Liposuction & Gynecomastia

Liposuction and gynecomastia surgery can help male patients reduce the size of enlarged breasts. Excess breast fat and tissue may lead to the appearance of male breasts, potentially affecting self-esteem and wardrobe choices. Certain factors, including obesity, genetics, and hormonal imbalances, may cause male breasts to appear during either puberty or adulthood. Despite consistent dieting and exercise efforts, stubborn fat around the chest is often difficult to reduce through traditional weight loss methods. Many men wish to reduce the size of their breasts in order to improve the aesthetics of the chest. At NYC Lipo, our liposuction surgeons utilizes innovative techniques to treat gynecomastia. Liposuction can be combined with male breast reduction surgery to remove excess fat and tissue from the chest. Traditional lipo techniques can be combined with laser and ultrasound options to produce minimally-invasive fat reduction and skin tightening results. Additionally, surgical procedures can re-drape excess breast fat tissue. Opting for lipo and gynecomastia surgery can result in a slimmer, athletic-looking chest for men.

How Do Liposuction & Gynecomastia Work?

Male breast liposuction combines a variety of minimally-invasive lipo techniques to achieve precise fat reduction results. During liposuction for gynecomastia, tiny incisions are made around the chest and micro-sized cannulas are inserted below the skin. These cannulas extract excess fat cells contributing to the appearance of male breasts. Laser liposuction techniques, as well as ultrasound lipo methods, can also be utilized to remove fat and tighten skin around the treatment area for a firmer-looking chest.

Gynecomastia surgery can remove or reposition excess chest skin to improve contours. Extracting breast tissue can reduce the size of the chest. Additionally, loose skin can be re-draped and lifted to produce a tightening effect. Gynecomastia surgery combines these two approaches to improve the appearance of male breasts. Dr. Levine will discuss which gynecomastia techniques are ideal for you during your consultation at our New York office.

Can Liposuction & Gynecomastia Be Used Alongside Other Procedures?

Yes. Liposuction and gynecomastia can be used in conjunction with other body sculpting or liposuction procedures to achieve optimal results, including tummy tuck, body lift, back lift, and arm lift. Moreover, SmartLipo® and VASER® LipoSelection can be utilized during male breast liposuction for precise fat reduction and skin tightening benefits. Dr. Levine will discuss which procedures may best enhance your male breast reduction results.
