Gynecomastia Boston

Gynecomastia (male breast reduction) and liposuction for men is an area in which Boston's Dr. Davidson is greatly experienced and has made original contributions. Dr. Davidson blends more than 30 years experience with a keen eye and artistic touch. Dr. Davidson strives to achieve the most attractive and natural result for each of his many gynecomastia patients, with minimal scars.

Dr. Davidson, who is board certified by both the American Board of Surgery and the American Board of Plastic Surgery, has contributed several important original techniques to the field of plastic and cosmetic surgery, including the treatment of gynecomastia.

Gynecomastia is a condition in which excess breast tissue is present in boys or men. It comes from the Greek word meaning women's breast (female breasts). Gynecomastia occurring in teenage boys is often a temporary problem, which improves spontaneously. In others, this condition persists into or occurs during adult life. Many males having this condition request surgical correction. Prior to 1990, this usually required excising the excess tissue through a half circle incision at the lower edge of the areola.

The advent of ultrasonic assisted liposuction (UAL) and special cannulas (hollow tubes) has made it possible to remove both breast gland and fat through very small incisions, thereby eliminating the need for a half circle incision in most patients. Thus, scars are smaller, healing is faster, and the risk of contour irregularity is reduced. Dr. Davidson is well known in the scientific community for his original contributions in the treatment of gynecomastia, especially for a method of removing excess skin (when necessary) with minimal scars. Additionally Dr. Davidson is a contributor to the renowned medical textbook, The Breast, An Atlas of Reconstruction by Williams and Wilkins, 1984. Boston's Dr. Davidson shares his professional insight and clinical techniques in the book's chapter on gynecomastia - a chapter co-authored by Dr. Davidson.
