Male body plastic surgery in Atlanta by Dr. Teri N. Moak addresses various concerns, including abdominal etching for a sculpted abdomen, and gynecomastia surgery for reducing excess male breast tissue. Achieve a more defined and confident appearance.
Abdominal etching
Abdominal etching is a specialized liposuction technique designed to create the appearance of a sculpted, six-pack abdomen. Dr. Moak carefully removes excess fat and contours the abdominal muscles, highlighting their natural definition. This is ideal for individuals who are already fit but struggle to achieve the desired muscle definition through diet and exercise alone. By precisely targeting fat deposits, abdominal etching enhances the visibility of the abdominal muscles, providing a chiseled and athletic look that complements your overall physique.
Abdominal etching can treat the following:
- Stubborn fat deposits around the abdomen that resist diet and exercise
- Lack of visible muscle definition in the abdominal area
- Imbalance in abdominal contour due to genetics or body composition
What happens during your abdominal etching procedure?
During abdominal etching, Dr. Moak will administer anesthesia to ensure you are pain-free. She will make small, strategically placed incisions along the natural contours of your abdomen. Through these incisions, Dr. Moak will use specialized liposuction techniques to remove excess fat and sculpt the underlying muscles, creating the appearance of a defined six-pack. The incisions are then closed with sutures, and you will be placed in a compression garment to minimize swelling and support your new abdominal contours during the healing process.
What is the recovery following abdominal etching?
After abdominal etching, you will need to wear a compression garment to minimize swelling and support your new contours. You may experience some discomfort, bruising, and swelling, which should subside within a few weeks. Dr. Moak will provide detailed post-operative instructions, including guidelines for managing pain and caring for your incisions. Most patients can return to light activities within a week after this male body plastic surgery in Atlanta, but you should avoid strenuous exercise for about 4-6 weeks. The final results will become more apparent as the swelling decreases.
Gynecomastia surgery
Gynecomastia surgery addresses the enlargement of male breast tissue caused by hormonal imbalances, obesity, or medication. The procedure involves the removal of excess breast tissue and often includes liposuction to enhance chest contour. Depending on the severity, incisions are made around the areola or along the pectoral muscle’s border. The goal is to create a flatter, more masculine chest appearance. This outpatient surgery, conducted under general anesthesia, can help you achieve a more chilled and masculine chest.
Gynecomastia surgery can treat the following:
- Excess male breast tissue
- Imbalanced or asymmetrical chest appearance
- Self-consciousness or discomfort due to enlarged breast tissue
- Breast lumps or tenderness in men
- Persistent breast tissue despite weight loss or medication changes
- Emotional distress related to chest appearance
What happens during your gynecomastia surgery?
During your gynecomastia surgery, an Anesthesiologist administers general anesthesia to ensure your comfort. Dr. Moak will make an incision around the areola or along the natural crease of your chest, depending on the extent of tissue removal needed. Through these incisions, Dr. Moak will excise excess breast tissue and may use liposuction to enhance chest contour. The incisions are closed with sutures, and you will be placed in a compression garment to reduce swelling and support your chest as it heals.
What is the recovery following gynecomastia surgery?
After gynecomastia surgery, you will need to wear a compression garment to reduce swelling and support your chest. You may experience some pain, bruising, and swelling, which typically subside within a few weeks. Dr. Moak will provide detailed post-operative care instructions and prescribe pain medication to manage discomfort. Most patients can return to work and light activities within a week, but strenuous activities should be avoided for about 4-6 weeks. Your chest will gradually assume its new, more masculine shape within a few months.
