In any case, it is not true that all breast formation is caused by the use of muscle-strengthening drugs. Certain medications can also cause it, and sometimes it&#8217;s just in your build, often then in your family. Fortunately, there are several solutions. Depending on which tissue is causing the breast formation, liposuction may be performed, glandular tissue may be removed and possibly the skin tightened. Often they are combinations, most common is the combination of liposuction and gland removal.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-809367d e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"809367d\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-752eaa7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"752eaa7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/essenzaclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image00075-768x1024.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-5236\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/essenzaclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image00075-768x1024.jpeg.webp 768w, https:\/\/essenzaclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image00075-225x300.jpeg.webp 225w, https:\/\/essenzaclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image00075-1152x1536.jpeg.webp 1152w, https:\/\/essenzaclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image00075-1536x2048.jpeg.webp 1536w, https:\/\/essenzaclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image00075-scaled.jpeg.webp 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-925f166 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"925f166\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2801074 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"2801074\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d70226d elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"d70226d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"508\" height=\"520\" src=\"https:\/\/essenzaclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Simone-voor.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-5234\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/essenzaclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Simone-voor.png.webp 508w, https:\/\/essenzaclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Simone-voor-293x300.png.webp 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 508px) 100vw, 508px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8742d4f e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"8742d4f\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7f0baa5 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"7f0baa5\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-78c1279 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"78c1279\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><p><b>What about the scars?<\/b><\/p><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f7fa96c read-more-trigger elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f7fa96c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Liposuction produces only a few small incisions, if they heal normally you see almost nothing.
