54 year old male. Thinking about CoolSculpting chest area. Fat has built up around my pecs and it looks bad.

Question

Will cool sculpting work in this area?

Kimberly Butterwick, MD · Answer

Men can accumulate fat around the pectoral muscles, and that responds very well to CoolSculpting. Several studies have documented good results in this area. Be sure to first be examined by an experienced dermatologist however, as sometimes the tissue is not fat but actually breast tissue, which would require surgical treatment.  Please find a board-certified dermatologist to evaluate your chest and determine if you are a candidate for CoolSculpting.

Hello,Thank you for your question. CoolSculpting can work in that area on the appropriate candidate. You will need to consult with a local physician in person to determine the best course of action. Good luck!

First you will need an in-person physical exam to make sure you do not have true gynecomastia which is an accumulation of male breast tissue. If this is the case then CoolSculpting will not be effective. If your chest enlargement is due to fat, then CoolSculpting can provide you with benefit and I have seen great success with this procedure in the appropriate candidate. Most men will need 2-3 rounds of treatment to the chest for optimal results. Make sure you are under the care of an experienced physician provider. Best wishes.

Yes, CoolSculpting can be used to reduce fat in the male chest area.  I have treated men with excess fat in the breast area with CoolSculpting and seen improvement.  CoolSculpting will only reduce fatty tissue though, so an exam is needed to determine if you might be a good candidate for the procedure.

There are cases of treating fat on the male chest (pseudo-gynecomastia) with CoolSculpting, but an in office exam would be necessary to determine if you would be a candidate for this. Good luck!
