Liposuction for the Male Breast
Male breast liposuction has a simple goal to improve the appearance of their patients chest by removing as much fat as possible. This process is more complicated than it sounds, because the fat must be removed with causing any permanent damage to the muscles or skin. This area is one of the most popular places where men ask to have liposuction performed. Other areas may include the jowls, cheeks, chin, flanks, and abdomen.
A standard male breast will have both fibrous glandular tissue and adipose tissue. The true tissue is characterized by a small lump directly underneath the nipple that feels firmer than the rest of the breast. Liposuction is often used to remove the fatty tissue, but it can be very difficult to get rid of glandular tissue. Potential patients should ask a doctor to assess the amount of glandular tissue and fat they have in their breast because it plays a big role in determining the operation method. A mammogram can help to show what type of tissue your breast is made from.
If your diagnosis is Pseudo gynecomastia, it means your breast enlargement is due to fatty tissues. This means you can get your chest reduced by using standard liposuction or laser liposuction. Most male chests get considerably higher fat levels as the person becomes older. However, fat breasts are also common for young men who have obesity problems.
Although patients should not expect perfect results, significant improvement is guaranteed. Most people will achieve over 50 improvement levels, although that may not be high enough for some patients expectations. To avoid setting your expectations too high, try asking the surgeon to provide a realistic perspective according to your exact body size. The patient may also be dissatisfied if they receive side effects such as skin irregularities, asymmetric or uneven results, or excessive scars.
