Although many people assume that the presence of “man boobs” is a result of weight gain or age, in reality, Gynecomastia, the condition that causes male breast tissue to develop, can affect healthy boys and men of any age. Gynecomastia is caused by an imbalance of hormones—specifically an increased presence of estrogen and / or reduced amount of testosterone.
Although in most instances this alteration of hormones is caused by natural changes, such as puberty, and therefore cannot be avoided, foods that are high in estrogen can modify your hormone levels, potentially worsening the effects of Gynecomastia. As a result, the […]
It is without a doubt that the first and most important step to a slimmer and tighter waistline and tummy is a private consultation with your board certified plastic surgeon.

Your plastic surgeon will provide all options available to achieve your aesthetic goals, recommend a suitable course of treatment, and discuss the likely […]

If you have been contemplating whether or not to undergo butt augmentation, you will be glad to hear that there are good outcomes for the procedure. In fact, when butt augmentation is done by way of fat grafting, patients have a higher chance of success and a new found love for their body.
But, what is a fat transfer? The fat transfer procedure for butt augmentation is when the plastic surgeon uses liposuction to remove excess fat from one area of the body and then purifies the fat cells and reinjects the cells back into the buttocks. This procedure has shown […]
A tummy tuck procedure works to flatten a patient’s abdomen by tightening the muscles of their abdominal wall while also removing extra fat and skin from the area. Despite the treatment’s ability to provide desirable results it is still major surgery and shouldn’t be entered into lightly. Patients are advised to carefully consider whether or not a tummy tuck is right for them and remember that the procedure isn’t an alternative to traditional weight loss achieved by exercise and healthy eating. Remember these points when asking yourself, “should I get a tummy tuck?”
However, a tummy tuck isn’t always appropriate. Here […]
When it comes to a full tummy tuck, it’s all about abdominal wall deformities.
Abdominal wall deformities consist of three components:
1) The presence of wrinkly or loose skin with stretch marks. Most patients suffer from these issues as they age, following pregnancy or after rapid weight loss.
2) Excess fatty tissue. This accumulated tissue is usually most prominent in the lower abdomen and the “love handles”.
3) Rectus muscle diastasis. This condition results from the separation of the anterior abdominal muscles. Patients affected by rectus muscle diastasis cannot improve the condition with exercise because once the abdominal muscles have relaxed and separated, the […]
Gynecomastia is the medical term used to describe enlarged male breasts, a condition that affects some 40% to 60% of men. The medical community has had a difficult time identifying any specific underlying causes (or accompanying medical issues). Some studies do demonstrate an increased incidence of gynecomastia in obese patients or those who regularly use certain drugs (anabolic steroids, spironolactone, Tagamet, marijuana and alcohol), but many sufferers may present the condition without the existence of these factors. Many sufferers experience diminished self-confidence and feel socially inhibited. The goal of male breast reduction treatment is to remove excess fat and glandular […]
While chin augmentation, technically known as genioplasty, is designed to improve the chin for a more balanced profile, our craniofacial plastic surgeon has found that for some patients, another benefit also exists: it can rejuvenate the neck and jawline.A neck lift or face lift is recommended for addressing tissue laxity in the area of the neck and lower face. This cosmetic surgical procedure repositions and removes excess skin and fat while also tightening lax muscles. The degree of laxity and droop of facial soft tissues is related to aging, sun exposure, smoking and genetics. A major determinant of the extent […]
