I know of no FDA approved non surgical/non invasive treatment for gynecomastia. If you are seeking non surgical options  for mild gynecomastia, I think that Vanquish which uses RF energy, or UltraShape that uses ultrasound rather than Cool Sculpt would be the best option though all are off FDA usage. Surgery is the best option for the vast majority of patients with gynecomastia.#gynecomastia#malebreastreduction

Typically, we treat  most gynecomastia patients with liposuction and other minimally invasive techniques. Best advice is to obtain a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon near you for an evaluation and to discuss options.

Thank you for your question and male breast reduction.Typically, surgical procedures to correct "man boobs" fall into 3 categories:Glandular excisionLiposuction of fatty tissueSkin excisionOften, it may be a combination of the above procedures.To be sure what might be right for you, see two or more board-certified plastic surgeons in your area for a full and complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have surgery.I hope this helps.

If breast tissue is primarily fatty liposuction alone might be all that is necessary for good result. A physical examination will help sort out this possibility.

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

In our office, we use a combination of laser, VASER, and tumescent liposuction to help correct abnormal tissue around the male pecs.  These options work very well for control of gynecomastia. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian

The treatment to remove man's breasts, if they are authentic breast tissue, is by means of open access and subcutaneous glandulectomy.

For men who do not want surgery, we have had great success in 
reducing male chests non-surgically using UltraShape.  We have used 
UltraShape for patients that are not surgical candidates, are in the 
process of loosing weight and for the men who does not want to 
undergo surgery.  UltraShape is unique in that it uses pulsed, focused, 
non-thermal ultrasound to destroy fat.  The treatments can be customized for each patient's needs.

Hi Aashita Ram,If you have gynecomastia with excess breast tissue, you will need surgery to correct it. No exercise or pill will remove excess breast tissue. Liposuction is used to remove the fatty tissue, but glandular tissue (the tissue that feels firm under the areola), needs to be excised. You should be evaluated by a board-certified plastic surgeon who specializes in gynecomastia surgery.  Hope that helps,Dr. Dadvand

Gynecomastia (Enlarged Breasts in Male) is the abnormal development of large mammary glands & excessive fat deposits in males resulting in breast enlargement. The causes of common gynecomastia remain uncertain, although it has generally been attributed to an imbalance of sex hormones or the tissue responsiveness to them; a root cause is rarely determined for individual cases. The male breasts cannot be cured through gym or any other
non-surgical treatment, surgery is the only safe and permanent cure. The male breasts correction surgery is performed on an outpatient basis. You can happily go home either on the same day of the surgery or an overnight stay may be required. See a board certified plastic surgeon and consult for best advice.

Thank you for the question.Gynecomastia refers to abnormal development of large mammary glands in males.  The diagnosis can be made by physical examination where relatively firm tissue  (breast gland tissue) can be differentiated from relatively soft tissue (adipose tissue).Breast prominence due to excessive adipose tissue is called pseudo-gynecomastia or lipomastia.  The differentiation of true  gynecomastia  from adipose tissue is important because the surgical treatment may differ. Usually  physical examination by a well experienced board-certified plastic surgeon is sufficient to make the diagnosis  and to determine the best course of treatment.I have found that gynecomastia is often best treated with  partial excision of the prominent glandular tissue  as well as liposuction surgery of the peripheral chest area.  If the prominence of the chest wall is caused by adipose tissue, then liposuction surgery alone may suffice.I would strongly suggest that seek consultation with a well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons.  Ask to see lots of examples of his/her work achieving the types of outcomes you would be pleased with.I hope this, and the attached link (dedicated to gynecomastia surgery concerns) helps.
