Gynecomastia or overdevelopment of male breast tissue is typically caused by hereditary factors, obesity, or hormonal imbalances. Men of any age can be affected by the condition. Gynecomastia treatment in Manhattan is an effective procedure to address this concern and achieve a well-defined manly chest. The procedure is performed using the FDA-approved Smartlipo Triplex device. The procedure involves removing the excess fat and tissue and contouring the chest to provide a more natural appearance. The laser assisted Smartlipo device combines three different wavelengths (1440nm, 1320nm and 1064 nm) for dissolving fat, coagulating tissue and tightening the surrounding skin.
During the consultation, NYC plastic surgeons will provide guidelines for handling recovery and achieving optimal results. Make sure to strictly follow those instructions diligently.
