VASER liposuction for streamlined treatment & easier recovery

Dr. Robert Caridi is one of the most innovative and trusted names in plastic surgery

While utilizing the most advanced technologies on the market and developing recognized treatments to provide Austin gynecomastia surgery patients with the best experience and results. VASER ultrasonic liposuction is a cutting-edge technology that employs sound energy to break up fat. This treatment allows for smaller incisions and gentler fat extraction, ultimately delivering a faster and easier recovery as part of gynecomastia surgery. Dr. Caridi strives to offer the best male breast liposuction Austin has to offer and employs this revolutionary modality to remove excess fat and sculpt the male chest. This, in conjunction with the excision of gynecomastia tissue, allows Austin Gynecomastia Center to deliver the results you want.

What is VASER liposuction?

VASER (Vibrating Amplification of Sound Energy at resonance) delivers powerful sound waves beneath the skin’s surface to break up fat and separate it from surrounding tissues, allowing for gentler and more complete removal.

In addition, VASER liposuction allows for the use of a thinner cannula and smaller incisions than traditional liposuction alone. At Austin Gynecomastia Center, VASER liposuction happens before the surgical removal of the gynecomastia gland. VASER lipo does not remove the gland, but it helps improve the gynecomastia surgery process by removing other fat and tissue and reducing downtime.

What are the benefits of male breast liposuction for gynecomastia treatment?

Male breast liposuction is an effective treatment for permanently eliminating excess fat in the chest that detracts from your toned, masculine appearance.

VASER’s unique method of breaking up fat so it can be removed via liposuction greatly reduces the size of the incision needed to remove the gynecomastia tissue. This results in less scarring and faster recovery times. With a more masculine chest, you can once again feel comfortable and confident in your skin. Excess tissue in the male breast can cause extreme emotional distress, negatively impacting your emotional health and sense of well-being. With a restored sense of masculinity and attractiveness, you will feel empowered to enjoy life more fully.

Am I a candidate for Male Breast Liposuction?

If you are a male with excess breast tissue that does not go away with weight change, you are likely a candidate for male breast liposuction as part of your gynecomastia surgery. However, it is important to note that all gynecomastia surgeries performed at Austin Gynecomastia Center use both male breast liposuction and surgical removal of gynecomastia tissue, as full gynecomastia removal cannot be achieved using liposuction alone.

What to Expect During Your Male Breast Liposuction Procedure

Your procedure may be performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia.

Before male breast liposuction, Dr. Caridi will apply markings to your chest to serve as a visual guide during your procedure. He will then create a small incision in the axilla or armpit and another along the bottom edge of the areola through which he will access the layer of fat that sits between your skin and the underlying muscle.

Using a tumescent cannula, Dr. Caridi will administer a local anesthesia and epinephrine solution to reduce bleeding and reduce discomfort during and after your liposuction procedure. Next, he will use VASER ultrasound energy to break up fat, allowing it to be suctioned out more effectively. He will insert the liposuction cannula and gently move it throughout the target area, suctioning out fat and sculpting your chest. Then, once liposuction is complete, Dr. Caridi will surgically remove the excess gynecomastia tissue and sculpt your chest to its optimal shape. He will then close your incisions and send you home to recover.

Male Breast Liposuction Recovery & Results

Dr. Caridi will fit you in a special compression garment that will help your results develop smoothly and allow your skin to retract around your new chest shape. Most of our Austin male breast liposuction patients will be able to return to work and other regular activities just one to two days after their procedure. You will immediately notice a difference in your chest’s shape and size, however, it will take some time for swelling to fully resolve, revealing your final results.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between male breast liposuction and gynecomastia surgery?

Male breast liposuction and gynecomastia surgery both involve the removal of excess fat from the chest. However, gynecomastia surgery also includes the removal of glandular tissue and excess skin. In addition, gynecomastia surgery may necessitate the repositioning of the nipple-areolar complex and can include excess skin removal and nipple repositioning if necessary. However, most cases do not involve excess skin removal or nipple repositioning.

Additional Reading

At Austin Gynecomastia Center, we do not perform male breast liposuction as a standalone procedure. Rather, we feel male breast liposuction and gynecomastia tissue removal together are the only method to truly deliver the best gynecomastia results.

Can I get liposuction of my abs/flanks during my gynecomastia procedure?

You can, but it is important to know that liposuction is not a weight loss procedure. In general, the abdomen and flanks are areas that respond well to weight loss solutions, and if you are overweight, the simple solution may be to lose the weight. Liposuction of these areas in men who are overweight is not always appropriate and may lead to disappointment at some juncture. It is best to be close to your ideal weight (Body Mass Index) before considering liposuction of your abdomen and love handles.

How soon will I be able to work out after male breast liposuction?

You will be able to resume working out about ten days after your procedure. However, you will need to avoid exercising your chest muscles for a few weeks. Dr. Caridi will provide you with detailed instructions regarding your post-operative care and restrictions.

Will my skin be loose after my male breast liposuction?

Since liposuction decreases the amount of volume beneath the skin, removing a large amount of fat can cause loose skin. However, Dr. Caridi knows the right amount of fat to suction out for your skin to shrink around your post-procedure form naturally. In most cases, skin retraction will happen on its own, but the provided compression garment will also encourage the skin around your chest to lay down flat and tighten nicely.
