Ultrasonic Cavitation on the breast area, why not?

Question

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!

I use ultrasonic liposuction routinely in nearly every gynecomastia correction I perform. It works extremely well to help to reduce and remove the glandular component in gynecomastia. It should be used together with direct excision of glandular tissue which is usually directly under the nipple. It is important to choose a surgeon wo performs gynecomastia correction frequently because it is more difficult than most believe in order to get great results and avoid complications. Good luck.

Thanks for your question. Your concerns are unfounded. None of the studies done looking into this issue confirm damage to cells with the use of VASER liposelection. Male gynecomastia is typically improved with this technique alone if the amount of gland is minimal in fact. Hope this helps.
