The male breast is composed of glandular tissue and fatty tissue. An excess in either type of tissue can cause the chest to take on the look of gynecomastia. Gynecomastia can affect #men of all different body types. There are different types of #gynecomastia.According to official statistics, 36% of adult young men and 57% of older #adult men in the United States have this medical condition in one of the four grades. About 200,000 to 3 million cases of #gynecomastia are being reported every single year. So if you have #breast #enlargement and you feel you're an exception, please understand that 1 in 3 young adult #men and 1 in 2 older adult men are just like you and have breast #enlargement.Several common factors can cause gynecomastia including excessive levels of #estrogen, natural #hormone changes, use of recreational drugs or alcohol, medications and their associated side effects, and, various health conditions. Also, there are different types of #gynecomastia.There are three types of surgical #treatment #options available that treat gynecomastia. Your board-certified plastic surgeon will recommend the type best suited for you. The most important decision to be made before performing any surgical procedure is determining whether you are an ideal #candidate.
Gynexin is snake oil. The company offers no data - as is so typical of these "natural"/herbal charlatans.BUT - all plastic surgery programs have a clinic for the graduating residents...these are folks who have trained for the better part of a decade and are just about to go into practice...they do surgery for minimal costs and are supervised by a faculty member. i do this with UCLA residents and the patients receive better care - dare i say - than what patients get in the community from many doctors in practice.Call the big university hospital near you and get in touch with the plastic surgery department.
Liposuction alone will not work for true gynecomastia since liposuction removes fat and not breast tissue. Supplements may work minimally for some patients, but the company claims that the pill works on breast tissue and fat without any data from controlled, randomized studies to back up their claims. The other thing to consider is that even if the supplement works, you would have to continue it for life to maintain the effect, which is going to be very costly in the long term. If you cannot afford surgery, you can ask surgeons about a modified approach (such as performing the procedure under mainly local anesthesia with pill sedation to avoid the cost of anesthesia). This approach is harder to tolerate, and it may be harder to be as aggressive, but it can work well for some patients, and it can save patients a significant amount of money. You may also inquire about payment plans or financing, which some practices offer to help spread out costs.
I know of no FDA approved non surgical/non invasive treatment for gynecomastia. If you are seeking non surgical options for mild gynecomastia, I think that Vanquish which uses RF energy, or UltraShape that uses ultrasound rather than Cool Sculpt would be the best option though all are off FDA usage. Surgery is the best option for the vast majority of patients with gynecomastia.#gynecomastia#malebreastreduction
Unfortunately, the only sure fix to gynecomastia is surgery (lipo with gland excision). Herbal remedies have no proven track record.
No pills or creams can reduce the size of your breasts. You can try diet and exercise, although this will only help if you have excess fat in the area, and not glandular tissue.
I do not know of any medication that is effective in treating gynecomastia. I suggest consulting with a plastic surgeon to review your options. Good luck and be safe.John T. Nguyen, MD, FACS, FICSDouble Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
Despite various claims made in favour of Gynexin, online or offline, there is no conclusive scientific study or evidence supporting any of them at the moment.Surgery remains your best option if you want results.
Gynexin is a nonprescription dietary supplement which reportedly works as an herbal fat burnerand can be used to treat gynecomastia. Unfortunately, there is no scientificdata to confirm its effectiveness. Based on the currentinformation available, it does not appear that gynexin has a role in themanagement of gynecomastia. In the majority of patients, surgery still appearsto be the best option. In patients suffering from this condition, consultationwith a board certified plastic surgeon would be an appropriate next step.The
It is difficult to provdie you with any data regarding this product as it is clearly not something that is in mainstream use. I know that sounds self-serving. However, as a profession, I tend to see those patients who have failed Gynexin rather than the ones that have had successful outcomes.
Thanks for the question. If necessary, gynecomastia can be repeated 2-3 times depending on the operation area. I wish you all the best.
Usually you should expect 2 weeks of swelling. If it's swishy and moves around it is likely a seroma which can be easily drained in clinic by your surgeon using a painless needle. This is a procedure known as an aspiration. An ultrasound can diagnose it for sure but it is rarely required to make...
Your body will be going through a healing phase. Scar tissue is certanly present and requires time to resolve. The shape sometimes takes four to six weeks to see the outcome. The swellig needs to come down during this time frame. The sharp pains will resolve as well.
