Just for Men overview

Gynecomastia

Gynecomastia is a medical term that comes from the Greek words for “woman-like breasts.” Though rarely talked about, gynecomastia is actually quite common. Gynecomastia affects an estimated 20 percent of men, although probably more are have a mild form of the condition.

Gynecomastia may affect only one breast or both, results in a rounded or pointed shape to the male chest, which causes it to look more like a female breast.  The cause of gynecomastia is unknown in the majority of case, however certain drugs and medical problems have been linked with male breast overdevelopment. Cannabis containing compounds such as Marinol or marijuana can cause gynecomastia, as well as anabolic steroids. Obesity can also accentuate the appearance of the male breast.

For men who feel self-conscious about their appearance, gynecomastia surgery can help. The most common procedure is ultrasonic liposuction, which removes fat and the firmer glandular tissue from the breasts through small and hidden incisions. In more extreme cases of gynecomastia, excess skin will be removed, which may leave more noticeable scars. The goal of all surgery is to create a masculine appearing chest that is flatter, firmer, and better contoured.

Liposuction for Men

Plastic surgery is an option for many men today, and newer procedures are being developed every year to help keep men on the cutting edge of looking good.

Liposuction for men is almost always focused on removing excess fat around the hips, abdomen and waist (commonly called the love handles spare tire.) Men benefit from using the ultrasonic technique, which breaks down the tougher fat and tissues in this area, resulting

Abdominal Etching for Men

Abdominal etching can use standard and ultrasonic techniques to give the appearance of a more sculpted abdomen. This can often be achieved by creating a six pack (also called tendinous inscriptions) or a midline indention. Fat removal from the abdomen or flanks can also be done at the same time to accentuate the result.

The surgery is done as an outpatient under either local or general anesthesia. Most incisions can easily be hidden in the natural body creases of the body, leaving very small scars. As with all liposuction procedures, the procedure does not substitute for weight loss and individuals near to their ideal weight will have the best liposuction results.
