Male Breast Tissue or Gynecomastia, Botox Day Next Tuesday 12/13!
Mused while watching It’s a Wonderful Life. “No one is a failure who has friends.”
December Botox Day will be on 12/13 NOT 12/20! That way you’ll be ready for those holiday parties.
Botox Day is Tuesday December 13 with discounts on Botox and fillers such as Juvederm. Botox is $13/unit or $195/syringe (normally $16/unit and $240/syringe) and fillers are 10% off. Voluma is an injectable filler that augments and lifts the cheeks.
Volbella is a new lip filler that DOES NOT exaggerate the lips but improves wrinkles and creases in the lips and the skin just above the lips. Studies show it lasts for about a year. Come in and see what it has done for Diane and Dianna.
Male breast tissue or gynecomastia causes an embarrassing prominence to the chest of many men. It often limits the activities that men do with their shirts off such as swimming and the beach. In fact, often men wear two shirts to help cover the prominence.
The causes can be from excessive breast tissue, fatty tissue, or both. During adolescence many men go through a period where breast tissue is noticeable but it usually involutes. If not, a mass beneath the areola can be felt. The development of fatty tissue to the chest usually occurs with aging and weight gain just like “love handles”. Low testosterone and other hormone imbalances, medications, and excessive alcohol have been linked to gynecomastia.
(Did You Know? Recuperation is modest with most men being able to return to a “desk job” after a long weekend.)
The treatment is based on the cause. Surgical removal of breast tissue will improve the prominence. Liposuction removes the extra fatty tissue to improve the contour. Again, both treatments simultaneously may be necessary. Interestingly, exercising the chest muscle pushes out the deformity making it more noticeable as spot reduction of fat does not work.
LA DOLCE VITA:
Tony Bennett’s cool at 90. He has 110 albums, 81 singles and 19 Grammys. He fought on the front line in Germany, marched with Martin Luther King Jr. at Selma, kicked a cocaine habit and sketched Lady Gaga naked for charity. His philosophy is performing makes people happy, and that makes him happy also. This season let’s try to make others a little happier too.

New Kybella for fat under your chin!!!
Kybella is an injected solution that melts the fat under your chin. From the same company that brings you Botox and Juvederm, the process is without anesthesia and usually takes 30 minutes. Recommended are 2-3 treatments but down time is minimal. Call for more information or to set up a complimentary consultation to see if you are a good candidate and what the costs would be.
Eyebrows too thin or lacking? Microblading is a technique of applying permanent makeup with individual strokes simulating individual hairs. Each stroke is purposely placed to mimic the natural flow of eyebrow hairs. Not the old way of coloring in the eyebrow area.
Facial brown spots from this summer’s sun? Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT) or microneedling helps to reduce the pigment cells. Purchase a package of three treatments and get the fourth FREE. Go to www.dermapen.com for details of CIT. Also improves wrinkles through stimulation of collagen on the face, neck and chest areas.
