Male Breast Reduction
Gynecomastia is a benign enlargement of the male breast resulting from overgrowth of the breast gland. Some drugs and certain medical problems have been associated with the overdevelopment of the male breast, but there is no known cause in the majority of cases. Breast reduction surgery can help men who are self-conscious about the appearance of their chest.
In male breast reduction, fat and glandular tissue are removed from the breasts either by liposuction or direct excision through an incision around or through the nipple and areola. In extreme cases, excess skin may also be removed in order to produce a flatter, firmer chest.
Hair Replacement
Roughly 60% of American men (and 10% of women) are affected by hair loss, much of which is due to hereditary causes. Hair transplantation is a cosmetic procedure performed on patients have significant hair loss, thinning hair, or bald spots where hair no longer grows. Transplants can also be done to replace hair lost due to burns, injury, or diseases of the scalp. Typically, a small strip of scalp is removed from the back and sides of the head and implanted in the bald spots in the front and top of the head. Micro-hair transplantation, the technique used at the Bay Area Center for Plastic Surgery, is a state-of-the-art hair transplantation technique that has replaced “plugs” or larger grafts of hair.
