Kenalog Injections Possible for Gynecomastia procedure?
I'm a skinny male with very mild gynecomastia. Can over-injecting Kenalog injections help cause it to atrophy a little--and thereby avoid traumatic surgery? Or does it not affect the gland tissue at all?
Terrible idea.
Thanks for the question - "Over-injecting" any medication is dangerous. Steroids can cause tissue atrophy as you've noted but it can cause atrophy to skin and is somewhat unpredictable. At best you'd get uneven lumpy results, at worse, open wounds, infection and tissue necrosis. Large doses of steroids can also cause systemic problems as well. Determine the cause of your gynecomastia (usually idiopathic) and consider ultrasonic assisted liposuction as a treatment from a board certified plastic surgeon. I hope this helps.
