affecting the testicles, such as testicular tumours, infections, or trauma, can disrupt hormone production and lead to Gynecomastia.
- Breast tumours: sometimes, cancer of the breast will present as unilateral Gynecomastia
Take Away: If you are experiencing Gynecomastia one side, it is important to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment options. They will conduct a physical examination, review your medical history, and advise additional tests to determine the underlying cause.

Gynecomastia one side - Problems
Unilateral Gynecomastia, or the enlargement of one breast in males, can present several challenges and problems for individuals affected by this condition. Here are some of the problems commonly associated with Gynecomastia one side:
- Body Image and Self-Esteem Issues: Unilateral Gynecomastia can significantly impact a person’s body image and self-esteem. The noticeable difference in breast size between the affected and unaffected sides can lead to feelings of self-consciousness, embarrassment, and dissatisfaction with one’s appearance. It can affect relationships, social interactions, and overall quality of life.
- Psychological Distress: Living with Gynecomastia one side may cause psychological distress, including anxiety, depression, and body dysmorphia. The emotional burden of dealing with the condition and the negative impact on self-perception can contribute to mental health challenges.
- Uneven Physical Appearance: Gynecomastia one side can result in an asymmetrical chest appearance. This physical asymmetry may cause discomfort and hinder individuals from feeling comfortable and confident in certain clothing, such as swimwear or tight-fitting shirts. It can also affect participation in activities involving exposing the chest, such as sports or beach.
- Challenges in Intimate Relationships: Gynecomastia one side can affect intimate relationships and sexual confidence. Individuals may feel self-conscious or anxious about their physical appearance, impacting their ability to engage in intimate situations and leading to relationship difficulties.
- Diagnostic Uncertainty: Determining the underlying cause of Gynecomastia one side can sometimes be challenging. Diagnostic tests and evaluations may be necessary to identify any potential medical conditions or hormonal imbalances contributing to this unilateral gynecomastia condition.
- Limited Treatment Options: Treatments for Gynecomastia one side may vary depending on the underlying cause and individual circumstances. In some cases, surgical interventions, such as liposuction or mastectomy, may be recommended to correct this unilateral gynecomastia problem.
Take Away: It’s essential for individuals experiencing gynecomastia one side problems to seek medical advice and support from board-certified plastic surgeons. They can provide guidance, discuss treatment options, address concerns, and offer resources to manage the challenges associated with unilateral Gynecomastia.
Additionally, seeking emotional support from friends, family, or support groups can help cope with the psychological and emotional aspects of this gynecomastia one side condition.

Unilateral Gynecomastia - Tests required for Treatment
When seeking treatment for Gynecomastia one side, several tests may be required to determine the underlying cause and guide appropriate treatment options. Here are some common tests that may be considered:
- Physical Examination: The surgeon will perform a physical examination, assessing the breast tissue and evaluating the size, shape, and consistency of the affected breast. This will help to assess the grading of gynecomastia. They may also check for any signs of inflammation, tenderness, or abnormal masses.
- Hormone Level Testing: Blood tests can measure hormone levels to assess any hormonal imbalances contributing to Gynecomastia one side. It typically involves evaluating estrogen, testosterone, and other hormone levels.
- Imaging Tests: Imaging tests, such as ultrasound or mammography, may be ordered to assess the breast tissue and evaluate any abnormal masses, cysts, or glandular tissue growth contributing to gynecomastia one side. These tests can help differentiate between Gynecomastia and other conditions, such as breast cancer.
- Laboratory Tests: Additional laboratory tests may be conducted to evaluate liver function, kidney function, and markers of specific medical conditions that can contribute to Gynecomastia one side. Liver and kidney diseases, for example, can disrupt hormone metabolism and contribute to unilateral Gynecomastia.
- Biopsy: In certain cases where there are suspicious masses or if the surgeon wants to rule out breast cancer, a biopsy may be performed. During a biopsy, a small tissue sample is taken from the breast for examination under a microscope to determine if any cancer cells are present.
Take Away: The specific tests required for gynecomastia one side, will depend on the individual’s medical history, physical examination findings, and suspected underlying cause of Gynecomastia. It’s important to consult the surgeon who can evaluate your situation, order the necessary tests, and guide you through the treatment options based on the results.

Gynecomastia one side - Treatment
The treatment options for unilateral Gynecomastia, or the enlargement of one breast in males, depend on the underlying cause, severity of symptoms, individual preferences, and the impact on the person’s quality of life. Here are some common approaches to treating Gynecomastia one side:
- Observation: In some cases, if the underlying cause of unilateral Gynecomastia is temporary or if the breast enlargement is minimal and not causing significant distress, the surgeon may recommend a period of observation without active treatment. This approach involves monitoring the condition to see if it resolves independently.
- Medications: Medications may be prescribed in certain situations if the cause of Gynecomastia one side is secondary to hormonal imbalance.
- Surgical Intervention: In cases where unilateral Gynecomastia persists, causes significant physical or psychological distress, or is associated with glandular breast tissue growth, surgical intervention may be considered. The surgical options include:
- Liposuction:Liposuction is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that involves suctioning excess fat deposits from the breast. It is typically suitable for cases where the enlargement is primarily due to excess fatty tissue.
- Mastectomy: Mastectomy involves the surgical removal of glandular breast tissue. It is performed when significant glandular tissue enlargement is present or when liposuction alone is insufficient.
The results of gynecomastia surgery is excellent in the hands of expert gynecomastia surgoen and side effects of the procedure is minimum.
