Gynecomastia

While women are often seen complaining about their large or small breasts and how they want plastic surgeries and implants to get the best shape and size, men are not an exception in these matters. Gynecomastia is a condition that men suffer from and it is related to their breasts.

What’s Gynecomastia?

Men have breasts that look like female breasts in this condition. There are no health related risks associated with this condition but the embarrassment that comes with woman-like breasts is enough of a problem for most men. However, with modern plastic surgery techniques, it is now possible to treat men with large breasts and make them look their desired body shape. While there are many different techniques used to treat gynecomastia, the most popular presently is the laser treatment. It is minimally invasive and one of the safest methods for treating the condition.

Laser Lipolysis and Laser Assisted Lipolysis for Gynecomastia

Laser lipolysis is currently the most minimally invasive method available for men to have their breast size reduced to normal. In this method, the surgeon uses fiber-optic laser travelling at different wavelengths in order to melt the fat that is making the breasts larger. Conventional liposuction involves the insertion of a vacuum tube which than extracts the excessive fat. Experts have also discovered that laser lipolysis can help in boosting collagen production in the skin. Collagen is the protein that makes the skin tight and firm.

Now, many surgeons recommend going with a combination of liposuction and laser assistance together. This particular procedure is surgical where you will be given anesthesia and the downtime after the procedure is longer.

After Laser Assisted Lipolysis Treatment

If you pick laser-assisted liposuction, you will have to experience some downtime. It will be wrong to say that you will be normal the next day. It might take a little more than a week for you to fully heal. The most common effect you will notice after the treatment is swelling in the region where the surgery was performed. A compression garment can often help ramping up the process of healing. While the bruising and swelling might stay with you for a few days, you should not have any problems doing your normal routine work after a couple of days. However, any physically demanding activities should be avoided for as long as the swelling and bruising is there.

After Non-surgical Laser Lipolysis

An important thing to notice here is that if you go for purely laser lipolysis, where only laser is used to heat and melt the fat, you can be up and running right after the treatment. There is no anesthesia needed for this procedure and you can start with your sports activities a couple of days after the treatment. If you are someone who does not compromise on his health activities i.e. going to the gym, laser lipolysis without surgery is the best procedure for you to treat your gynecomastia.

Before you go for the surgical or non-surgical laser lipolysis, make sure you have thoroughly researched your surgeon. Look at their credentials and go for the treatment only after you are fully satisfied.
