About Marc Adajar, MD
I was always the “fat kid” growing up, being constantly bullied and teased because of my weight. I tried every diet known, all which resulted in regaining the weight (often more than before). As I grew older, health problems started to become apparent because of my obesity. With the passing of my close college friend due to heart problems I came to the hard realization that I had to make a change for the sake of my wife and children. I went back to medical school and concentrated heavily on nutrition and exercise physiology, eventually discovering the critical importance of hormonal, peptide, and vitamin optimization. I chose to change my lifestyle and become healthier, eventually losing over 60 pounds with less than 15% body fat. I felt great but no matter how hard I worked out or how strict I was with my nutrition, I was never able to get rid of my man-boobs (gynecomastia) and love handles. I even cut my calories as low as health would allow and sometimes I trained up to 2 hours a day, but despite this, my chest and love handles persisted. My insecurity about my physical appearance prevented me from showing all that I had accomplished in losing over 60 pounds. I was hesitant to participate in any activities that would require me to remove my shirt. I even continued to wear my old shirts because they hid my chest and love handles even though it looked like I was wearing a tent. One would think my self esteem and self confidence would have skyrocketed with what I accomplished but it fact, it was quite the opposite since my man-boobs and love handles were even more prominent now that I lost weight everywhere else. My self confidence plummeted. I decided to take control and asked my close friend and former co-resident in surgical training, Dr. Anh-Tuan Truong to help. Dr. Truong’s area of expertise is body sculpting and cosmetic surgery. I underwent gynecomastia correction surgery and removal of love handles shortly thereafter with Dr. Truong. My surgery was nothing short of amazing and the final result was truly incredible. I couldn’t believe how much a cosmetic procedure could boost my self confidence. For me (and for many of you), the decision to proceed with surgery wasn’t a matter of me wanting to look beautiful or fabulous, but me wanting to feel normal. Because of my personal journey with health and self confidence issues, I decided that I wanted to help others and focus on health and hormone optimization combined with cosmetic surgery for men. I was certain that there were many men out there who could benefit from my expertise, training, and personal experience. Through XSculpt, we help men who are suffering from gynecomastia and excessive abdominal fat that are resistant to diet and exercise. We are unique from other surgeons in that we also offer help in maximizing your overall health through testosterone replacement therapy, weight loss management, peptide treatments, and anti-aging therapies.
