Essential Guidelines for Seeking Gynecomastia Treatment
Gynaecomastia is a medical condition characterised by the enlargement of breast tissue in males. It results in the appearance of breasts that may be swollen, tender, or have a firm or rubbery texture. This condition can occur at any age but is most common during infancy, puberty, and older age.
Gynaecomastia is caused by an imbalance in the hormones estrogen and testosterone. Estrogen, often considered a female hormone, can be present in males in small amounts. When the balance between estrogen and testosterone is disrupted, either due to hormonal changes, medications, or underlying health conditions, it can lead to the development of gynecomastia. Other potential cases can include various medications, obesity, recreational drugs, and certain medical conditions. In many cases, the cause of a patient’s gynecomastia is unknown. Regardless of the underlying cause, surgical male breast reduction may provide an effective option for addressing this condition.
Vaser Pro Liposuction can be a viable treatment option for gynecomastia, particularly in cases where breast enlargement is primarily due to excess fat rather than glandular tissue.
- Fat Removal: Vaser Pro Liposuction uses ultrasound energy to selectively target and break down fat cells in the treatment area. During the procedure, small incisions are made, and a thin cannula is inserted to deliver ultrasound energy, which liquefies the fat cells. Prior to the insertion of the cannula, tumescent is distributed around the area to help numb and disrupt the fat cells in the targeted area. The liquefied fat is then removed from the body through suction.
- Precision: Vaser Pro Liposuction allows for precise contouring of the chest area, enabling Dr. Glenn Murray (AHPRA Registration MED0001196978) Registered Medical Practitioner, Specialist General Practitioner (specialist registration in general practice to remove excess fat while preserving surrounding tissues, including nerves and blood vessels.
While Vaser liposuction may be a suitable treatment option for gynecomastia, it is a legal requirement to obtain a GP referral before meeting with Dr. Glenn Murray (AHPRA Registration MED0001196978) Registered Medical Practitioner, Specialist General Practitioner (specialist registration in general practice). Following this, an additional consultation and a 7-day cooling-off period are required before scheduling the procedure.
