Enlarged male breasts is a delicate subject and can be quite embarrassing to a man who has them. Some men never take off their shirt at the beach and wear baggy, thick and extra large shirts to hide what is commonly referred to as "man boobs". Excess fat in the chest of a man, technically called Gynecomastia, can treated in a variety of ways, one of which is laser liposuction. This form of liposuction, called laser liposuction, is done with a laser to produce a more manly chest. Laser liposuction, though it has a low incidence of side effects is still surgery and health professionals would rather see men attempt to reduce the fat on their own through a healthy lifestyle.
Methods for reducing fat in male breasts include overall fat loss done with a healthy diet and exercise routine. Fat burners can be added to the mix along with antioxidants to speed things along. If surgery is your last resort then laser liposuction can be a smart choice due to its low incidence of infection. A laser liposuction patient is given local anesthesia to numb the areas to be treated, then a surgeon inserts a tiny cannula, about the size of a cooked piece of spaghetti, into the skin.
A laser heats the fat and gently melts it while the cannula suctions the liquidized fat out of the body. The laser also tightens and firms the skin in that area. Since no big movements of the cannula are necessary, there is far less bruising that with traditional liposuction. The entire procedure takes only about an hour and patients are able to walk out of the hospital about 3 hours after that. Most patients can get back to their normal activities in less than two days. A quicker recovery period with laser liposuction helps those who are active, need to be at work, or have families to tend to get back to business. And because the procedure does not need to be repeated - once the fat cells are removed, they are removed permanently and it is cost effective.
Laser liposuction is safe for most men who have fatty or full chests with no sign of hard glandular tissue. Some men have excess glandular tissue instead of fat and will not benefit from laser liposuction, but instead may opt for surgery to remove the glandular tissue similar to a mastectomy in women. A consultation with a qualified laser liposuction surgeon will provide the best solution. Do some research to find a physician in your area that performs laser liposuction and see if you are a good candidate. Most men benefit from laser liposuction because most of the tissue is indeed fatty tissue from weight gain.
After laser liposuction surgery, patients will experience some mild discomfort that is treated with over the counter pain medication. Immediately after surgery, walking and light to medium activities are ok. A compression garment is needed to be worn for 72 hours. Some patients do experience swelling for a week or more after laser liposuction surgery, but there is no pain involved.
