I am looking for a solution where I can just get one treatment to get rid of the chest fat but also have very little downtime and no scars. Most importantly, I don't want my nipple area to be removed. I would try cool sculpting but I don't want to have to pay for multiple treatments. My goal is to have all fat removed from my lower chest and side of my chest. I want my chest to appear flat. The fat just does not look good on me especially when wearing slim fit shirts.
Answer: Fat or gynecomastia On review of your pictures it seems there is a strong possibility that you not only have some fat in your chest but also large mammary glands (gynecomastia). If during the physical exam this is confirmed the only solution would be a mixture of liposuction to remove the fat and excisional surgery of the mammary glands. Removing the glands purely with any type of liposuction is not possible despite many claims to the contrary. I would advise you to contact a surgeon with ample experience in treating gynecomastia so that you can get optimal results.

Answer: Male Chest Fat: Gynecomastia Thank you for providing photos for reference. With your situation, we cannot guarantee a single procedure with no scar at all. In #gynecomastia, staged procedures (more than one procedure) may be required. For example, the first procedure may be liposuction, then several weeks to months later after skin contraction has occurred, a separate procedure is done to remove excess skin. By doing a staged procedure, often the final scars are less. Your #nipple won't be removed per se, other specific techniques can reduce the areola when needed or re-position the nipple to create the appearance of a more natural contour. With regards to recovery, an easily concealed support elastic garment is usually worn for 3-4 weeks following surgery. Sutures are typically removed within 7 to 10 days of surgery. Patients engage in gentle activities of daily living for the first 10 days. No aerobic exercise for at least 3 weeks but patients may take gentle walks after 10 days. For more information on risks of this procedure, please visit the web reference below or visit a board-certified plastic surgeon for consultation. #RealSelf100

Answer: Vaser liposuction of male chest Personally, I use Vaser ultrasound liposuction with great results in male chest. This will remove fat including lateral chest in one treatment. You may also require a small excision (hide scar around areola) of thick tissue at the same time for full flatness. This one surgery has an easy recovery.An exam and consultation with a plastic surgeon who performs these procedures is recommended to confirm you are a candidate as well as discuss your options and expectations.

Answer: Shaping the Chest with VASER HI DEF 4D Liposculpture, ThermiRF, fat grafting Yes, for best results, I recommend a hi definition procedure like VASER liposuction. I use VASER HI DEF with ThermRF and fat grafting to get the most fat removal, skin tightening, contour and definition. This combination will give you the most toned result. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hi definition physique expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Vaser/HiDef Vaser Hi Def if the a great option for you. depending on the amount of glandular tissue you have, you may want to consider having glandular tissue removed at the same time. I understand that you are against it but if you do have significant glandular tissue underneath your nipple you may not achieve the flat appearance with vaser alone. An examination would be needed to make that determination. It appears from the picture that most if it is fatty tissue that is very amenable to a liposculpture procedure with minimal scars. The down time for this procedure is minimal, compression garment for up to a month with final results at 6-9 months! See an expert! All the best!
