But now were going to move on to a subject that most men don't want to talk about, let alone think about. And so of course we turn to Dr. John because he can kind of delicately work his way through this. But this is a problem for a lot of guys. It is a problem called gynecomastia, the common word is man boobs. It's more common than you think. Last month we took you inside an operating room to show you a relatively new technology called VASER liposuction. You've seen how you can treat a woman's abdomen with much quicker recovery time than traditional liposuction. You've also seen how it can lift a woman's breasts without implants. But this revolutionary technology is also changing men's lives. It is now being used to treat an embarrassing problem which affects one in every 18 men. The VASER ultrasonic wand allows surgeons to work very precisely through a tiny incision to remove excess fat and breast tissue. With a quicker recovery time to get rid of something that's really tough to get rid of. Please welcome Dr. John Millard, a leading cosmetic surgeon in this field right here in Denver. And Dave, the patient you saw undergoing the surgery. Thank you for being here. This is something that's been with you for awhile. Right. And you tried other techniques to try and get rid of this. What have you done before? Exercise, dieting, things like that. Okay. And what does it mean to you having what we call man boobs? It affects your self-image and self-confidence. Its probably since junior high or high school and eventually it hurts your posture as you are trying to hide it. I heard of the surgery before. I did research online and started going to appointments with doctors. This is a different take on liposuction. This is the VASER. Correct. Using ultrasonic energy to actually not only dissolve the fat, but we can also dissolve some of the gland along with it, the breast gland, to help dissipate this condition and give a very nice cosmetic result with very small incisions. Now, how many men suffer from this? It increases with age. Its of course a great distress for a lot of adolescent boys and young men. But as we increase with age, our testosterone goes down, our tissue's response to some of the hormones goes down. So as we grow older, many, many more men start to have it. In fact, you could say a majority of men have it by the time they're aged 60. This is something Ken Clark alluded to when he was introducing the package here, that a lot of men have this, but you are too embarrassed to either talk about it or even go to somebody to try and get something done. So at what stage did you finally say enough is enough, im ready to get this taken care of? As soon as i knew that i could go have it done i think. Its just, you know, after i started researching it more. So it was something that you'd had for like, again, since you were junior high. Yeah. And just over the years, its something you wanted to get done. Yeah. But didnt really know how to get about it? Yeah. And we have some before and after pictures right here. This is you before the surgery. That is what you've been dealing with since junior high school. And this is the front view of the same thing. So the swimming pool, your shirt off you were embarrassed about the whole thing. Right. Now we're going to show after pictures to show what happens after the surgery. Again, this is the liposuction that can really help, very, very small incisions to get this taken care of, correct? Very small incisions. The incisions are on the order of about 2 to 3-millimeters. We need one, sometimes two. Typically you can hide the incision even in the areola, so there's minimal to no scarring. And as far as recovery time, how long did it take for you to recover from this surgery? Its still in process. But its been great. What about the surgery? Three weeks ago. And you are up and about and doing the things you normally do and everything. How about going to a swimming pool now? Yeah. That will happen. Taking your shirt off, no problem? Again, would you say this is life changing? Oh, it will be. Definitely. And how about people out there that have this procedure or have this condition wanting the procedure? What would you tell them? To look into it definitely and see about having it done. It really can change your life. Again, this is amazing life changing procedure. And i appreciate you being out here, brave enough to come out here with us. For more information on the process, the other things he does as well, log on to our web site. Myfoxcolorado.Com.
