Effects of Vaser Liposelection on Male Breasts

Vaser Liposelection is a type of liposuction that uses ultrasound technology to selectively break down and remove fat deposits. When it comes to male breasts, the procedure can be used to address a condition known as gynecomastia, which is the development of excess breast tissue in males.

Here are some key points regarding the effects of Vaser Liposelection on male breasts:

Gynecomastia Treatment:

Vaser Liposelection can be an effective method for treating gynecomastia by removing excess fat from the chest area. It is particularly useful when the enlargement is primarily due to an accumulation of fatty tissue.
Fat Reduction and Sculpting:

The procedure not only removes excess fat but also allows for precise sculpting and contouring of the chest area. This can help achieve a more masculine and defined chest appearance.
Minimally Invasive:

Vaser Liposelection is a minimally invasive procedure compared to traditional surgical approaches for gynecomastia. It involves making small incisions through which a thin probe is inserted to target and emulsify fat cells.
Selective Fat Removal:

The ultrasound technology used in Vaser Liposelection allows for selective targeting of fat cells while preserving other tissues such as blood vessels and nerves. This can result in a smoother and more controlled fat removal process.
Recovery:

The recovery period after Vaser Liposelection is typically shorter than with traditional surgical approaches. Patients may experience some swelling and bruising, but these side effects generally subside over time.
Patient Selection:

Vaser Liposelection is best suited for individuals who have gynecomastia with a significant component of excess fat. If the enlargement is primarily due to glandular tissue, surgical excision may be more appropriate.
Individual Results:

The results of Vaser Liposelection can vary among individuals. The success of the procedure depends on factors such as the patient's anatomy, the extent of gynecomastia, and the skill of the surgeon.
It's important to consult with a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon who specializes in male chest contouring to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for your specific case. The surgeon will assess your anatomy, discuss your goals, and recommend the most suitable approach to achieve the desired results.

These sensations are common within the first few weeks following the procedure.During this time, it's normal to feel discomfort or pain as your body adjusts to the changes made. However, these sensations should normally gradually subside. There is no any specific timeline as everyone healing differently. If the discomfort is severe or causing significant distress, I recommend scheduling an appointment with your surgeon. They can assess your condition and provide reassurance, guidance, or treatment options. Remember, everyone's healing process is unique, so be patient with your body as it recovers.
Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Hi,
As it is only a week and a half since you have had your procedure, it is quite normal to experience most of the sensations you have mentioned and should start to settle down by 2-3 weeks and become more tolerable.If you are finding it to be really bad then there is no harm in having a quick visit to surgeon for reassurance.
