The End of the Man-Boob

Women are the greatest consumers of plastic surgery procedures, comprising about 85% of my practice. I think there are many reasons for that, including childbearing, age discrimination, and others that could be a topic for another blog.

Men come, generally, to have a few things touched up. They come for Botox when their scowls make them look "too mean" to make a sale. They come for liposuction when they can't get a handle on their love-handles. They come to have their heavy eyelids removed, so they don't look so tired. And, more often than ever now, they come to get rid of their man-boobs. Our professional term for "man-boobs" is "gynecomastia.

There are a few ways to get rid of man-boobs, including laser-assisted liposuction and direct excision (cutting out the extra tissue). The scars are minimal and so is the down-time.

In fact, the procedure can often be done in the office under local anesthesia. Southside Steve, one of The Regular Guys from Rock 100.5, had his procedure done in my office a few months ago and took the time to create a YouTube video about it. My disclaimer here is that I had no editorial control over the video and it probably won't appeal to all of you. View at your own risk.

Fox News ran a story today about man-boobs and the trend of getting rid of them. Thought you might be interested.
