WHAT IS IT GYNECOMASTIA?
Gynecomastia is the increase of mammary gland tissue in men. It is a condition that can affect up to 60 percent of the male population and can be the cause of self-esteem issues for some men.

PROCEDURE
Depending on the amount of tissue that needs to be removed, the surgery will involve liposuction with or without direct excision of excess tissue under the nipple.  All methods are performed under general anesthesia for about 1-2 hours.

RECOVERY
After surgery, the patient will use compression to help the tissue heal flat against the chest.  In most cases, it is possible to return to work after 1-2 weeks.

RESULTS
Although the results of gynecomastia can be seen immediately the final results will be visible three to six months after surgery. The scars are generally well hidden under the nipple.

COST
The cost of breast gynecomastia is calculated according to each patient’s needs. The range will be between $5,500 to $7,500.

WHAT IS IT BRAZILIAN BUTT LIFT?
Lipotransfer, also known as BBL, is a surgery that combines liposuction with buttock augmentation, as fat from the same patient is transferred to the buttocks.

PROCEDURE
The surgery removes fat through liposuction from different areas, depending on each patient’s needs. Fat is usually transferred from the abdomen, the back, or the thighs, to the buttocks, thus, achieving a curvier figure.

RECOVERY
Moderate rest is suggested after the surgery, for the first days after surgery. The patient must avoid sleeping on her buttocks. The patient may resume activities after three weeks.

RESULTS
Changes are visible immediately, but the final results will only appear 6 and 12 weeks after the surgery.

COST

The cost of BBL may vary depending on each patient’s needs. But it is usually around $9,500.

WHAT IS IT LIPOSUCTION?
Liposuction removes excess fat from unwanted areas through a suction cannula. This technique improves the physical appearance to achieve a more ideal shape.

PROCEDURE
Liposuction is done under general anesthesia; it usually takes between 1 and 2 hours, depending on the areas to be treated. Small incisions are made in discrete locations so that excess fat may be removed through a cannula.

RECOVERY
Recovery usually takes about one week. After such a period, the patient may still show some swelling and bruises. Patients must wear a compressive garment for about a month after surgery.  Other techniques such as lymphatic massage may also be used.

RESULTS
Liposuction is a remarkably efficient technique to create an improved body contour. The results are permanent if healthy habits such as a balanced diet and regular exercise are continued.

COST
The cost of liposuction may change depending on each patient’s needs. It usually ranges between $4,500 and $8,750.

WHAT IS IT ABDOMINAL ETCHING?

The procedure seeks to shape the abdominal wall to expose the desired «six-pack.» This result is achieved by liposuction in strategic areas where abdominal fat is deposited.

PROCEDURE

Abdominal etching is achieved through a more precise abdominal liposuction where through small incisions around the navel, fat deposits are removed, and the abdominal muscles are noticeably exposed.

RECOVERY

The patient will be required to wear compression for optimal results. About two weeks after surgery, the patient can resume regular activities.

RESULTS

The definitive results will be visible three to six months after the procedure and remain as long as the patient maintains the recommended weight.

COST

The cost of abdominal etching can vary depending on the needs of each patient but typically is $5,500 – $6,000.
