Can You Get A Breast Lift Without Implants?
Can Gynecomastia Go Away with Exercise?
Gynecomastia is a physical condition which only affects biological males. It is characterized by a puffy, soft-appearing chest which resembles breasts. Though gynecomastia is not dangerous, many patients experience psychological distress, gender dysphoria, body dysmorphia, or bullying as a result of their condition. These can impact one’s mental health, and sometimes lead patients to research ways to treat their gynecomastia symptoms.
While researching treatment options, many men wonder, “can gynecomastia go away with exercise or healthy eating?” After all, hitting the gym and cooking nourishing meals are generally thought to be the fastest ways to a trim physique. However, because gynecomastia is the result of excessive glandular and stromal tissue rather than actual fat, this answer is less straightforward than one might imagine.
Dr. Lapuerta has been working with gynecomastia patients for years — and we’re happy to share our knowledge of the condition with you. Read on to learn more about working out with gynecomastia, and how to most effectively treat the condition.… Read More »

All The Different Types of BBL & How To Ask for The BBL You Want
Learn The Different Types of BBL Shapes
The Brazilian Butt Lift, or the BBL, is one of the most popular forms of plastic surgery out there. Patients love how the BBL works as a “two-for-one” procedure, as it both adds volume to the buttocks while also sculpting and trimming another part of the body. This method allows for a massive transformation in one fell swoop.
However, potential BBL patients should know that not all Brazilian Butt Lift results are the same. In fact, there are a variety of BBL shapes and results. These varying results will depend on the personal goals of the client. The technique that a surgeon utilizes for a BBL procedure will be determined by the type of shape the client naturally has, as well as their desired outcome.
If you are considering trying a Brazilian Butt Lift, it’s a good idea to first identify what you ultimately want your butt to look like. This is where shape comes in. First, figure out what the natural shape of your rear is, and from there you can start pinning down which of the BBL shapes will work best with your proportions.Our guide to different types of BBL shapes and results is a great starting point for your research.… Read More »
