It can be very upsetting to have “man boobs” or what is technically known as gynecomastia. The excess fatty deposits and at times the development of breast tissue cause stress to a lot of men. Gynecomastia treatment in New York is provided by board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Wallach. Before considering surgery, you may try quick fixes to reduce the visibility of your chest or lose weight to get rid of it. Then again, you also have to know when it is time to undergo surgery.

Hiding Your Man Boobs

  • If you still do not have the time to get surgical treatment, you may opt for quick fixes such as wearing an overshirt. Do not button or tuck the overshirt. Use it over your regular t-shirt. The overshirt helps hide a prominent chest and is reasonably worn during social gatherings.
  • It is also a good idea to wear a collared shirt. Pick a shirt that fits you nicely. Choose a shirt that has loose sleeves and is wide enough to be easily buttoned even if you will leave it unbuttoned.
  • Look for a shirt that suits you. You can try various styles and colors without changing your wardrobe completely. If an overshirt won’t work, you can use a bandage cloth or a light material to bind the breast. It may feel uncomfortable, but it effectively and temporarily hides gynecomastia.

Staying Fit

Burn fat if you are overweight. Exercise burns fat overall and that includes the chest area. Although there is no assurance that gynecomastia will be treated with weight loss especially if the problem involves breast tissue, it is still worth a try. Moreover, staying fit is good for your body as well as your confidence. Losing weight means controlling your caloric intake and exercising regularly. Create a plan and be sure to stick to it. It takes time to achieve your goals, so learn to be patient.

Going for Surgery

When all else fails, you can count on plastic surgery to treat gynecomastia. Upon your consultation with Dr. Wallach, you will learn more about gynecomastia treatment including risks and potential complications. Also, you will know if you need liposuction or a combination of liposuction and direct excision. You do not have to deal with the detrimental effects of gynecomastia to your overall appearance and self-esteem. Request an appointment with Dr. Wallach today by calling 212-861-6400.

I’m so happy with the results from the Botox shots that Dr. Wallach performed on me. He spent a lot of time talking about the different fillers that would make my face look the most natural and youthful.
