Gynecomastia Surgery in Austin, TX

Conducting research, publishing studies, and moving the treatment of gynecomastia forward are all fundamental parts of his practice.

To date, the scientific literature relating to gynecomastia has been poorly designed and — therefore — has made little impact on the field. Approaches to treatment vary widely because of a lack of consensus on best practices and even the diagnosis of the condition itself. This created significant inconsistencies in how doctors choose to deal with gynecomastia, leading to unreliable and unpredictable results.

Dr. Caridi is trying to bring greater unity into the gynecomastia field. His two currently published research papers focus entirely on gynecomastia and how doctors can serve patients better and more consistently. He poured his years of experience treating thousands of gynecomastia patients into the studies because most plastic surgeons do not get much exposure to gynecomastia patients in their training or non-specialized practices. The prevailing mentality is that most generic plastic surgeons can perform gynecomastia surgery simply because it is a plastic surgery procedure. However, Dr. Caridi believes they are missing a critical piece of the practice — a full understanding of the psychological burden carried by gynecomastia patients.

His published literature specifically addresses two crucial topics:

• Diagnosis — Consistent diagnosis and treatment of gynecomastia is possible. If doctors across the country and around the world can come to a consensus on best practices, procedures will become reliable, safe, and predictable, and the experience of every patient will be vastly improved.
• Complete tissue removal — Dr. Caridi has discovered that the gynecomastia tissue responsible for “puffy nipples” can be successfully removed. Presently, the “common knowledge” has been that this tissue needed to remain to achieve a smooth, natural result. However, Dr. Caridi has proven this to be untrue in his experience and believes that — when widely applied — his technique can lead to transformative results.

Dr. Caridi cares deeply about patients with gynecomastia — his career proves this. That heartfelt concern drives his desire to raise awareness and refine the condition's understanding and treatment. He will continue to use his surgical experience to develop new potential treatments, expand his education, and advance the broader scientific community's approach to gynecomastia. The result? A world in which the burden of gynecomastia is experienced by very few because of its treatability; and a world in which any man on the planet feels comfortable knowing that surgeons across the globe treat their patients as safely, effectively, and compassionately as every person treated by Dr. Caridi at Austin Gynecomastia Center.
