My husband is getting lipo done for his chest. I don't think it's necessary because I really don't see anything wrong. Is there anything else that can be done without liposuction? Do you think it's bad enough for liposuction? He only got an opinion from 1 surgeon.

Answer: Your options 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

Answer: Lipo vs excision It's impossible to make an accurate evaluation off one photo. If he and your doctor suspect gynecomastia, then the best option is generally excision of gland with liposuction. I hope that helps.

Answer: Husband desires Gynecomastia Surgery but Wife thinks it is unecessary Thank you for the picture. There is a bit of fullness to his chest. I could lose weight to change the contour of his chest non surgically. May be you and your surgeon should visit with the surgeon for clarity.

Answer: Gynecomastia. Is there anything else that can be done without liposuction? Based on the photograph, your husband's concerns seem understandable. 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 only, then liposuction surgery alone may suffice. It is very important to make an accurate diagnosis, in order to tailor the correct operation to achieve the patient's goals. Doing so will help avoid postoperative disappointment and the need for additional treatment. Best wishes.
