:: Gynecomastia ::
Dr. Korman is an expert in Gynecomastia, is a common condition in men.
Gynecomastia is the technical term for the overgrowth of breast tissue ( and sometimes fat) in the area of the chest. There are several reasons why extra breast tissue can develop in men. Sometimes it can appear after the use of anabolic steroids; other times it can be the result of certain medications. Most commonly though, there is no specific reason why some men develop extra breast tissue. Once it develops, there is no non-surgical treatment that is effective. Fortunately, surgery is very effective to permanently remove the extra breast tissue. Dr. Korman uses VASER liposelection

Gynecomastia (fat and excess tissue in the breast/chest) is effectively removed with ultrasonic liposuction in most situations. After these procedures many can return to work in just a few days.
Computer imaging helps Dr. Korman and the patient to get a sense of what can be an expected outcome. Liposuction should be viewed as the first step rather than the last step in achieving the desired "look". Proper diet and exercise is crucial to ensuring an ideal outcome.
