Chest Reduction for Men or Gynecomastia |

Gynecomastia affects an estimated 40 to 60 percent of men in the United States. Due to hereditary factors, excess unwanted fat deposits located in the chest area can cause overdeveloped or woman-like breasts in men, a condition that presents frequently in both older men and younger men. For men who feel self-conscious about the appearance of their chest, Liposculpture can re-contour overdeveloped male breasts. Liposculpture can be an effective rewarding procedure for the permanent removal of these localized excess fatty tissues and can help restore a slimmer, masculine, natural chest contour.
Similar to Liposculpture, this procedure also uses the Tumescent technique. Measured volumes of anesthetic solutions are infused into the fatty area identified. Through small incisions placed in an inconspicuous location-either on the edge of the areola, just beneath the breast itself or in the under arm area-a long narrow instrument is inserted beneath the skin. The instrument is maneuvered beneath the skin to remove unwanted fat cells by suction. This fat cell removal is permanent. Once fat cells are removed in a defined area they do not re-grow.
