Gynecomastia, the medical term for enlarged male breasts, can cause significant emotional distress and self-consciousness for those affected. It is a common condition that can occur at any age and can be caused by factors such as hormonal imbalances, medication side effects, or genetic predisposition. Fortunately, there are effective treatment options available to help individuals regain their confidence and say goodbye to gynecomastia.
Treatment Options
Dr. Blau, a renowned expert in gynecomastia surgery, offers a range of treatment options tailored to meet the unique needs of each patient. The treatment approach may vary based on the severity of the condition and the individual's aesthetic goals.
1. Liposuction
Liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure that removes excess fat from the chest area. It is suitable for individuals who have gynecomastia primarily caused by excess fatty tissue. During the procedure, a small incision is made, and a thin tube called a cannula is used to suction out the fat deposits. Liposuction typically requires a short recovery period and can provide significant improvement in the contour of the chest.
2. Excision
Excision involves the surgical removal of glandular tissue and excess skin in the chest area. It is commonly used for individuals with gynecomastia caused by glandular overgrowth or sagging skin. The procedure may involve a combination of liposuction and excision to achieve optimal results. Excision surgery requires a slightly longer recovery time compared to liposuction but can provide more dramatic and long-lasting improvements.
3. Combination Approach
In some cases, a combination of liposuction and excision may be recommended to address both excess fat and glandular tissue. This approach allows for comprehensive correction of gynecomastia and can deliver excellent cosmetic outcomes.
4. Non-Surgical Options
For individuals with mild gynecomastia or those who prefer non-surgical treatments, Dr. Blau also offers non-invasive options such as CoolSculpting. CoolSculpting utilizes controlled cooling technology to target and eliminate fat cells, resulting in a more sculpted chest. These non-surgical treatments require no downtime and can be an attractive option for those seeking minimal intervention.
