Comprehensive Treatment Solutions
Dr. Lebowitz offers a range of treatment options to cater to each patient's unique needs. These options include:
1. Hormone Therapy
For cases resulting from hormonal imbalances, Dr. Lebowitz develops personalized hormone therapy plans. Through medication or lifestyle modifications, the imbalance can be corrected, reducing breast tissue size and reshaping the chest.
2. Liposuction
For cases involving excess fat deposits, liposuction can be an effective solution. Dr. Lebowitz utilizes advanced liposuction techniques to target specific areas of fat accumulation, achieving a more defined chest contour.
