Male Breast Reduction: Q&A

Gynecomastia Surgery
I am having Gynecomastia which is enlarged male breast and excessive fat tissue. I had this problem from my early 20’s. Now I am seriously thinking to remove this excess fat from my body. If there is any one out there had this surgery or used VASER LIPO procedure, can you help me out to find honest and reasonable doctor/ s rather than treating you as credit card machine and not delivering the service correctly as they indicates at the beginning. I read many articles about this system. Most of the people indicated that surgery itself was not too painful which I am ready for the recovery time. Your feedback/ s and help greatly appreciated.

Effective Technique of Male Breast Reduction or Gynecomastia Treatment in Los Angeles
Considering that gynecomastia involves growth of male breast tissue, Veser or other techniques of liposuction can NOT remove the actual breast gland. it might remove excess chest fat but it can not melt away or remove excess breast gland.

The truth about gynecomastia reduction surgery!
Gynecomastia correction primarily involves the reduction of glandular fatty tissue through surgical removal. This technique is used in conjunction with liposuction of any surrounding fatty tissue to achieve an ideal result. In some cases, the excision of excess skin may be necessary as well. The skin has a tremendous capacity to shrink and contract after surgery; much like a stretched rubber band retracting back to its original shape/size.
These are the basic elements of gynecomastia...

Gynecomastia surgery techniques
Gynecomastia procedures vary patient to patient. Gynecomastia can range from liposuction only techniques to treat a mostly fatty chest area, to a combined procedure with limited subareolar incision to directly resect glandular tissue not removed by liposuction (this includes laser and vaser assisted), to full breast reduction/amputation with free nipple grafting for men who have breasts that would qualify for a female breast reduction!

• Member of American Society of Plastic Surgery (requirements beyond Board Certification)
• Member of American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (indicates extensive experience in aesthetic surgery - see below link)

Gynecomastia
In my experience liposuction alone is rarely adequate to treat gynecomastia. Gynecomastia is due to increased tissue in the male breast.The increased tissue may be fat or glandular tissue.The fat is amenable to liposuction while the glandular tissue is not.

Male Breast Reduction
With the introduction of liposuction in the 1970’s, the treatment of gynecomastia has also evolved to utilize liposuction techniques. Through small incisions located at the periphery of the breast tissue, liposuction cannulas are introduced and traditional liposuction or ultrasound-assisted liposuction (click here to learn about Liposuction) is performed to remove excess fatty breast tissue. Because fibrous, glandular breast tissue is stronger and more compact than fatty breast tissue,...

Gynecomastia options...
Gynecomastia is a common condition in men, and is usually treated with great results. If you are interested in having male breast reduction and have not consulted with a surgeon first, you should definitely see a board certified plastic surgeon. Laser liposuction or regular liposuction are excellent ways to improved male breast enlargement, but often times some direct excision of the breast tissue is needed, thus the need for a visit for a consultation. Ask friends or...

Appropriate treatment for gynecomastia
If you have both glandular tissue and excess fat, the appropriate procedure would be formal excision of the glandular tissue. This cannot be performed using Vaser or liposuction alone. Liposuction can be used in combination with resection of the glandular tissue. The operation is not known for being very painful because it does not involve the muscle. To find a doctor with proper credentials, you can access the website of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons...

Gynecomastia?
Thank you for the question.
Gynecomastia comes from the Greek meaning "gyne" meaning woman and "mastos" meaning breasts. It refers to abnormal development of large mammary glands in males. The diagnosis can be made by physical examination where relatively firm tissue (breast gland tissue) can be differentiated from relatively soft tissue (adipose tissue).
Breast prominence due to excessive adipose tissue is called pseudo-gynecomastia...

Vaser for gynecomastia?
Hello,
Gynecomastia in most cases consists of tough fibroglandular tissue and not fat. Vaser lipo or other lipo systems can help but it will not remove all of the tissue if it is fibroglandular in nature. The only way to get rid of all of the tissue is to excise it. This can be done by making a small incision at the border of the areola and chest skin. The url below is a before and after photo of one of my patients that underwent direct excision.
All the best...
