Heartache: Fat teenage boys often need breast reductions
I know, you’re thinking I’m talking about the man-boobs that incredibly obese boys and men develop. Nope, that’s not what I’m talking about at all.
No, it turns out being obese as a tweenager causes some screwed up hormone imbalances that cause these boys to grow real, honest-to-goodness breasts, boobs, chi-chi’s, ta-ta’s, dirty pillows, teats, tits…well, you get the idea.
From the Times Online:
Obesity has been blamed for the growing problem of “boy-boobs” – cases of teenage boys with breasts so well developed that surgery is needed to reduce them.
Doctors at Alder Hey Hospital in Liverpool say that they are seeing dozens of teenagers every year with gynaecomastia, the condition in which males develop breasts.

While some boys are simply fat, giving the appearance that they have breasts, those who develop gynaecomastia face a greater problem: the growth of firm female breast tissue under the nipples, Mr Duncan said. This condition is caused by a hormone imbalance during adolescence and in many cases resolves itself naturally. There is some evidence that the imbalance can be triggered by obesity.
So, you’d think these boys would wake up and start losing weight, right? Nah, why bother with that when you can pay someone an enormous amount of money to take care of the problem.
“We try to teach these boys about making lifestyle adjustments, like getting them to go to the gym, but they just won’t go. They become very self-conscious and it can start to affect their ability to socialise and concentrate at school. Often they are bullied. To rectify the problem for them we basically use liposuction to remove the glandular and breast tissue and fat from around the chest to give a flatter appearance.”
