I am a healthy 27 year old. I want to get rid of chest fat and want to know if liposuction works or should I go for gynecomastia surgery?
Answer: Lipo vs gynecomastia Thank you for your question. If it is strictly fat then liposuction would be the way to go. When you go in for your consultation your Surgeon will examine you and decide if you have some breast tissue then it would be a gynecomastia. I would suggest speaking with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in person to evaluate you and discuss your options.

Answer: Gynaecomastia Surgery in a 27yr old male. You have both enlarged gland and excess fat. Only liposuction will not help correct your problem. You will need Gland excision + liposuction that is Gynaecomastia Surgery.

Answer: Gynecomastia surgery Thank you for your photos. I would certainly do liposuction with a Vaser to help tighten the skin. After this on the operating room table I would assess whether or not glandular tissue needs to be removed. Based on the images I suspect there is excess glandular tissue that would need to be removed as well.

Answer: Gynecomastia surgery Gynecomastia is enlargement of the male breast. it can be caused by excess gland, fat or both. Surgeons who correct gynecomastia have to be able to use both liposuction as well the direct excision of the glandular tissue. It is very difficult to accurately predict the contributions of the different tissues. Good luck in getting your gynecomastia corrected.

Answer: Gynecomastia Thank you for the question. Liposuction would work well. If your surgeon feels that there is a gland component to the fullness, this can be removed via a small incision in each areola. I wish you the best of luck. Vasileios Vasilakis, MD.
