Male Breast Laser Lipo

Male breast reduction with gynecomastia laser lipo gives you back your masculine build

Has it been a while since you've taken off your shirt at the pool? Are light, drapy shirts out of the question? It is common for men to acquire excess fat across the chest. Gynecomastia, also known as enlarged male breast, or "man boobs," affects men of all ages. Now with male breast laser lipo, you can reduce gynecomastia, wear all types of shirts, and enjoy a more manly physique.

Having a laser lipo surgeon reduce your enlarged male breast with liposculpture is much easier and safer than undergoing traditional liposuction. The process is simple:

• You are given a local anesthetic to numb the area.
• Your liposculpture surgeon uses a laser to gently melt the fat directly under the skin and to encourage skin tightening.
• Your surgeon then places one or two small incisions on each side of the chest to begin the suctioning process with a cannula, which is only about 3mm wide.
• Your laser lipo surgeon uses slow, gentle movements to remove the fat, meaning limited pain, fewer bruises, and a rapid recovery for you.

The entire tumescent liposculpture procedure usually lasts only an hour and acts to reduce fat and tighten skin. Laser lipo patients need only light sedation, and most patients are back at work in one or two days.

• Laser lipo is permanent. Once fat cells are removed from the body, they do not grow back.
• Laser lipo produces noticeable results, leaving you with a sculpted, contoured, and masculine frame.

FAQs

Why choose male breast laser lipo?

Gynecomastia laser lipo reduces fatty deposits on the male breast, naturally sculpting the chest and restoring proportion to the body. Male breast reduction increases confidence, creates a more masculine physique, and makes it possible to wear form-fitting clothes. With gynecomastia laser liposuction, recovery is quick and post-op bruising and pain is minimal. Results are permanent, so you never have to worry about enlarged male breast tissue again.

What is male breast laser lipo like?

Liposculpture is usually performed in an office or clinic setting under local anesthesia. Patients remain awake and alert during the entire procedure. First, the surgeon numbs the skin and places one or two small incisions on each side of the chest. Using gentle suction, excess fat is removed with a small vibrating cannula, or straw-like instrument. The cannula is only 3mm-about the size of a cooked spaghetti noodle-and leaves no unsightly scars. The procedure lasts for about one hour, and patients walk out of the office with their new, sculpted physiques.

Am I a good candidate for male breast laser lipo?

Laser lipo of the male breast is a safe procedure for most men with full or fatty chests with no hard glandular tissue. Anyone who is very thin but shows the appearance of male breasts might not be a good candidate. Such patients might have excess glandular tissue or "true gynecomastia" and will not benefit from laser liposuction. These patients might benefit from a surgical procedure called direct excision, designed to remove the glandular tissue. Only a consultation with the laser lipo doctor can address these issues.

Can male breast laser lipo be combined with other procedures?

Yes. Many patients choose to have their male breast liposculpture procedure performed in conjunction with other procedures. Of course, not all patients need laser lipo on their other areas, so your surgeon can target the chest alone and perform this procedure by itself if you prefer.

Will I have any scars or sagging skin after male breast laser lipo?

Tumescent laser lipo of the male breast leaves only a couple of small incision sites, each only about 3mm wide. The puncture sites naturally close within a day or two, fading into the natural color of the surrounding skin. Scarring does not usually occur. Hairy-chested men will not notice any scars.

Laser lipo is designed to promote skin tightening and to restore collagen. Men under the age of 60 with good skin tone will generally not have sagging skin and will instead see an improvement in skin tone and firmness. Laser lipo is specifically designed to promote skin tightening as the fat is removed. However, older patients or those who have experienced dramatic weight loss may still experience sagging or lax skin and might want to consider other skin-tightening procedures along with their male breast reduction surgery.

Will this procedure change my nipples?

No. Gynecomastia laser lipo does not change the size, color, or placement of your nipples.

What are the post-op procedures for male breast laser lipo?

Patients generally experience only mild discomfort after the procedure. You can walk immediately afterward, enjoy light to medium activities, and return to work in a day or two. Some, but not all, patients experience mild bruising. A compression garment similar to an Ace bandage is worn around the chest for three days and nights and then at least eight hours a day for two weeks.

Some patients may experience swelling after the procedure. Good results are visible within three to four weeks; final results are seen within six months. While it does take a while for the swelling to subside, there is minimal to no pain involved. With laser lipo of the chest, there are no stitches, and the tiny puncture wounds naturally close within two days. The most common discomfort patients experience is mild soreness, similar to the muscle ache that accompanies strenuous exercise.
