For men living with gynecomastia, it can be a highly distressing condition. Although recently people have spoken in humour about man boobs or ‘moobs’, men who suffer from this condition can lead very unhappy and unsatisfactory lives. We also know that it is difficult enough to encourage men to see a normal doctor, so the idea of sending him off to have invasive surgery such as liposuction is near impossible. But Vaser Liposuction (or Lipo) is a non-invasive procedure that could change those men’s lives that live everyday with uncharacteristic breast enlargement.

So, what is Vaser Lipo? In the simple terms, it is a minimal-invasive procedure that removes fatty areas by using ultrasound technology to break down fatty deposits, which once turned into liquid are drained away by a cannula (a type of needle).

There are many benefits to Vaser Lipo which makes this procedure ideal for men who want to reduce their breast size. For starters, because this is a practically non-invasive procedure, there are minimal side-effects. Ultrasound technology does not damage the surrounding tissue like traditional liposuction would, and so the male patients would leave with almost no physical marks of their procedure, helping to reduce any embarrassment after treatment.

Cosmetic Treatment is Not Just For the Girls

male-chestMen of Britain! For the longest time, the world of cosmetic surgery has been almost exclusively aimed at women. But we all know what it’s like to suffer in silence too. Unsightly body hair, acne scarring, excessive sweating and moobs – they’ve always been embarrassing, but until recently, it didn’t seem like there was much we men could do about them.

The thing is – times have changed. Cosmetic treatments for men are no longer just for women or the rich and famous, they’re available for men of all ages that want to look and feel their best. If you care about yourself, then cosmetic treatments are a real possibility for the modern man.

Acne Scarring
It can be quietly crushing to your confidence to be an adult male with skin still scarred by teenage acne. It’s embarrassing at the time and if your skin has the ‘orange peel’ appearance created by severe acne. It can seriously affect the way you are around other people, especially people you find attractive. But as a man you can take action and do something about it

Male breast reduction with Vaser Lipo – video from Riverbanks Clinic

Call them what you like – male breasts, man boobs, moobs, whatever – the simple fact is that they’re embarrassing and most men who have them would like to get rid of them.

At Riverbanks Clinic we’ve been treating male patients for gynecomastia (that’s the technical term!) since we opened, with fantastic success rates.

As one of our recent patients says:

“I selected Vaser Lipo as I had read that it was less painful than other methods and the recovery was much sooner. I researched a few different clinics carrying out this procedure but felt Riverbanks offered much more in terms of a personal service rather than just another patient through the door. When meeting Ravi I felt my selection was justified and have been happy with the results ever since. Even after the procedure Ravi has kept in touch to review my progress which confirmed my initial thoughts of a much more personal service. In addition to that his staff make you feel very welcome and at ease from start to finish. Thanks again.”Eamonn, Dublin

Vaser lipo ‘moob reduction’ testimonial for Dr Ravi Jain

Posted by admin Posted Date: Tuesday, 16 March 2010 15:25 PM

Just thought I’d share my experience with all as am thrilled with results!

Thanks to Dr. Ravi Jain and Riverbanks Clinic.

For many years I had suffered in silence and became increasingly more conscious about my man-boobs, particularly as the left one was larger than the right one. I am 38 years old and although, not overweight, I tried dieting and started working out at the gym. After several months, the muscles in my pecs were getting larger, but this only emphasised the size of my moobs as the localised fat there wouldnt shift or reduce, no matter how much I worked out or dieted.

After much research I realised how common this problem actually is and in hindsight the size of my moobs in comparison to some stories and pictures Ive seen were maybe not excessive to other cases Id studied, but to myself they were large enough to cause me personal embarrassment and distress for years. T-shirts, polo shirts and fitted shirts always hung badly on me and made me feel booby and any tops with pocket details were definitely ruled out as this only emphasised my shape. Every time I walked past a shop front window or a mirror I would have to look at my profile or catch my reflection in the window and it was becoming an obsession – an obsession I had to break!

Gynecomastia – What does it look like?

Posted by admin Posted Date: Friday, 29 January 2010 13:04 PM

vaser-male-breast-beforeGynecomastia is often referred to as ‘man-boobs’ or ‘moobs’. There are several different forms and it is not always known why it develops. It can be seen in males as young as 9 right through to more elderly gentlemen. It is caused by the abnormal development of the mammary glands (or breast tissue) and can be very tender and uncomfortable.

Depending on the ‘type’ of gynecomastia, there are different treatments that can be undergone to reduce the effects. In young men it often becomes less noticeable and usually disappears entirely as they near their 20s.

In adolescent boys the gynecomastia starts like breast development in girls but stops whilst they are still small. It can appear in the form of a lump or more significant breast development. It is not unusual with over 60% of teenage boys expected to have it in some form. It is usually unnoticeable when wearing clothes and has disappeared by the time they have left puberty. Treatment is not usually given until past puberty unless it is a severe case that is causing emotional distress.
