lipo or male breast reduction surgery

Lipo or surgery for male breast reduction

10 March 2019/by The Team
WOULD YOU LIKE TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT MALE BREAST REDUCTION?

If you’ve been diagnosed with gynecomastia, the treatment choice will be between lipo or male breast reduction surgery. The question is, which one is right for you?

Below, you’ll discover the difference between liposuction and male breast reduction surgery and how to determine which type of treatment you need.

Lipo for gynecomastia

Depending upon the severity of the gynecomastia, it may be able to be treated through liposuction alone. However, this will also depend upon which type of gynecomastia you’re experiencing.

Liposuction is typically used to remove excess fat from the body. So, if the gynecomastia is caused largely by fatty deposits, liposuction will generally be an effective treatment option. It involves suctioning out the excess fat, leaving behind a slimmer, more toned chest. Compared to surgery, it’s not as invasive so the recovery time will be much shorter with this type of treatment.

Male breast reduction surgery

The other treatment option for gynecomastia is surgery. This involves making an incision and then cutting out excess tissue. True gynecomastia is caused by a build-up of tissue, rather than fat, making it impossible to eliminate through diet and exercise alone. Surgery is the only way to remove this excess tissue and it’s a relatively straightforward procedure.

Lipo or male breast reduction surgery: which one is right for you?

In order to determine which treatment option is right for you, you’ll need to undergo a diagnosis. This will help identify whether the condition is caused by excess fat, tissue or both. If you are found to have both excess fat and excess tissue in the breast area, you’ll likely be recommended a combination of surgery and liposuction treatment.

If the condition is severe, you’ll also be more likely to need surgery, rather than liposuction. So, it really depends upon which type of gynecomastia you’re suffering with and how severe it is as to which treatment is right for you.

The best way to identify which form of treatment is right for you, is to book a consultation with a specialist. They will be able to give you an accurate diagnosis and a personalised treatment plan to fit your needs.
