In some cases, hormonal imbalances can also contribute to the problem. Dr Lanzer has encountered many patients who still dealt with man boobs, even without the presence of overweight. Man boobs liposuction surgery executed by an experienced cosmetic surgery can provide the solution for these particular cases, so let us examine the procedure and our male breast reduction before and after case studies for a clearer view of man boobs liposuction surgery.

What Was Done For The Patient In These Male Breast Reduction Before And After Photographs?

The patient in this male breast reduction before and after case study was suffering from a serious case of gynaecomastia, better known under the name man boobs. This did not only present emotional problems, but also physical problems. Due to the presence of this problem, the man in this male breast reduction before and after case study also suffered from bad self-esteem.

To fix the problem presented in this male breast reduction before and after case study, both Dr Lanzer and the patient chose gynaecomastia surgery with liposuction. The patient had breast tissue removed on the lower half of the nipple, this was done through a small incision. Thanks to the surgical procedure, the patient enjoyed a more masculine shaped chest and a better self-confidence.

What Is Important To Know About Male Breast Reduction Procedures?

Gynaecomastia treatment is also known as male chest reduction. During this procedure, a surgeon will remove excess fat from the male chest. Dr Lanzer has many years of experience with these procedures and has executed many of these liposuction procedures over the years.

Problems such as man boobs are caused by excess fat developing in the male breast area. Many people associate man boobs with overweight, but this is not always the case. A lot of men undergoing diets and exercise sometimes find that the man boobs remain, giving them serious problems with self-esteem and confidence. Subsequently, these men look at surgical treatments to find a solution for breast growth when diet and exercise are not working.

A liposuction procedure will take care of the excess fat that is causing the man boobs. There are also various types of surgery procedures that could be a consideration for this kind of problem, including Vaser, micro lipo and the surgical liposuction. Vaser liposuction is the least invasive treatment for man boobs and there is no need for a full general anaesthetic.

Patients can also choose the micro liposuction, where cannulas are used to eliminate the fat from the breast area. This procedure also has some specific benefits, more specifically a reduced risk of irregularities in the skin.

There is also an additional option, surgical liposuction, this option is usually considered when Vaser or micro liposuction are not an option. This procedure involves removing excess fat and glandular tissue, which means it applies to patients that also have a lot of tissue to remove in addition to fat.

Patients must remember that weight gain could cause a problem such as man boobs to return. Therefore, you must maintain a healthy diet and get plenty of exercise after your procedure.

In some cases, the male breast can be so heavy it has started to sag over time. In turn, this can have affected the breast muscles. In some cases, the cosmetic surgeon may need to implement a breast lift to restore the patient’s athletic physique. 

How Long Will I Be Out After Man Boobs Liposuction Surgery?

Downtime usually depends on the type of surgery you have. The downtime of Vaser and micro liposuction is usually less than traditional liposuction surgery, although the side-effects are usually the same. Most patients who have undergone either of these procedures are usually able to get back to their regular activities quickly. The less invasive procedures will require you to take some downtime of 48 to 72 hours, however, the exact recovery time does depend on the evaluation of Dr Lanzer and the type of procedure you went for. In procedures that have breast tissue removed as well as fat, the recovery time is usually longer. Patients may also be required to take pain medication to manage any discomfort after leaving our surgery centre.
