The Ideal Candidate
Smokers and those with blood clotting problems might be advised to avoid this procedure. It is very important to have realistic expectations, which your surgeon will help you with during your consultation. While you will obtain results right away, it is important to mention that these results will continue to improve over time. Your participation in all of our instructions and lifestyle advice is essential to achieving success. Ideal candidates for male breast reduction include patients who:
- Are close to their ideal body weight
- Do not have any serious health conditions
- Have breast development that has stabilized
- Are not on any medications that inhibit healing
What is Gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia is a condition in which males have excess glands and tissue in their chest, giving the appearance of breasts. It is usually caused by an imbalance in the male and female hormones in the body. If a male produces too little testosterone and too much estrogen they can develop what’s known to many as man boobs. There can also be other causes for excessive breast tissue in men. This condition can often become apparent in early adolescence but usually corrects itself naturally as males get older.
If it doesn’t go away by the time a male reaches adulthood, there could be medical or even genetic factors at play. Some of the other common causes of gynecomastia include:
- Genetics: If there is a family history of this hormonal imbalance
- Certain Cancers: There are cancers of certain glands that can cause the hormonal imbalance
- Medications: Some medications have been known to cause excessive tissue to form
- Aging: Some men experience hormone shifts as they age
- Weight Gain or Loss: Fluctuations in weight can cause excessive breast tissue to form
Your Informative Consultation
At Avalon Lipo & Aesthetics, we value the safety of each of our patients. That’s why we’ll visit with you during your consultation to ensure that you’re a candidate for any of the various procedures we offer. Since we use a combination of liposuction procedures for male breast reduction, we require that you meet certain qualifications to be a candidate for the procedure. We’ll help you land on the procedure that’s right for you. Once you are scheduled for a consultation with Dr. Tirgari, he will ask you about your medical history to learn more about any past conditions as well as your lifestyle and physical health. He will also give you an idea of how much fat can be reduced in your problem area and what results can be obtained from the procedure. Once you’ve decided to undergo male breast reduction, Dr. Tirgari will schedule you for the surgery.
The Procedure and Recovery
Given his education and special training, Dr. Tirgari can perform tumescent liposuction on the chest. With this technique, you are given local anesthesia instead of the general anesthesia used in traditional liposuction. You will also be given a sedative to make you relaxed and slightly sedated while the procedure is being performed. Next, Dr. Tirgari will insert a laser-guided cannula or suctioning device into the area beneath the top layers of the skin called the subcutaneous area. This is where the fat cells are deposited. He will then move the laser instrument back and forth to reach all the fat deposits that need to be melted. Once the fat is converted into a liquefied form, it will be suctioned out from the chest. This process also promotes the release of collagen, which makes the skin of the treated area tighter.
Avalon Laser Reviews
Briana and sophie were absolutely amazing and would recommend to everyone!
Sophie gave me the most incredible experience for my first facial!
Professional and very effective! Love it!
They provide the best service and are committed to high-quality, safe and effective practices.
10/10 experience!! It was my first time getting any aesthetic treatment done so I was quite nervous, but the ladies here made sure to answer all my questions with full transparency and make me feel comfortable. Raiza did an exceptional job with addressing all of my needs and gave me exactly what I wanted. She was super gentle and I honestly did not feel any pain during my lip filler and tox which was surprising because I have a very low pain tolerance. She also made sure to educate me on what to do post treatment and I’m healing very well. I would also like to mention that my skin is absolutely glowing after my facial with Rhea. I couldn’t be more happier with my treatments here and I’ll definitely be back!

Your Recovery Period
After your procedure at our facility, you will be given some recovery time, after which you are free to leave the clinic as long as you feel good and you have a ride. You will head out with post-operative instructions as well as pain medications, should you need them. You will fully recover within just a few days, though you will be advised not to exercise or perform any vigorous physical activities for a few weeks. In some cases, Dr. Tirgari will administer surgical garments to aid in the healing process. Follow-up care will also be scheduled by Dr. Tirgari who will see you to make sure that the incisions are healing normally, and that the desired results were obtained. We’ll provide you with detailed aftercare instructions and a thorough timeline for your recovery experience.
