Vaser Liposuction

Male breasts seem to have very dense breast tissue so the Vaser really is the best option here. We sometimes need to cut out the breast bud if it is projecting out and too dense for the Vaser.

Is Vaser Liposuction Best for Male Breast Reduction?

Great question! In my practice I offer combinations of liposuction techniques and excision of the breast bud. Understand the degree and classification of the gynecomastia is the first stage in determining the plan for surgery. In most cases I offer a tri lipo combination. I start with the VASER (low wattage ultrasonic liposuction) for the dense fibrous breast tissue and fat, followed by Smart Lipo Triplex (32 to 40 watts on wave lengths 1064,1320,1440 up to 20,000 joules per side) for... more

Male breast successfully treated with liposuction

In my experiencee in treating males with gynecomastia, I have found laser liposuction with Smart Lipo to be the best treatment method.

We have had good success with SmartLipo.

Each surgeon will have a bias based on their assessment of your soft tissues and if your breasts are more fatty or more glandular. Best wishes

Gyenecomastia and vaser liposuction

I often utilize vaser (ultrasound) assisted liposuction for the treatment of gynecomastia (male brest reduction). The tissue over a man's chest is quite dense and liposuction without the assistance of ultrasound can be difficult. The vaser probe helps break up and liquify this dense tissue and therefore results in a greater amount of fat removal with less trauma and bleeding. Even with vaser liposuction it may still be necessary to directly... more

Gynecomastia Surgery

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... more
