Los Angeles Male Breast Reduction – Gynecomastia

The self esteem of men around adolescence is rather delicate. The over development of breast tissue in males around this time is incredibly common and can have a devastating effect on self esteem. Excess breast tissue in men is called gynecomastia. This condition not only effects adolescent men but also older men, men on medications, or men that have lost significant weight. In the vast majority of cases, the cause is unknown. The only known physical remedy is  male breast reduction surgery.

Los Angeles Gynecomastia procedures can be performed under general anesthesia or under local anesthesia with intravenous sedation and takes between 1 and 2 hours. 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, extreme cases, skin may be removed from around the areola. Dr. Gross will work with you to determine the best course of action to produce optimal results for your situation.

Los Angeles plastic surgeon Doctor John Gross understands that a sensitive condition such as gynecomasita can be emotionally damaging causing anxiety over simple tasks like taking a shirt off at the beach. Dr. Gross offers his patients a safe, confidential environment to discuss male breast reduction procedures.

Tummy Tuck – Pasadena

For those unhappy with their mid-sections, a Tummy Tuck procedure may be the best option in achieving the results you desire. There are many reasons which can contribute to abdominal dissatisfaction. Oftentimes the effects of pregnancy or weight loss can leave people with excess sagging, hanging skin. What’s more is abdominal muscles which have become loose or separated, which also happens frequently in pregnancy, and can cause an abdomen to appear distended. Diet and exercise alone cannot improve a distended abdomen caused from loose or separated abdominal muscles or loose, sagging skin, but a Pasadena Abdominoplasty can improve these conditions.
