Gynecomastia - Vaser Lipo for Man Boobs - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

There are men with pecs and then there are men with boobs! Overdeveloped male breasts, technically known as gynecomastia, is a nightmare for many men and adolescent boys, but unfortunately it's a reality for others.

Gynecomastia is a medical health condition, usually caused by an imbalance between the sex hormones testosterone and oestrogen. All men produce some oestrogen, which causes the breasts to grow, but they usually have higher levels of testosterone, which stops the oestrogen from causing breast tissue to grow. Gynecomastia occurs when men have either an abnormally low-level of testosterone in their body or too much oestrogen.

However hormone imbalance isn't the only culprit. Obesity, taking steroids, congenital abnormalities and rising levels of hormones during puberty can also enlarge the male chest area. Man boobs don't affect a man's health, and are therefore treated as a superficial condition, but that's not to say that the men who have them don't suffer psychological effects.

A number of choices are available to try to lose man boobs:

• Exercise - It's possible that mild cases of gynecomastia might be helped by certain exercises and workouts that are specifically devised to help tighten the muscles in the chest.

• Diet - Stay away from processed, packaged and deep-fried foods as they are all high in saturated fat. There is a high estrogen content in packaged food, which can encourage the swelling of the breasts. Cut out sugar and starchy foods and stick to lean meats and foods rich in protein. If you are heavy all over, not just the man boobs, then a low-fat, healthy diet is necessary.

• Vaser Lipo - This procedure, performed under local anaesthetic, uses advanced ultrasound technology. Small thin probes are inserted under the skin and emulsify the fat. The treatment is tissue-selective and therefore targets only the fat, while protecting surrounding tissues, veins, nerves, blood vessels from damage. The fat is then suctioned out. We perform our cosmetic procedures using local anaesthetic, as it's safer, simpler and quicker for the client. After the treatment our clients can return home and within a few days they can get back to their day-to-day activities.
