MyBodyMD Plastic Surgery Gynecomastia | Male Breast Reduction Houston, TX
Hi. I'm Doctor Rafi Bidros from MyBodyMD here in Houston, Texas and today I'm gonna talk about Gynecomastia, which we refer to as male breast. And why do men get it? How common is it? And what do we do to treat it? So, it's actually one of the most common things we do around here in this clinic. We get a lot of patients from around the city, from other towns also, just embarrassed about male breasts.
So, why does it occur? Actually, up to 25% of men can get it. It can just be genetic. It showed up during puberty and it just never went away. Sometimes, it's related to weight. Sometimes, it's related to supplements, hormonal changes. So, all these things can impact it. However, sometimes, no matter what you do, it doesn't go away and I think a lot of guys are embarrassed about it. They don't want to take off their t-shirt or even embarrassed in clothing and have to wear extra t-shirts just to cover up the male breasts.
The good thing is that the treatment is really easy. A lot of times, a lot of the guys after treatment, they say they wish they had done it a lot earlier. Now, the treatment can differ a lot depending on the severity. Sometimes, it's as easy as liposuction, an hour procedure and it's gone. Sometimes, it's a little bit more involved if we need to remove more skin, if they have, if you will, a D-Cup breast.
So, it depends. If it's a small excess breast tissue, the treatment is a little bit easier. The bigger the amount of breast tissue that we need to remove, the more complicated the procedure is. But even at its most complicated, it's still doable and patients are extremely happy after they do it and they wish they had done it earlier. So, I think if you're a guy and you're embarrassed about Gynecomastia or male breast, I think, you know, you just need to do something about it and have one of us plastic surgeons see you and do this treatment.
What I bring to the table here is ... Sometimes we do what's called minimally invasive treatment, where we minimize the incisions, especially for the smaller breasts. So, it's inconspicuous. So, you could take your shirt off on the beach and no one will tell if it's a surgical treatment or not. And the key is, sometimes, not to over-treat and create a depression, so it takes an artistic eye to get it right. So, I think you'd be pleased to come see us here at MyBodyMD and see how we can help you. So, thank you.
Dr. Bidros is absolutely phenomenal! I was SO impressed with his professionalism and knowledge. The office was super organized, clean and efficiently run. Michelle, Mandy, Jackie and Connie are all rock stars.!!! They get things done and are so incredible at their jobs, not to mention classy and beautiful. I will recommend Dr. Bidros to everyone. So easy to talk to and understand. Thank you!!!
Dr Bidros and his entire staff is wonderful, they made me feel so comfortable the very 1st time I meet them, he is the best plastic surgeon I have ever meet and would recommend him highly to anyone needing plastic surgery, his work is awesome.
Dr. Bidros and his staff are truly wonderful. After three bouts with cancer, he brought me through in the most beautiful way. Happier than I’ve been in many years, and I will recommend him every chance I get. He has a wonderful team with him, and they deserve every bit of my thankful respect. I am lucky to have a team of doctors I love, but their staff, not so much. Not so here. It is a joy every step of the beautiful way with his staff, his work, and his practice. I feel blessed my doctors put him at the top of my list. He is helping me feel pretty again!
I would give Dr Bidros a 100 start review if possible. This is my 3 surgery with him each of them great results and after care. His team is awesome all the girls are very sweet. I am a happy patient. Love Dr Bidros he is a great surgeon and person. Would highly recommend to friends and family. Could not ask for a better Dr.
I had my breast reduction with Dr Bidros after doing 6 other consultations. I choose Dr Bidros because of his honesty when answering my questions, addressing ALL of my concerns and even his nurses and office staff are respectful which is HARD to find unfortunately. Fast forward to the day of my surgery, Dr Bidros came in, got me ready, and even reminded that I’m in great hands. After surgery Dr Bidros spoke with my family and kept them in the loop about my care. During my healing process I had an issue, called the office and was able to speak with Dr Bidros which is different from leaving a message and getting a call back within 24 BUSINESS hours especially after having surgery. His bedside manner is also HARD to find!! If you’re searching for a surgeon who’s a perfectionist with amazing office staff give them a try. I searched for months until I found Dr Bidros and I hope this review can help someone who searched long and hard like I did.
