Gynecomastia Phoenix

What is Gynecomastia ?

Gynecomastia is the medical term for Man boobs. It gives the appearance of enlarged breasts because of stubborn fatty tissue deposits. Gynecomastia is frequent in:

  • Men who are slightly overweight and have breast enlargement issues
  • boys during puberty when female hormones overtake male hormones for a period of up to two years.
  • Users of anabolic steroids or calcium channel blockers can cause it.
  • Older men due to lowering of testosterone levels
  • Men who have overcome bouts of obesity and rapid weight loss

Up to 50% of men in America will develop some form of gynecomastia in their lifetime. It makes it one of the most common liposuction requests from men.

What is Gynecomastia Liposuction?

Male chest liposuction is one of the preferred options to repair the effects of gynecomastia. It is a cosmetic surgery procedure to remove fat in the breast area of a male patient.

The procedure uses a combination of tumescent liposuction and laser liposuction to remove the fat area. It is done under local anesthetic and does not require general anesthesia

The doctor uses a small cannula surgical technique to access the fat lodged between the muscle and the excess breast tissue. Tumescent liposuction involves the injection of a solution and a laser to liquefy the fat in the glandular tissue. While extracting the fat, the surgeon performs body sculpting. The laser in the cannula burns the fat cells. oThe dead cells will be washed away naturally by your body. The procedure encourages the production of new collagen. It will make the skin around the breast look firmer and flat.

The whole gynecomastia treatment takes less than two hours.
