Approximately half of all men have breasts that are enlarged, a condition known as gynecomastia. In some cases, the cause is heredity or caused by hormonal activity within the body, while anabolic steroid use can also create this unwanted side effect.
Pec Etching?
Many men choose to combine a gynecomastia procedure with Pectoral Etching, a liposuction technique Dr. Mentz developed to give the chest a more athletic appearance. In a Pectoral Etching procedure, Dr. Mentz uses a detailed liposuction technique to outline the pectoralis muscle and axilla in order to reveal the muscular contours of the male chest.
Lipo Methods?
Dr. Mentz’s innovative lipocontouring techniques have generated international acclaim for their success in helping men to obtain muscular definition that can be difficult or impossible to achieve through workouts alone. He has presented his techniques to plastic surgeons around the globe and teaches a popular course on his liposuction methods at the respected American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery annual meeting.
Fat Vs. Breast Tissue?
Male breast reduction is not meant to treat excess fat in the pectoral region from obesity. Men are encouraged to be at a healthy, stable weight before and after the gynecomastia treatment to ensure the results of their surgery have long-lasting results.
