Will Zerona laser treatment remove the fat left on my chest after gynecomastia surgery?

Question

I had gynecomastia surgery about a year ago and they removed some of the glandular tissue, but did not remove the fat around my chest. I have been dieting and exercising since, and have lost 18 lbs, but I still have more fat on my chest than I would like. If I continue to diet and exercise, will the Zerona Laser Treatment be an effective way to reduce the rest of the fat and keep it off?

Chris Lowery, DO · Answer

Although Zerona® can be effective for fat reduction, the results are most visible when used for problem areas like the waist, hips or thighs. Schedule an in-person consultation with a cosmetic surgeon who offers both Zerona and traditional liposuction so you can get an informed opinion about which treatment option would best help you meet your goals.

Vincent D. Lepore, MD (retired) · Answer

Although, Zerona laser light treatment can reduce circumferential body fat, including around the chest, it may not be as effective in spot fat reduction as an ultrasound assisted liposuction, especially in a male chest.  A physical exam would be necessary to determine which option, or others, would be in your best interest.  Best wishes, Dr. Lepore.
