Vaser Liposuction for Male Breast Reduction (Gynecomastia)
In many cases, Vaser liposuction is an effective solution for treating gynecomastia. This minimally invasive procedure uses a small cannula (liposuction tube) to remove excess fat by breaking down and draining fat cells. The result is a flatter, natural-looking male chest achieved through a straightforward outpatient surgery with a short recovery period. The procedure typically requires only one or two tiny scars, strategically placed in inconspicuous areas like the armpit or chest.
Male Breast Reduction (Gynecomastia) with Tissue Excision
For patients with larger male breasts, excessive glandular tissue, or sagging skin, tissue excision may be recommended. This procedure involves an incision around the edge of the areola, allowing surgeons to remove excess glandular tissue and fat while sculpting a flatter, more masculine chest. While tissue excision can result in slightly larger scars, they are often barely noticeable once fully healed.
Combined Techniques for Optimal Results
In some cases, surgeons may combine tissue excision with liposuction to achieve the best results. This combination allows for the removal of excess tissue while sculpting the chest for a more defined, masculine appearance. Many men also opt for abdominal liposuction during the same procedure to achieve a leaner, more athletic overall physique.

Gynecomastia FAQ
Yes, anabolic steroids can contribute to the development of gynecomastia. These substances may disrupt the balance of sex hormones in the body, leading to an increase in breast tissue. This condition is a common side effect of androgenic drugs, including anabolic steroids, prohormones, and certain prescription medications.
If you’re concerned about gynecomastia caused by steroid use, consult a medical professional to discuss potential treatments.
While no surgery is entirely scar-free, gynecomastia surgery scars are typically minimal and discreet. They are usually hidden around the edge of the areola and, in some cases, a small scar may be located below the breast.
Gynecomastia is caused by a hormonal imbalance between oestrogen and testosterone. Factors such as puberty, ageing, medication, anabolic steroid use, or certain health conditions can contribute to the condition.
In most cases, gynecomastia surgery is performed as a day-case procedure, meaning patients can return home the same day. Overnight stays are generally unnecessary unless complications arise.
Yes, wearing a chest compression garment is an essential part of the recovery process. It helps reduce swelling, support the chest area, and promote proper healing for optimal results.
