Will Laser Liposuction remove the glandular tissue from Gynecomastia?

November 11, 2014
Asked By:bdub85 in Pasadena, MD

I recently had a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to correct my Gynecomastia. He claims that the Laser Liposuction will remove the breast tissue. Then, he'll use traditional Liposuction to contour the chest. From what I've read online, the only way to remove the breast tissue is through excision. I specifically asked about having the tissue removed via excision, but he said the Laser will take care of it. I'm not quite sure what to believe.
