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: Gynecomastia Surgical Techniques There are three types of surgical treatment options available that treat gynecomastia. The doctor will recommend the one that is best suited to each individual case. The excision technique is used on cases of #gynecomastia where excess skin and glandular breast tissue must be removed and the areola or nipple needs reduction and repositioning to create a natural looking appearance. The incision patterns are determined by the specific condition of the patient. The doctor will recommend this procedure which combines the liposuction technique and excision technique to create a natural look. Patients are given specific instructions for the recovery period. Men who suffer from large #areolas may notice that after breast surgery, the skin of the chest muscles will tighten, causing the areolas to tighten and diminish in size. This is a result of the removal of glandular and/or adipose tissue.

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.
