Gynecomastia Surgery: Fixing Man Boobs
Gynecomastia—enlarged male breasts—affects up to 50% of men at some point in life, often due to hormonal imbalances, puberty, or anabolic steroid use.
Types of Gynecomastia & Treatment Options – Puberty-related gynecomastia: Often resolves on its own, but surgery may be needed if it persists. – Steroid-induced gynecomastia: Caused by testosterone converting to estrogen, requiring glandular tissue removal. – Pseudogynecomastia (fat-only): Treated with liposuction alone. – True gynecomastia (gland + fat): Requires tissue excision + liposuction.
Gynecomastia Surgery Techniques – Liposuction-only: For fatty deposits (minimal scarring, quick recovery). – Combination lipo + gland excision: For firm, glandular tissue (incisions hidden around the areola). – Skin tightening (for severe cases): If excess skin remains, a chest lift may be needed.
Recovery: Most men return to work in 3-7 days, with full gym workouts after 4-6 weeks.
Liposuction: Slimming & Sculpting
Liposuction is one of the most popular male cosmetic procedures, helping remove stubborn fat that doesn’t respond to diet and exercise.
Types of Liposuction for Men – Traditional liposuction: Best for overweight men needing bulk fat removal (abdomen, love handles). – High-definition liposuction (VASER/j plasma-assisted): Enhances muscle definition, ideal for six-pack abs and athletic sculpting .
Best Areas for Male Liposuction: ✔ Love handles ✔ Stomach (“beer belly”) ✔ Chest (for pseudogynecomastia) ✔ Double chin ✔ Inner thighs
Recovery: 1-2 weeks downtime, with compression garments for 4-6 weeks.
Body Lift Surgeries for Weight Loss & Toning
After massive weight loss, men often struggle with sagging skin that won’t tighten with exercise. Body lift procedures remove excess skin and fat for a firmer, more contoured look.
A. Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) – Full tummy tuck: Removes excess skin + tightens abdominal muscles (ideal for post-weight-loss patients). – Mini tummy tuck: Less invasive, focuses on lower belly fat. – Extended tummy tuck (with monsplasty): Also lifts the pubic area for a smoother transition .
Recovery: 2-4 weeks before light activity, 6 weeks for heavy lifting.
B. Arm Lift (Brachioplasty) – Removes “bat wings” (sagging upper arm skin). – Incisions are hidden in the inner arm. – Often combined with liposuction for better contouring .
C. Thigh Lift (Thighplasty) – Inner thigh lift: Tightens sagging inner thighs. – Outer thigh lift: Reshapes hips and thighs. – Spiral thigh lift: Combines both for 360° contouring.
Recovery: 2-3 weeks before returning to work, 6 weeks for full healing.
D. Buttock Lift – Removes sagging skin for a firmer backside. – Can be combined with fat grafting (Brazilian Butt Lift) for added volume.
