Expert Opinion

April 14, 2014 by Laura Casewell

10096026_xxlIt’s not only women who are opting for cosmetic procedures. Recent figures show that men are also going under the knife to look good. THSJ asked Dr Sanjay Rajpara

how SmartLipo Triplex can help men suffering with Gynecomastia.

Why should men be considering SmartLipo Triplex to treat Gynecomastia?

Up until now plastic surgery procedures or traditional liposuction have been the only available options for men. I believe men should explore new minimally invasive options as old surgical procedures are associated with more complications- and also they fail to tighten the skin causing irregularities and scarring.

As a minimally invasive technique, lasers have been used for treating Gynecomastia with encouraging results. SmartLipo Triplex is one step ahead as it has the ability to treat this condition with minimum invasion and down time and also ability to tighten the skin giving it the most desirable shape for the men’s chest.

What is SmartLipo Triplex and how does it work?

SmartLipo MPX is the first dual-wavelength laser system specifically designed for body sculpting and weight loss.  Unlike liposuction, which attacks solid fat, this safer alternative zaps fat cells with laser energy delivered through a cannula under the skin. The system’s proprietary pulsing format melts the fat tissue, which is then drained away as waste.

Cynosure’s FDA approved SmartLipo Triplex treatment is equipped with the ThermaGuide feature, which constantly measures the temperature under the skin and controls the output of energy. This ensures that the treatment area stays within a safe range so that it is hot enough to work efficiently, but not so hot as to cause the patient harm.

SmartLipo Triplex laser energy also coagulates the tissue reducing the bleeding; and has a unique ability to heat up the collagen. This results in new collagen formation with tightening of the skin. This in turn reduces the chances of having any loose skin left and sculpts the skin to the body’s contours. Gynecomastia treatment with SmartLipo Triplex causes fewer complications compared to standard surgery and lipolysis; with faster recovery and superior aesthetic results.

More men over 50 are choosing cosmetic surgery to reduce ‘moobs’

December 18, 2013 by Laura Casewell

13746038_xxlBrent Tanner, consultant plastic surgeon and council member of the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons, told Irish Mirror that most men want to avoid looking like their fathers.

“Men are increasingly aware of their looks, and many are seeking to take action to improve their appearance. The biggest change in recent years has been the number of men over 50 who are opting for plastic surgery,” he explained.

“Most of the men I see are regularly in the gym and eat sensibly. They’ve done their bit, and now want surgery to do the rest.  Most who are unhappy with their chests simply want their so-called man boobs reduced so they can feel confident on the beach,” he said.

Mr Tanner explained a smaller number of older men choose chest implants which can help them achieve a stronger, more defined appearance.

“The important thing for them to remember though is that if you do not keep up the exercise, it can look rather odd if your chest looks like it belongs to a 30-year-old and the rest of your body is flabby.”

As with any cosmetic procedure, it’s important patients review their expectations thoroughly before they decide to proceed. A lot of men I see tell me they simply want to avoid looking like their fathers,” he concluded.

Move Over Movember: Men Are More Interested In Reducing Their Moobs In November Than Growing Moustaches

November 4, 2013 by Laura Casewell

9844256_xxlWhile some men spend November growing a moustache, more are opting to banish their man-boobs instead, according to a top plastic surgeon.

The new trend, dubbed ‘Moobember’ is taking the UK by storm, with men of all ages seeking cosmetic treatment to rid themselves of their ‘moobs’ in time for the festive season.

Consultant plastic surgeon Mr Martin Coady says he has seen a year-on-year rise in the amount of men having cosmetic procedures which make them appear in better shape before the onslaught of Christmas parties begins.

November is the key month for men with moobs because it’s too late to get toned in the gym, says North Yorkshire-based expert Mr Coady.

“We see more and more men opting to have cosmetic procedures in November every year,” says Mr Coady. “”.

“Now the festive season starts in early December, many male patients realise they need a quicker-fix in the run-up to Christmas and New Year. They want to look their best, so the less invasive the procedure, the quicker the recovery.” he explains.

With plenty of non-surgical treatments available, Coady says treating men with ‘moobies’ can be simple and pain-free- and possibly much quicker than growing a moustache.

“The problem of man boobs, properly known as gynaecomastia, can be divided into two basic types – ‘true gynaecomastia’, where the breast like appearance is caused by an excess of glandular tissue, often caused by over-exposure to certain hormones, and ‘pseudogynaecomastia’, which is due to fatty tissue,” he says. 

“If the problem is ‘pseudogynaecomastia’ it can be treated using combined radiofrequency and ultrasound technology like Exilis, which non-surgically removes fat and tightens the skin.” he says. 

These findings support the 2013 figures from BAAPS which reported male breast reduction surgery had dropped by 18% in the UK- likely due to men seeking non-surgical alternatives.

Number of men opting for laser hair removal doubles in a year

October 21, 2013 by Laura Casewell

12437166_xlMen all over the UK are seeking professional help to rid themselves of hairy ‘hobbit feet’ according to a London dermatologist.

Dr Michael Prager said the number of men visiting his clinic to have laser hair removal on their feet had doubled since 2012. Despite the process regularly costing upwards for £700 for six sessions, he is booking around two people a day for the procedure.

“For men, feet are a big area, because they all go out in flip flops at the moment, that is the big craze,” he said. “The fashion has changed: men show more leg and they want their feet to look good.”

He also predicted that in the future this trend may extend to men getting rid of their leg hair altogether.
