Scarless Male Breast Reduction (Gynecomastia)
 Gynecomastia is a common condition in which men develop excess tissue in the breast. Now more than ever, people are taking advantage of sophisticated new techniques to treat this potentially embarrassing condition.
For most men with gynecomastia, the breasts simply contain fat deposits. Fat removal with liposuction is a very effective treatment for this kind of gynecomastia. We have gone beyond simple liposuction and added the SmartLipo MPX. This allows us to remove the fat in a much less traumatic fashion and at the same time cause significantly further skin shrinkage and tightening.
In some men, however, the breasts contain a combination of fat and glandular tissue. Liposuction is less effective in these cases because the procedure cannot remove glandular tissue. Many surgeons treat this type of gynecomastia by making large incisions to remove the glandular tissue, often causing unsightly scarring around the areola.
We, however, introduced the scarless male breast reduction several years ago. We utilize state-of-the-art technology for this remarkable procedure, which allows us to break up hard glandular tissue and remove it through the suction cannula used to perform liposuction. The one-hour procedure is performed in our certified surgery center, where patients are given a local or twilight anesthesia on an outpatient basis. Most scarless male breast reduction patients are fully recovered within 24 to 48 hours.
We look forward to discussing this life-altering procedure with our potential patients.
