The Wall Street Man

wolf_wall_street2

Are you The Wall Street Man? At least you can look like one. You are your best marketing tool which means you always have to look your absolute best at all times. Dr. Steinbrech helps men advance in their careers by providing them with a powerful marketing tool…a perfect youthful body. His motto: “Look the age you feel regardless of what age you are.”

Dr. Steinbrech created a set of treatments specifically geared towards the Wall Street Man– the Go-Getter. This man is the one who puts his job first, works long hours, and has to look top-notch everywhere he goes, always remembering to “dress for the job you want”. However, with all of those long hours, who has time to hit the gym every day? More so, men’s concerns about their bodies can’t be fixed by working out alone. Aging takes a toll on the body, and fixing those problem areas requires special procedures that Dr. Steinbrech has perfected over his years in the field. Dr. Steinbrech is now an expert in male plastic surgery and encourages men to take advantage of his procedures to improve their lives.

The Wall Street Man Makeover is geared to make you look natural and more powerful. Dr. Steinbrech believes that leaving a few natural wrinkles here and there shows maturity and trustworthiness. This set of procedures includes neck lift, upper and lower eye-lift, jawline re-contouring, and high-definition liposculpting.

Here’s a rundown of what to expect when going through the experience.

Upper and Lower eye-lift

The area surrounding the eye is one of the first places that shows signs of aging. Eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, improves the look of both your upper and lower eyelids, making you look younger and energized. All those sleepless nights spent in the office will vanish from your face, leaving you with a rested, renewed you.

A blepharoplasty, less invasive than a full facelift, involves minor incisions carefully chosen in the natural eyelid creases, lower eyelid ridge, and below the lash line. The type of incision necessary depends on your needs.  Treating the area around the eyelid is a safe and effective way of achieving a younger look which will boost self-confidence.

Neck Lift

With age, skin loses elasticity, especially in the neck area which ultimately causes loose skin. Loose skin makes men seem even older than they really are. Dr. Steinbrech’s neck lift surgery allows for the tightening of the underlying muscles in the neck area, and the reduction of fat deposits beneath the chin, erasing the “double-chin” effect that we all hate.

Neck lift surgery includes incisions around the ear lobe and behind the ears to hide any unwanted scars from the procedure. Post-surgery, you can expect some swelling, numbness, and bruising, however, most patients can return to their busy work schedules just two weeks after surgery.

Jawline Re-contouring

A strong jawline gives men a more powerful physical appearance which creates confidence and thus, helps you be more successful. Dr. Steinbrech includes a jawline re-contouring as part of his Wall Street Man makeover, which is a 15-minute, noninvasive procedure that produces male perfection. This procedure involves injectable fillers strategically put in the jawline to reshape it and create a strong defined chin, which according to Dr. Steinbrech adds 20 lbs. of muscle to the body. If needed, Dr. Steinbrech can also enhance the cheekbones for a more defined look, along with a jawline re-contouring procedure.

High-definition Liposculpting

This procedure in Dr. Steinbrech’s Wall Street Man look, sculpts the body by removing fat around the abdomen, waist, and hips in order to show off the muscles that are underneath. This creates the appearance of a perfect six-pack and the attractive pelvic lines that women die for. This procedure lasts longer than the other ones in this package, one to five hours, and can be done with either local or general anesthesia, depending on the amount of fat being removed. Even though the procedure itself lasts longer than the others, patients can return to work within a few days but exercise and other strenuous activities should be avoided for about a month.

However you desire to improve your image, Dr. Steinbrech can give you professional advice and get you started in our journey to look like the best version of yourself. Women should not be the only ones to benefit from the advantages of plastic surgery. Men are starting to feel comfortable getting work done and look their very best. According to the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), the number of cosmetic procedures for men has increased by more than 106% between 1997 and 2012. A strong man knows what he wants and knows how to get it. And it all starts with a simple phone call to make your appointment for a consultation with Dr. Douglas Steinbrech.

Say Goodbye to Gynecomastia Embarassment

Gynecomastia-surgery-mumbai-indiaFor a New Year’s resolution say goodbye to Gynecomastia embarrassment. Every year we make resolutions that most of us forget about and never follow through with. We make the resolutions usually from a personal conviction that there is something about your life that’s not quite right and we want to fix it. Think about the most common resolutions out there. People resolve to quit smoking because they know it isn’t good for them. Others resolve to lose weight or begin an exercise routine because they don’t like how they look, they want to be more health conscious, or both. Alas, these and many other resolutions rely heavily on one’s willpower or personal discipline or incentive and, as such, tend to fail miserably. Sometimes it’s hard to figure out what’s worse, the bad thing in your life that you just can’t beat or the fact that, once again, you broke your New Year’s resolution.

If you’re like most people, you have made a few resolutions this year. As the year goes by and we don’t achieve those resolutions we think, “Cheer up, there’s always next year”.

You may also be one of those men who identifies a problem but believes there is no solution for it. You simply conclude that it’s something with which you have to live with and come to terms with.  This may be the case if you’re one of the 40 to 60 percent of men who have gynecomastia.

Gynecomastia Basics

Gynecomastia in the broadest, simplest term is a hormonal imbalance.

  • Excess, localized fat
  • Excess glandular tissue development
  • A combination of both excess fat and glandular tissue
  • The aforementioned may be present in one of both breasts
  • Affects men of all ages at many different stages
  • Can be the side effects of another disease, certain drugs, hereditary conditions, and hormonal changes

Sorry for dropping a clinical word on you like that. For such a common condition, gynecomastia isn’t widely known by its proper name. Most people are far more crude in how they describe it, but frankly, “man boobs,” or “man breasts,” are more effective names for identifying the condition that affects so many individuals, even if such terminology is a bit brash.

If you have man boobs, you know how embarrassing it can be to go to the pool, shower in the gym or do anything shirtless. Your self-image has taken a serious hit, but you’ve also probably concluded that it’s a simple consequence of your genes, your weight, or your age. You deal with it by wearing shirts, sweaters, or jackets that will draw attention away from your breasts. The problem with this belief is that on top of your poor body image, your sense of hopelessness about the problem adds to your misery. You didn’t make a New Year’s resolution to lose the man boobs, because you didn’t think there was anything you could do about them

Well, it’s not too late to make getting rid of your gynecomastia a New Year’s resolution. Yes, my friend, you can do something about it.

There are seven types of gynecomastia ranging from mild to severe. No matter how extreme your breasts have become, there is a breast reduction procedure that can treat you. If you live in the NYC area, Dr. Douglas Steinbrech is one of the finest plastic surgeons in the area and he can determine which option best treats your condition.

Rest assured, modern male breast reduction surgery is very advanced. Average procedures last about two hours, recovery time is only about a week and the results are permanent. It’s not too late to make your New Year’s resolution to say “Good-bye!” to your man boobs. Not only will it treat the condition, but it will also do wonders for your self-esteem and general outlook on life.

Dr. Steinbrech Featured in The NY Times

Referred to as the “go-to surgeon for men” by Forbes Magazine, it’s not surprising that Dr. Steinbrech featured in The NY Times, in an article written by Courtney Rubin. Of course, Dr. Steinbrech would be a top reference featured in the widespread and highly credible media source, the New York Times. Dr. Steinbrech discusses the growing trend in male plastic surgery.

Jawline procedures are voraciously climbing up spots for top billing in the most requested of surgical enhancements, second to liposuction. He attributes the steady climb of this new trend to the popularity and abundance of superhero-driven films and the “crop of granite-jawed actors” who play them. Actors like Chris Pratt of “Guardians of the Galaxy” exude a level of masculinity that attracts attention from everyone. Audiences line up for these movies as they are enamored with the idea of superheroes and the physical achievements of the actors. Superhero films create such a draw within the genre that they even can catapult these actors to fame, as they become the ideal for cosmetic aesthetics.

Dr. Steinbrech Featured in The NY Times

Men seemingly shy away from that “Bruce Jenner” botched, soft, feminine look and even use him as a point of reference for how they do not want to look. The results of a chiseled chin that comes from various jawline procedures give off the impression that the unknown of what is underneath lies a body armored in a superhero outfit. Dr. Steinbrech is an established expert in aesthetic male plastic surgery and leads the industry in the top innovative procedures among his male clients. He truly understands the desire to achieve this look and how to provide treatments that serve a purpose and successfully feed your expectations. After all, who doesn’t want to look like a superhero?

Everything You Need To Know: Gynecomastia Guide

Gynecomastia Guide explains that Gynecomastia is the swelling of the breast tissue in males, typically explained by a hormonal imbalance between the amount of estrogen and testosterone that is being produced by the body. Gynecomastia can attack each breast, or both, resulting in an uneven proportion of fatty tissue. This condition can affect males in all stages and progress at any age due to normal, natural changes in hormone levels, although other causes do exist.

Gynecomastia-before-after

Gynecomastia Guide

Gynecomastia may not be a life-threatening predicament, so is treated as predominantly a superficial condition. However, it is still an extreme ailment to cope with as it interferes with other areas of daily life. Men and boys with gynecomastia sometimes experience intense pain in their breasts, similar to the soreness that a woman would endure during her menstrual cycle. The physical and aesthetic attributes alongside the tender reactions as the two main symptoms lead to severe insecurity and embarrassment in males.

It is possible for Gynecomastia to go away on its own if hormones stabilize. Most cases require medication or a surgical procedure.

Symptoms:

Signs and symptoms of gynecomastia include:

  • Swollen breast gland tissue
  • Breast tenderness

When it’s time to see a physician or specialist:

  • Swelling
  • Pain
  • Tenderness
  • Nipple discharge in one or both breasts

Types of Gynecomastia

types of gynecomastia

 

 

 

 

 

Type 1

Type 1 Gynecomastia is commonly referred to as a “puffy nipple”. The breast is composed of glandular tissue that is firm and dense. Many Type 1 gynecomastia patients have a lean body mass, have little fat, and are of young age. Surgically removing the glandular breast tissue is the preferred choice for leading experts and is mildly invasive.

Type 2

Type 2 Gynecomastia is the most prevalent of all the types. Most males develop an excess breast volume that consumes the lower chest and is often the size of a tennis ball increasing over time to potentially the size of a large softball. Liposuction is the preferred and most effective treatment however; some patients have a combination of both fatty and glandular tissue. For these particular cases, a combination of liposuction and surgical removal is the preferred choice of surgery.

Type 3

Type 3 Gynecomastia has a chest angle of 45-60 degrees and starts to sag when the angle is within this range. Treatment for Type 3 gynecomastia depends on age and skin quality of the chest. Surgical removal of breast tissue is the standard technique to certify that all of the necessary breast tissue has been removed.

Type 4

Type 4 Gynecomastia has a chest angle of 60-90 degrees. At this point, there is already a noticeable component of chest sag present and skin removal is absolutely unavoidable in order to correct the visibility of breast sag. Surgical removal of breast tissue is the ideal and optimal procedure to ensure all of the breast tissue is extracted. Liposuction is no longer an effective option for eliminating Type 4 gynecomastia.

Type 5

Type 5 Gynecomastia exhibits an obvious sagging breast tissue, which falls below the chest fold. The bottom of the areola is now visible and located above the chest fold. Type 5 gynecomastia requires an anchor lift to properly tighten the chest. Males with Type 5 have extra excess skin that needs to be treated accordingly. Both liposuction and surgical removal of breast tissue at the same time for this type of gynecomastia are necessary.

Type 6

Type 6 Gynecomastia has extreme breast tissue sag and falls below the chest fold. It can be seen extending under the armpits and towards the back. If an individual is heavy and overweight, liposuction may be used to flatten the breast and decrease the fatty deposits. Surgical removal of the glandular breast tissue is typically required at this level.

Type 7

Type 7 Gynecomastia has the top of the areola sagging below the level of the chest fold. There may be noticeable volume in the breast which will often extend towards the back. Surgical removal of the breast tissue is imperative for Type 7 gynecomastia to deliver the complete extermination of all unwanted breast tissue for male patients.

Causes of Gynecomastia

Natural Hormonal Changes

Testosterone and estrogen control the development and preservation of sexual traits in both men and women. Testosterone regulates male characteristics, like muscle mass and body hair production. Estrogen is the key supplier of female virtues, including the growth of breasts. Estrogen is often associated as being exclusive to the female, but men do produce it in small quantities as well. The imbalance of these two hormones for whatever reason is the main cause of gynecomastia and usually hits during one of three preeminent stages of growth.

  • Infants. Most people are unaware that more than half of male infants are born with enlarged breasts due to the high exposure of their mother’s estrogen. The swelling goes down on average two or three weeks after birth.
  • Puberty. It seems almost customary and most probable for a young man to develop gynecomastia at this time due to the overwhelming changes occurring to his body. If swelling or other symptoms continue to progress after or longer than six months to a year, it would be wise to be evaluated by a physician.
  • Senior Men. This condition may become prevalent once again between the peak ages of 50 and 80. One out of four men can be affected and the symptoms are so modest they may not even realize it.

Medications

  • Anti-androgens are prescribed to treat prostate enlargement, prostate cancer, and other diseases/disorders.
  • Anabolic steroids and androgens.
  • AIDS medications. Gynecomastia can develop in HIV-positive men who are receiving a treatment regimen called highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART).
  • Anti-anxiety medications, such as diazepam (Valium).
  • Tricyclic antidepressants.
  • Over-the-counter antibiotics.
  • Ulcer medications
  • Cancer treatment (chemotherapy).
  • Heart medications

Recreational Drug Usage and Alcohol Consumption

  • Large quantity of alcohol
  • Amphetamines
  • Marijuana
  • Heroin
  • Methadone

Health Conditions

  • Hypogonadism
  • Aging
  • Obesity
  • Tumors
  • Hyperthyroidism
  • Kidney Function
  • Liver Failure and Cirrhosis
  • Malnutrition and Starvation

Herbal Products

In rare instances, natural plant oils, like lavender or tea tree, commonly added to shampoos, soaps, and lotions have been linked to gynecomastia. The correlation between those products directly reflects weak estrogenic activity.

Testing for Gynecomastia

Gynecomastia can be diagnosed after a brief evaluation by your physician. An assessment of your family history as well as medical history will assist the physician in providing the proper treatment options available and the main source that contributed to the development of this condition. Precautionary advice or prescriptions can be requested and made available for those seeking the information. Blood tests and mammograms may also be administered to confirm or negate initial suspicions of gynecomastia. Further testing could be necessary if results come back conclusive or inconclusive for other resolves. The additional tests may include Computerized tomography (CT) scans, Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, Testicular ultrasounds, and Tissue biopsies. This will help to determine if gynecomastia is being misdiagnosed, or if there is a chance to uncover other, deeper, more severe problems, such as infection or the presence of breast cancer.

Treatments and Medications

Gynecomastia may go away if left untreated once hormones begin to stabilize and balance out. Although exercising and dietary plans are always beneficial for an overall healthy lifestyle, they are not the solutions to correct gynecomastia.

If gynecomastia is caused by an underlying condition, such as hypogonadism, malnutrition or cirrhosis, that condition may need an immediate and effective treatment plan. If an individual is currently using medications or recreational substances that can cause gynecomastia, your physician will recommend suspended use or substituting for another treatment option.

In the adolescent phase, those who experience the effects of gynecomastia with no evident cause, are recommended by physicians to undergo continual evaluations every 3 to 6 months to monitor improvement on its own. Full recovery without treatment expands an average time of two years. If no progress or counterbalance of hormones is achieved after that amount of time, the next steps moving forward are to be made toward a treatment plan, otherwise significant pain, tenderness, and embarrassment will increase.

Gynecomastia Shirts?

gynecomshirts

The latest technique offers a quick fix but not a long-term solution. It has been created and designed to sustain self-confidence among the individuals experiencing this condition. The Gynecomastia Shirt acts as a compression vest to hide the physical alternations to your breast tissue and muscle. The main advantage is its instantaneous support and reinforcement of the appearance of males concerned with the overall aesthetics that this condition exposes. They are comfortable and non-restricting to daily activity. The Gynecomastia shirt is part of a “treatment” in the very broad sense of the word, as this offers a temporary benefit, and does not alleviate any real symptoms of the condition.

Medications

Many of the same medications or similar techniques that are used to treat other conditions such as breast cancer often produce optimal results in easing and healing the pain and physical attributes amongst gynecomastia patients. Medications may currently be approved by the Food and Drug Administration, but they have not yet been approved specifically for this use. Individuals, under no circumstance, should begin taking any medications unless under surveillance and sanction from their medical professional.

Surgical Procedures Available to Gynecomastia Patients

After initial treatment or observation, surgery is the next efficient and logical step. Surgical procedures are often the only guaranteed way to resolve gynecomastia. It is the most personalized and custom treatment technique because there is little to zero guesswork involved as to what the outcome will be. Surgery will provide you with the fastest results, quick recovery times, and specialty care from trained medical professionals.

The two major procedures available to accomplish the task at hand are liposuction and a mastectomy. More often than not, Gynecomastia may require a combination of procedures in order to achieve exceptionally favorable results. A mastectomy will be able to dispose of the breast gland tissue, while liposuction will compensate by removing excess breast fat. Surgery is often completed endoscopically, meaning only small incisions are used. The less invasive type of surgery demands much less recovery time.

The actual surgical time is on average about two hours and requires local or general anesthesia. You will be requested to wear a special compression garment for a period of time during recovery to help support the newly augmented contours of your chest. Downtime is minimal (roughly one week) and the outcome is permanent, unless future access weight gain causes excess fat in the breast area.

Recovery

Routinely there will be some swelling, bruising, and temporary diminished feeling in the chest and the nipples. All of these symptoms will subside gradually within a few weeks. Discomfort, which begins several hours after completion of surgery, has been described as “an intense chest muscle burn” and mostly disappears within 2–3 days. Painkillers are prescribed as well as an antibiotic to prevent infection.

Scarring is minimal. It is always recommended to review your surgeon’s Before and after photos so there are clear, realistic, and appropriate expectations.

Strenuous exercise, activity, and sports should be avoided for approximately four weeks after the surgery. Completion of healing time for full recovery may take anywhere from three to six months as if varies for each individual. Other lasting benefits from the surgery may include:

  • A change in posture
  • A change in attitude
  • Newly restored or found self–confidence
  • Enhanced cosmetic appearance

Prevention

There are a few factors you can control that may reduce the risk of gynecomastia but certain tactics should be implemented if you are someone sensitive to this condition. Remember Gynecomastia is an equal opportunist and can affect anyone.

  • “Say No!” Do not participate in the recreational use of illegal drugs. Examples include steroids and androgens, amphetamines, heroin, and marijuana.
  • Avoid alcohol. Do not drink frequently or extremely large quantities of alcohol. You may drink in moderation at your own risk as alcohol can affect each individual differently and the severity of the condition.
  • Review your medications.  Always consult your physician prior to taking medication. Even if the medication is prescribed or over the counter, having knowledge of the potential side effects is crucial to preventing gynecomastia. If there are any foreseen symptoms or effects of your medication, a medical physician can provide you with other choices or treatments

Treat Gynecomastia with Male Breast Reduction Surgery

treat-gynecomastia

Gynecomastia is experienced by one in four men. We tend to look at aging with a sense of dread and recognize that as we age, there are things each of us will face that are unpleasant, yet unavoidable byproducts of getting older. These things vary from person to person and we tend to chalk them up as “inevitables.” While this may be true about many physical and cosmetic problems, it isn’t true across the board.

One of these supposed “inevitables” for men is enlarged breast tissue, often insensitively referred to as “man boobs.” Medically, this condition, known as Gynecomastia, is very common among men, affecting between 40 and 60 percent of the male population. Contrary to popular understanding, it isn’t simply a matter of aging or something indicative of a lack of exercise or physical fitness. Men of all ages struggle with enlarged breast tissue and the subsequent embarrassment, emotional distress, low self-esteem, and avoidance of intimacy that often come with it.

Treat Gynecomastia with Male Breast Reduction Surgery

Many men reading this right now are facing this and have talked themselves into believing that it’s something with which they have to live with. Although there can be comedic approaches to the issue, for men struggling with excess breast tissue, it’s no laughing matter.

The causes of Gynecomastia can range from a genetic predisposition to it the side effect of a drug, disease, or hormonal change. Understanding the root cause isn’t only important for men struggling with it, it’s also important because it provides a means of treating it effectively through breast reduction surgery uniquely tailored to each individual man with the condition.

I know, what some of you are thinking… “Surgery! Yikes!” Relax. Modern cosmetic medicine is far less scary or complicated than it was in years past. Besides, does the idea of surgery frighten you more than the prospect of continuing to live with enlarged breasts and the subsequent embarrassment that comes with them? Male breast reduction is typically a general or local anesthesia liposuction procedure, which may include the removal of excess glandular tissue. On average the surgery lasts approximately two hours and patients will need to wear a special compression garment during recovery to support the new contours of their chest. This recovery period typically lasts about two weeks and the results are permanent, the results of any future weight gain notwithstanding.

Once you’ve owned up to how strongly you feel about freeing yourself from the psychological and emotional burden you are bearing (or NOT bearing in the case of your enlarged breasts), you need to research your options and find a reputable surgeon who can help you. If you live in the NYC area, Dr. Douglas Steinbrech is a top-rated plastic surgeon and expert in the practice of male breast reduction surgery. Visit our Gynecomastia page for more information and to find out if male breast reduction surgery is right for you.

The 5 Benefits of CoolSculpting for Men

The 5 benefits of CoolSculpting for men include that it is a non-surgical procedure that is FDA-approved, and clinically proven. You’ve heard the traditional advice to lose weight and improve your appearance over and over again: diet and exercise. Diet and exercise, are the cure-all that does not always cure-all. And afterward, you’re always disappointed. No matter how much you diet, or how much time you put in at the gym, you almost definitely have parts of your body that don’t look the way you want them to. Maybe it’s just one small pocket of fat, but for whatever reason, you can’t manage to lose it.

Now, there’s a solution: CoolSculpting. CoolSculpting removes fat easily, naturally, and painlessly. CoolSculpting uses your body’s natural processes to destroy and remove fat cells in targeted areas with no negative effects on surrounding cells and tissues.

Cells in your body are naturally destroyed when they are exposed to extremely cold temperatures. CoolSculpting takes advantage of this natural bodily function by specifically targeting fat cells and exposing them to freezing temperatures. The procedure kills the cells quickly and easily. The entire treatment takes just one hour.

For 3-4 months after treatment, your body will naturally absorb the dead fat cells and eliminate them via your natural metabolic process. All the while, all of the surrounding tissues and cells remain unharmed and function 100% as normal.

CoolSculpting

The 5 Benefits of CoolSculpting for Men

  • There are no needles involved. CoolSculpting is completely non-invasive. There is no cutting, needles, or pain of any kind. If needles make you uncomfortable, or you want to go completely pain-free, CoolSculpting is a good option for you.
  • No surgery is required. CoolSculpting is a fully non-surgical option. Treatment is performed completely on the exterior of your skin. Best of all, you will not need anesthesia, or any other medications to get through the procedure.
  • No downtime involved. If you can’t miss work, CoolSculpting takes just one hour and you can return to work immediately after. Feel free to go right to the gym after the procedure. There are no post-treatment restrictions, and you’ll leave feeling refreshed and renewed. Most people are so comfortable during the procedure that they work, read, or nap during their hour with us.
  • It’s FDA-cleared. The new technology behind CoolSculpting has been FDA-approved and is completely safe for use.
  • It’s safe and clinically proven. CoolSculpting can be used safely and effectively. With just one session, you will see an average reduction of 25% of fat from the treated area. If you are not satisfied after the first treatment, it’s safe to receive the treatment again just two months after your first visit.

The First of its Kind: Men’s Plastic Surgery App

The first-of-its-kind men’s plastic surgery app is what’s new. Our first-ever application! We’ve been inspired to provide you with a little something extra. With our new application, you can have all of the information you’re looking for in one place.

The application can be downloaded for free on iTunes (iPhone and iPad compatible) and Google Play (Android compatible). You’ll be able to access our videos, news, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, forms, and contact information. Additionally, you’ll have access to any specials or promotions that we are running.
