Is Laser Surgery the Most Effective Form of Male Breast Reduction?

What natural, non-surgical methods that will produce the same results as surgery for mael breast reduction?

A: surgery is the best treatment for gynecomastia (male breasts)

There is no treatment (non-surgical) that can give the results that surgery can for male breast reduction. Gynecomastia (excess male breast tissue) is typically treated with a combination of liposuction to removes excess fat plus direct excision of breast tissue through a small areolar incision. Non-surgical treatments can not remove the breast tissue, which is quite firm. I recommend consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon for an evaluation to see which approach is best for you.

Best wishes,

Dr.Bruno

Areola Revision / Reduction Post-Gynecomastia Surgery

I underwent a surgery overseas where my Dr. advised me that to get my chest contoured. well he had to perform a procedure where an incision around the circumference of my areola is done and the glands and excess skin can be removed along with liposuction. three months past the surgery date and I have extremely large areola. he mentioned that they will get smaller with time but it seems they're the same size if not worse since the operation. please advisee me on what can be done?

A: areolar reduction after gynecomastia surgery

I would recommend waiting one year after your surgery before having an areolar reduction procedure. This can even be done under local anesthesia in the office. I prefer to use a permanent Gore-Tex suture (deep) to prevent future widening of the areola. Be patient for now, this can be improved.

Best wishes,

A: Overly large areola following gynecomastia surgery

Correcting verly large areola following gynecomastia surgery is possible, but is a very difficult problem to repair. Most likely, you will need to wait 6-12 months for everything to heal. You will certainly require areolar reduction, however your chest wall appears to be deficient of skin in the surrounding tissue. You are a unique case, and you may actually require tissue expansion of the surrounding skin, followed by reduction of the areolar tissues.
