Los Angeles breast reduction isn’t always performed on women. More men will develop gynecomastia than won’t, for a number of reasons. Basically, gynecomastia is simply an abnormal enlargement of one or both of the breast areas on a male’s chest. Of course, though “man boobs” aren’t necessarily threatening to physical health, they can be a source of self-consciousness that men thus afflicted may be hesitant to discuss even with a doctor. Los Angeles plastic surgeon Steven Teitelbaum saw the need to provide men with a better way to privately learn more about their options for dealing with gynecomastia, and one part of his efforts to fill that need took the form of a web site devoted expressly to gynecomastia treatment.

Gynecomastia Treatment Options in Los Angeles, CA

Men and women both suffer dissatisfaction with their bodies from time to time. This is true even for breasts. Women may feel their breasts are too small, whereas if breasts appear at all on a man, they’re too big. The appropriate term for these ‘man-boobs’ is gynecomastia. Unlike women, however, who talk to each other about breast surgery, men just don’t discuss how to lose man boobs. Talking about your man-boobs, even with friends, much less a doctor, is an embarrassment.

To help men learn about and consider treatment options for gynecomastia, Dr. Steven Teitelbaum of Santa Monica launched BeverlyHillsGynecomastia.com. The internet affords considerable anonymity, where a man can research his situation and his options in peace, without subjecting himself to embarrassing scrutiny.

Types Of Gynecomastia Recovery – Risks – Patients

There are many gynecomastia patients who are men that never lost the extra bit of puffiness they had on their chest while going through puberty. According to Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, Dr. Steven Teitelbaum who performs male breast reduction in Beverly Hills, these people cannot see the outline of their pecs no matter what they do, even if they are fit or work out. Some men may have this problem due to steroid use for weight lifting. These steroids can cause a rapid growth of breast tissue. For the men that weight lift, they can usually feel a very firm “marble” or “walnut.” Many other men suffer from woman-like breasts as a side-effect of some recreational drugs or prescription medications.

As a man who himself has been frustrated with shirts clinging to his chest, Dr. Teitelbaum will be able to relate to what you tell him about how gynecomastia bothers you.

The development of gynecomastia, also called “man-boobs,” is more common than you may think, and happens to most men to one extent or another. It’s important to remember that there are always options, and Dr. Teitelbaum will discuss yours with you. Like tailoring a fine suit, male breast reduction surgery is about creating a more handsome, sculpted chest.

There are two main types of tissue involved in gynecomastia, one of which does not respond well to liposuction, so it should come as no surprise that multiple techniques are often used in tandem to accomplish the goal. Fatty tissue can be liposuctioned away, whereas the tougher, fibrous tissue often associated with gynecomastia must be excised. Dr. Teitelbaum will help you become familiar with the pros and cons, as well as how your unique physique will affect your male breast reduction surgery.

Restoring The Feeling Of Masculinity Is Achievable With Male Breast Reduction

Like starting to shave, the lowering of one’s voice, or developing an Adam’s Apple, a flat and strong looking chest is seen as a sign of masculinity. It is humiliating to have a chest that looks even the slightest bit feminine. The opposite is seen in women when a woman seeks breast augmentation and says, “I look like a boy and just want to feel feminine.” And though men never make the opposite statement – probably because the words are too hard to say – it is probably in the back of their minds. Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, Dr. Steven Teietelbaum, performs male breast reduction at his Beverly Hills male breast reduction surgery center. As shy as some flat-chested women are about men seeing their chest naked, they tend not to have the same level of shame or humiliation as do men with gynecomastia. It is very common that even men with the mildest forms of gynecomastia never want to take their shirt off, wear loose clothes over a tight undershirt, and spend time in front of a mirror pushing their chest back to make it look flatter.

Gynecomastia can be emotionally devastating. A man or boy with gynecomastia struggles with anxiety over such simple acts as taking off his shirt at the beach. For men who feel self-conscious about their appearance, breast-reduction surgery can help. Male breast reduction removes fat and or glandular tissue from the breasts and in extreme cases removes excess skin, resulting in a chest that is flatter, firmer, and better contoured.

Male Breast Reduction Gets Rid of Embarrassment

Gynecomastia can be performed under general anesthesia or under local anesthesia with intravenous sedation and takes between 1 and 2 hours. Male breast reduction is a plastic surgery procedure where the reduction of breast volume can many times be accomplished with ultrasound assisted liposuction. In some cases, a small incision may need to be made in order to remove tissue directly. In rare cases, skin may be removed from around the areola.
Initial recovery time for gynecomastia is from 7 to 10 days. The complete recovery time is from 4 to 6 weeks. This means no heavy exercise such as lifting weights, vigorous workouts at the gym, or any other strenuous activity. It may take at least 6 months to a year for the final results.
