    Male Breast Reduction Surgery Dallas – Dr. Sam Jejurikar Liposuction Specialist

    Tag Archives: Dallas liposuction

    Gynecomastia, or male breast development, is a common, yet embarrassing, condition for many men.  There is oftentimes a social stigma associated with gynecomastia, which limits clothing choices and can cause men to avoid removing their shirts in public.  Many men are too embarrassed to seek medical treatment for this condition.

    Ironically, male breast reduction surgery is one of the most commonly performed procedures for men.  In the most common variety of this operation, ultrasound-assisted liposuction is used to remove excessive breast tissue and fat, to provide a flatter, less feminine contour to the chest.  In more severe cases, because of significant droopiness to the nipple and areola (pigmented skin around the nipple), incisions need to be made to remove extra skin.

    Obviously, the goal with every patient is to provide the best cosmetic results with the least amount of scarring.  For that reason, every effort is made to achieve the final result with liposuction and utilization of a compression garment to facilitate postoperative skin shrinking.

    If you have any questions, call Dr. Jejurikar’s office at 214-827-2814 to schedule a consultation.

    I’m struck by the number of patients who come in seeking liposuction, but really need abdominoplasty surgery (tummy tuck).  There are important differences between tummy tuck and liposuction, which help determine which procedure is right for you.

    During liposuction, a blunt cannula is used to suction fat through multiple tiny incisions. Although many types of liposuction are available, including standard tumescent liposuction, ultrasound liposuction (VASER), power-assisted liposuction, tickle liposuction (vibroliposuction), etc., no skin is removed with any type of liposuction.  The best liposuction candidates maintain a healthy lifestyle and have focal fat deposits not responsive to diet and exercise..  Liposuction is not effective as a means for major weight loss.  Liposuction is not effective in treating skin with stretch marks, which are signs of irreversible skin injury, or muscle looseness, all of which is common after pregnancy or massive weight loss. In fact, in a patient who really needs a tummy tuck, liposuction may worsen the patient’s appearance. However, in patients close to their ideal body weight, without significant stretch marks, liposuction can be highly effective in treating extra fat of the love handles, thighs, back, arms, neck, calves and ankles.

    Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) is usually a far better option for patients who have experienced massive weight loss or multiple pregnancies. Most of these women have extra abdominal skin with stretch marks, and separation of the abdominal wall muscles (rectus diastasis).  The muscle looseness gives the impression of an upper abdominal bulge and a lower abdominal skin apron. These women are great candidates for a tummy tuck, particularly if they are close to their ideal body weight. With removal of the extra abdominal skin, tightening of the abdominal muscles, and reshaping of the belly button, achieving a youthful appearance to the abdomen is often possible!
