Improving Self Esteem with Male Breast Reduction Surgery
The self esteem of men around adolescence is rather delicate. The over development of breast tissue in males around this time is incredibly common and can have a devastating effect on self esteem. Excess breast tissue in men is called gynecomastia. This condition not only effects adolescent men but also older men, men on medications, or men that have lost significant weight. In the vast majority of cases, the cause is unknown. The only known physical remedy is male breast reduction surgery.
Richmond Gynecomastia procedures generally take between 1 and 2 hours. Reduction of breast volume can many times be accomplished with liposuction. In some cases, a small incision may need to be made in order to remove tissue directly. In rare, extreme cases, skin may be removed from around the areola. Dr. Sundin will work with you to determine the best course of action to produce optimal results for your situation.
Virginia board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Burton Sundin understands that a sensitive condition such as gynecomasita can be emotionally damaging causing anxiety over simple tasks like taking a shirt off at the beach. Dr. Sundin offers his patients a safe, confidential environment to discuss male breast reduction procedures.

Turning Back the Hands of Time with Richmond Facelift
There is nothing we can do to keep the hands of time from turning. As time passes, signs of aging begin to appear across our face. Skin begins to sag and lines begin to form in places that were once smooth in the days of our youth. Facial rejuvenation can be obtained with a face lift. A Virginia Face lift can be used to reverse the signs of aging by removing excess fat, tightening underlying muscles and re-draping the skin of your face and neck.
A face lift is rejuvenation surgery that now goes beyond just tightening skin. Gone are the expressionless, wind-tunneled looks of the past. Today, Richmond board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Burton Sundin strives to create a natural, rejuvenated look with little telltale signs of surgery. Face lift may be performed by itself or in conjunction with other procedures such as brow lift, eyelid surgery, ear reshaping or nose reshaping to achieve the desired result.
The best candidate for a face lift is a man or woman whose face and neck has began to sag, but whose skin still has good elasticity and whose bone structure is strong and well-defined. Face lift procedures can be tailored to the needs of individual patients. To determine if a face lift is right for you, schedule a consultation with Dr. Sundin. A face lift does not stop the clock. It simply “resets” it.
