Can you use ultrasound liposuction on mens breast area? Does it work? What are the risks?

   I use conventional tumescent liposuction instead of ultrasonic.  There is a risk for burns with ultrasonic.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Ultrasound assisted liposuction is effective for gynecomastia but often a combined approach with direct excision and adding liposuction can result in a more effective and complete result.  Discuss these options with your surgeon.  Best wishes!

Ultrasound assisted Liposuction "UAL" is typically advantageous in more fibrous tissues. The energy is helpful in emulsifying the fat and breaking though the dense connective tissue particularly seen in gynecomastia. Yes, in the right hands it can work very well. In addition to the normal risk of liposuction, you have a risk for thermal injury...burning the skin and or surrounding structures. Hyperpigmentation has also been noted. Paul
