Dr. Gregory Albert Brings Big Energy (and Big Ideas) to ABAM 2025

When you think of a plastic surgery conference, you probably picture PowerPoint slides, a lot of medical jargon, and some vaguely inspirational talk about "advancing the field." But the American-Brazilian Aesthetic Meeting (ABAM) isn’t your average conference—and neither is Dr. Gregory Albert.

This year, Dr. Albert, the mastermind behind The Optimization Centre™ in Boca Raton, took the stage at ABAM 2025 and delivered one of the event’s most talked-about presentations. His topic? Gynecomastia reduction—a procedure for men that’s equal parts transformative and personal—and how he’s using Lipo AI to completely change the game.

Why Gynecomastia (and Why Now?)

If the word "gynecomastia" isn’t in your regular vocabulary, don’t worry—it isn’t exactly table talk. Gynecomastia is the enlargement of male breast tissue caused by an imbalance in hormones, genetics, or lifestyle factors. It’s estimated that up to 65% of men will experience some form of gynecomastia in their lifetime. And while it’s rarely talked about openly, it can have a massive impact on confidence and quality of life. For many, the condition goes beyond physical discomfort—it can deeply affect self-esteem and social confidence, especially in situations where the chest is exposed, such as at the beach or gym.

Traditional approaches to treating gynecomastia have relied on a combination of liposuction and surgical excision to remove excess fat and glandular tissue. While effective, these techniques can be invasive, with the potential for extended recovery times and inconsistent results, particularly in achieving the natural contour men desire.

Dr. Albert’s presentation emphasized how Lipo AI, a next-generation fat reduction technology, is revolutionizing gynecomastia treatment by addressing these challenges.

How Lipo AI Is Changing the Game

Lipo AI integrates artificial intelligence with advanced liposuction technology to offer:

• Enhanced Precision: The AI component maps the treatment area in real-time, allowing for precise targeting of fat deposits while avoiding surrounding tissue.
• Uniform Fat Removal: Traditional liposuction techniques can sometimes leave uneven contours. Lipo AI’s smart technology ensures smooth and symmetrical results, particularly critical for achieving a natural male chest shape.
• Minimized Invasiveness: The system uses smaller cannulas and requires less manual manipulation, reducing trauma to the tissue and leading to faster recovery.
• Improved Skin Retraction: By incorporating thermal energy, Lipo AI promotes skin tightening, which is often a concern for patients with loose skin post-surgery.

During his ABAM session, Dr. Albert walked attendees through a series of case studies showcasing before-and-after results. One example involved a patient who struggled with gynecomastia for years and saw a complete transformation in both appearance and confidence post-procedure.

“This isn’t just about removing tissue or fat,” Dr. Albert said during his talk. “It’s about creating harmony in the chest that feels and looks natural. With Lipo AI, we’re able to elevate the standard of care for our patients.”

Dr. Albert: The Teacher Everyone Wants

Here’s the thing about Dr. Albert: he’s not just a surgeon. He’s also the guy other surgeons turn to when they want to turn up their skills. Dr. Albert’s reputation as an educator was on full display at ABAM 2025. Known for his work as a lead instructor for MicroAire Surgical Instruments and a facelift course leader at the ASAPS meeting, Dr. Albert has a knack for turning complex concepts into actionable insights for his peers.

At ABAM, his presentation wasn’t just a monologue—it was an interactive experience. Dr. Albert walked his audience of surgeons through his process step by step, from patient consultations to using Lipo AI in the operating room. He even opened up the floor for questions, sparking a lively (and surprisingly fun) discussion among his peers.

One of the standout moments of his session came when he detailed the nuances of achieving a natural contour in male chest surgery. “The key to success is understanding the subtle differences in male anatomy,” Dr. Albert explained. “We’re not just flattening the chest—we’re sculpting it to align with the patient’s overall proportions and aesthetic goals.”

Refining Expertise with the World’s Best

Dr. Gregory Albert’s approach to gynecomastia surgery—and aesthetic medicine as a whole—has been shaped by years of advanced training and collaboration with some of the most respected leaders in the field. Early in his career, Dr. Albert sought specialized expertise in facial and body contouring techniques, traveling to ASAPS meetings to learn from pioneers in endoscopic surgery and advanced liposuction methods. Under the mentorship of Dr. Renato Saltz, Dr. Grady Core, Dr. Felmont Eaves, Dr. Brian Mendelson, Dr. Kiya Movassaghi, Dr. Kao Chia, and Dr. Carlos Casagrande, he refined his surgical techniques and integrated cutting-edge procedures into his practice at The Optimization Centre™. His commitment to mastering these skills led ASAPS to invite him onto its teaching faculty, where he now educates fellow surgeons on the very techniques he once traveled to learn. This ongoing collaboration with global leaders in aesthetic medicine ensures that Dr. Albert remains at the forefront of innovation, continuously improving surgical outcomes for his patients.

ABAM with a Heart

While ABAM is known for its academic rigor, it’s equally celebrated for its commitment to philanthropy. For over 15 years, the conference has partnered with the Image Reborn Foundation, a non-profit that offers free renewal retreats for breast cancer survivors. These retreats give women a chance to rest, heal, and connect with others who truly understand their journey.

This year, as always, ABAM donated 100% of its proceeds to Image Reborn. For Dr. Albert, who’s deeply involved in charitable work, this partnership is personal. In October, he hosted Better in Boca, a fundraising event at The Optimization Centre™, to further support Image Reborn’s mission.

“When you see the impact these retreats have on women’s lives, it’s impossible not to want to be a part of it,” Dr. Albert said. “It’s a reminder that what we do goes beyond the operating room.”

What This Means for You

So, what does all this mean for you? If you're considering gynecomastia treatment, Dr. Albert's work at ABAM speaks volumes. His innovative use of Lipo AI isn't just about achieving precise, long-lasting results—it's about understanding that each patient is unique. Dr. Albert's patient-first philosophy ensures that your care is tailored to your specific needs and goals, not just a one-size-fits-all approach.

Here’s what makes his approach stand out:

• Customization: Every treatment is tailored to the patient’s anatomy and desired outcomes.
• Natural-Looking Results: The focus is on creating contours that look effortless, not overly done.
• Faster Recovery: Advanced technology reduces downtime and gets patients back to their lives quickly.

The Future of Aesthetic Medicine Is Here

ABAM 2025 was more than just a conference for Dr. Albert—it was a chance to share, inspire, and push the boundaries of what’s possible. Whether it’s through innovation, education, or giving back, he’s leading the charge for a more compassionate and forward-thinking approach to aesthetic care.
