QUESTION:
What foods/supplements do you recommend 4 faster healing before/after surgery? Are any foods/ supplements off limits after surgery? (via RT @resultsandstyle on twitter)
ANSWER:
We provide all surgery patients with herbal medication, called Arnica Montanum, which is known to reduce swelling and bruising. Patients are asked to avoid “blood thinning” medication such as Motrin or Aspirin for two weeks prior to the surgery.

Male Chest Fat & Surgery

Overview
The pectoral region is a common area where excess fat is deposited in men. These fat deposits are unsightly and hard to get rid of. Fat deposits in your chest may be difficult and take long time to lose. Surgical remedies are an option in combating the build up around your chest. They are not only effective but also faster than dieting and exercise.
Liposuction
Liposuction is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that may be used to resolve fat build up across your chest. This procedure is conducted by making a small incision in your skin. The fat is then suctioned out using a special needle and an aspirator. This procedure is conducted mainly under general anesthetic but may be conducted under local anesthesia as well.

Mastopexy
Mastopexy is a surgical procedure that is also known as a chest lift. It can be performed on men as well as women. It is performed under general anesthesia. This procedure is done by removing excess skin and fat from the area on and around your pectoral muscles. The procedure lasts two to four hours and full recovery takes six weeks.
Non Invasive Remedies
There are medical solutions to fat build up in a man’s chest that does not involve surgery. Zerona and CoolSculpting are U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved procedures designed to decrease subcutaneous skin fat. Zerona is a medical laser that uses cold energy to force fat out of adipose cells. The fat is then removed from under the skin of your chest by your body’s natural mechanisms. CoolSculpting freezes adipose cells, killing them. The dead cells, which contain fat, are removed by your body naturally.
Non-Cosmetic Male Chest Lift
In some cases, male chest lifts are required to treat a condition known as gynecomastia. Gynecomastia is a condition in which men have swollen or enlarged breasts. This condition is caused by hormonal imbalances or is an adverse reaction to certain medications. This condition may be treated using non-surgical methods; when these are ineffective, surgery is required. Mastectomy, or removal of the breast, and liposuction are the surgical procedures used to treat gynecomastia.
