Plastic Surgery for Men: Lyposculpting for Man Moobs an Alternative to Gynecomastectomy

Posted by in Personal Improvement

Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons have reported that there is a rise in male breast reduction surgery or Gynecomastectomy. Men are losing their inhibitions about having ‘cosmetic surgery’ and more than 1,000 men in 2008 had the operation done in Britain alone.

Young men and old who are ashamed to take off their shirts due to the size of their breasts are getting more informed about the surgery from internet sites which show them before and after pictures.  Knowing other men have had the procedure and seeing the results encourages them to have the operation.

Gynecomastia or man moobs, is partly genetic and partly due to lifestyle bad habits. Eating more processed foods and drinking tap water which is high in oestrogen, cause men to develop more breast tissue.

Besides the embarrassment to be seen at the local pool, divorced men who are all of a sudden back to dating want to build up their self-esteem by building a better body. Like women, men find stubborn areas such as their moobs, chin and tummy resistant to exercise and diet.

A gynecomastectomy is a plastic surgery procedure that involves cutting away excess breast tissue which causes risks and scarring. A new liposculpting technique is now available for men. Liposculpting uses a special laser to break down the fat and extract it by means of microsuction. The procedure lasts about an hour only using a local anesthetic to numb the area. Patients are sore from 2-4 days. With any surgery, find a reputable certified plastic surgeon that is skilled with liposculpting for the best results.
