Hi doctors! Manuals say that cavitation can not be perfomed on the breast area. But I have not managed to find out why. Too close to the heart? Pneumothorax? Breastfeeding related? Cancer tumors that can explode and spread? What about male breasts then? If I go in from underneath and I point the head up and out, away from the heart and lungs, can I then use cavitation to reduce my male breasts? I ask because I wish to do exactly that. But also do if safe, if possible. Thank you in advance!
