Treating Gynecomastia with Laser Lipolysis

Gynecomastia is the growth of abnormally large breasts in men primarily caused by the excessive growth of breast tissue. The condition can affect men of all ages and is a source of embarrassment, lowering self confidence and self esteem. Gynecomastia sometimes resolves on its own. When it does not, it is advisable to seek medical advice. Male breast reduction surgery is a recommended solution and plastic surgeons perform the procedure using minimally invasive SmartLipo™ Triplex, the advanced laser-assisted workstation from Cynosure. Treatment can result in a more masculine-looking chest.

Laser Liposuction for Male Breast Reduction

This FDA approved SmartLipo device makes use of three powerful laser wavelengths – 1440, 1320, 1064 nm – to effectively remove the fibrous fat tissues and also tighten the overlying skin. The procedure starts with numbing the treatment site with a tumescent local anesthesia to allow the laser to function in a painless environment. The tiny laser-enabled cannula of the device is inserted into the treatment area through a small incision. The delivery of laser energy liquefies the fat cells and simultaneously coagulates the blood vessels and tightens the skin. The liquefied fat is extracted through the same incision using a suction device without causing much discomfort to the patient.

This device also features intelligent delivery systems such as SmartSense, ThermaGuide and ThermaView. SmartSense is a hand piece delivery system that emits the right amount of energy to achieve the best possible results. ThermaView improves quality and safety and also does away with the requirement for handheld thermal cameras. ThermaGuide provides superior temperature sensing that helps to prevent burns. With these systems the temperature and the amount of laser energy delivered can be accurately monitored so that excess energy is not transmitted, thereby preventing overtreatment and related complications.

This laser liposuction treatment is carried out under local anesthesia. As the procedure requires only tiny incisions there is minimal bleeding and bruising. Recovery time is short, allowing patients to resume mild activity soon after the procedure. The successful removal of fat will improve chest contour and result in a well-contoured, manly physique. Liposuction using Smartlipo Triplex has the following advantages:

>> Reduced treatment time and less downtime

>> Minimal surgical trauma

>> Minimal bruises, bleeding and swelling

>> Minimal pain and discomfort

>> Fast recovery

>> Minimal scarring

>> Natural looking results

For safe and effective gynecomastia treatment, it is crucial to get treatment at an AAAASF-accredited plastic surgery practice with plastic surgeons experienced in laser lipolysis.
