The New Moob: 90% of Male Patients Opting for New Ultrasonic Sculpting Treatment to Reduce Man Boobs

A new walk in walk out ultrasonic sculpting procedure has increased demand for male breast reduction. According to figures released by Dr Ravi Jain, Medical Director of award winning Riverbanks Clinic, 90% of men who chose to undergo treatment at his clinic in 2009, opted to have their "moobs" reduced and sculpted using the life changing Vaser Ultra Sculpt treatment that allows 86% patients to go back to work within three days.

Gynecomastia, the development of abnormally large mammary glands in males is a common condition that affects up to 60% of men. Unlike traditional surgical male chest reduction, Dr Jain uses ultrasonic energy that removes unwanted fat through minimal incisions (2-3mm diameter) and enhances the visibility of the underlying musculature. Dr Jain also removes the underlying breast gland to create a flat and defined chest creating results that can usually only be achieved by undergoing major surgery that requires general anesthetic and weeks of painful recovery.

But how can the dramatic trajectory for male breast reduction be explained? Dr Jain suggests that men have been suffering in silence for many years and the decision to opt for surgery has little to do with vanity. "The average age of the men I treat is 40. They have been distressed about their condition since their teens or early 20's. Vaser Ultra Sculpt provides an effective alternative to surgery with minimal recovery time that enables them to get back to work quickly. This is the most rewarding treatment we offer because it is life changing and restores confidence that has been destroyed through years of suffering."

A Riverbanks patient who recently had the ultrasound "moob" sculpting treatment said "After researching male breast reduction surgery on the internet, I decided to opt for ultra sonic sculpting due to minimal downtime and recovery period. Also a big factor was that I was awake and able to talk to the surgeon whilst the procedure was being carried out. Since my op I have made very good progress and the results have been life changing."

Call them man boobs, moobs, male breasts or gyaecomastia - we can help!

It’s not just women who have boob-jobs – man-boobs or ‘moobs’ can be as much of a confidence sapper, especially when you want to:

• Look good in a fitted shirt when the meeting gets heated and the jackets come off;
• Be able to wear fitted T-shirts and crew necks without looking like the Michelin man;
• Look forward to holidays in the sunshine, without worrying about people staring when you strip off to your swimwear;

Man boobs (gyaecomastia) are one of those phenomena that weren’t there before and suddenly they seem to have appeared, almost overnight. As the years pass, gravity starts to have an effect. Breast reduction is not something that is only for the girls - you don’t have to spend the rest of your life hiding in baggy clothes and holidaying in colder climates – there is a solution!

"I selected Laser Lipo as i had read that it was less painfull than other methods and it recovery was much sooner.

I researched a few different clinics carrying out this procedure but felt Riverbanks offered much more in terms of a personal service rather than just another patient through the door.

When meeting Ravi i felt my selection was justified and have been happy with the results ever since. Even after the procedure Ravi has kept in touch to review my progress which confirmed my initial thoughts of a much more personal service.

In addition to that his staff make you feel very welcome and at ease from start to finish.

Thanks again."

"Manboobs made my life a misery..."

The Sun recently covered the story of 24 year old Lee Jardine, who developed man boobs at the age of 13.

At the worst point, he was able to fill a Dcup bra, and it wasn't until one of his relatives read about his plight in the newspaper that he had the money to get rid of them.

In the interview he says: "At school, the other lads laughed at me changing after PE, calling me 'pretty boy' and pointing. The bullying got so bad over the next couple of years that I just walked out and never came back. My confidence was rock bottom."

Man boobs (gyaecomastia) are one of those phenomena that weren’t there before and suddenly they seem to have appeared, almost overnight.   As the years pass, gravity starts to have an effect.  Breast reduction is not something that is only for the girls - you don’t have to spend the rest of your life hiding in baggy clothes and holidaying in colder climates – there is a solution!

You could, of course, have surgery – but there is a cost to that in time, discomfort and money.  What you may not know is that you can remove man-boobs without surgery and go right back to work without anyone being the wiser – except they’ll think you’ve lost a few pounds and may have been working out.

Our non invasive technique:

•    Reduces the fat content – permanently, 

•    Tightens the skin, 

•    Is relatively painless, 

•    Has minimal recovery time (hours, rather than weeks) 

•    And costs less than half as much as the surgical procedure.

As I said in this article from the Daily Star:

"Patients are increasingly realising that there are alternative treatments out there which mean they don’t have to take extended time off.
