Gynaecomastia / Andromastia

Gynaecomastia / Andromastia

40% of men are affected by over development of the male breast – according to BAAPS. What to do and how to treat? Gynaecomastia, from the Greek for “gynae” (women) and “mastia” (breast) should perhaps be called andromastia – “male breast” and indeed this is the popular term to describe man-boobs in Spanish and Portuguese.

Paul Levick is a pioneer of aesthetic surgery – he was the first British consultant plastic surgeon to embrace and challenge many cosmetic surgical procedures and aim to improve them. Paul has made the surgical correction of gynaecomastia his life’s work. With well over 500 patients, he has developed a scar-less surgical technique that removes the male breast bud through a small puncture in the armpit, using infiltration, liposuction and brute force.

This module includes a webinar presentation by Paul Levick, his definitive ‘how-to’ surgical video, and a video capturing Professor Jim Frame’s first use of the Paul Levick technique. (If you thought the experts always find it easy – watch this video!)
