Whilst it is difficult to verify exact statistics, it seems that gynecomastia (male breast reduction,”moob job”) is the most frequent request for cosmetic surgery among males, together with liposuction and rhinoplasty.
In the United States, gynecomastia operations have risen more than 280% over the last 5 years.
We mainly use jet laser technique for gynecomastia(male breast reduction).
This is scar free and has a very short recovery. The minimally invasive jet laser technique currently males up for around 90% of our gynecomastia cases.
In the jet laser technique thin laser fibre is inserted underneath the skin and used to liquify fat.
No scars are involved.
This laser fibre does also destroy the gland, without the need for external incisions.
A big advantage of the laser technique in gynecomastia is the good skin retraction ,which is especially important to our patients.
Laser breast reduction (gynecomastia) is performed under local anesthetic and is ambulatory.
Patients can go home the same day and no instay is usually required.
Scar free laser breast reduction makes up for 97% of our gynecomastia cases.
Patient satisfaction of the laser gynecomastia technique is multifold higher than invasive techniques with external scarring.
