I do not know what the term is called, but if a guy has large breasts, similar to a women? I know that liposuction can remove the excessive fat, and also flatten the guys chest? My main concern is how much pain will I have after the liposuction, and how long will the recovery time or recovery period be, and will their be any black or blue bruising that can be visible on my chest right after the procedure?
Answer: Candidate for gynecomastia? Healthy male patients with excess breast tissue or unwanted breast development who have no underlying breast disease.Men who desire improved physical and aesthetic appearance should have realistic expectations based on their condition and the procedure performed. You should meet with a board certified plastic surgeon to be able to get a formal diagnosis and to be able to decide on a course of treatment if necessary.

Answer: Can liposuction remove man boobs? Generally speaking, liposuction surgery alone is useful to treat lipomastia (an enlarged chest secondary to adipose tissue); rarely does it suffices as the only modality of treatment when it comes to treating true gynecomastia. ***Most patients with gynecomastia benefit from direct excision of glandular tissue plus/minus peripheral liposuction surgery.

Answer: Liposuction for Gynecomastia Unfortunately liposuction will only remove fat and not breast tissue which needs to be removed surgically. Most patients say that the pain after surgery is minimal, as far as recovery I want my patients to wait 4 to 6 weeks before resuming any type of formal exercise. Be sure to see a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who specializes in gynecomastia. good luck.

Answer: Liposuction for "man boobs" Liposuction is a great tool for treating male chest fat or "man boobs" if the excess tissue is mainly fat. Liposuction will not work well to remove glandular breast tissue however. Glandular tissue normally needs to be removed through direct excision techniques. If you are a candidate for liposuction you will find the operation itself is fairly easy (it is quick and takes less than an hour usually, only need sedation and local anesthesia, not general) with a quick recovery. I have my patients wear a chest compression vest for several weeks that fits easily under any clothing. This is to restrict the amount of swelling and to encourage your skin to shrink so as to get to your final result as soon as possible. There generally is minimal bruising which will go away over a week or maybe two. There is also minimal pain, just a tenderness to touch for a while. I allow my patients to exercise and do full activities in less than a week. I hope this information helps.Thomas Taylor, MD, FACS
