Gynecomastia Surgery Melbourne

Can I get rid of my gynecomastia with diet and exercise?

For some men, working out and eating a balanced diet can help with minimising the appearance of gynecomastia. This doesn’t address the underlying causes of hormonal imbalance, however, and the condition can recur anytime. In stubborn cases, Vaser Liposuction can permanently restore a more masculine appearance to your chest area.

How is male breast reduction in the breast area performed?

After administering a light sedation, and preparing the area for surgery, a small incision is made and a cannula is inserted into the treatment area. The cannula emits ultrasound energy which liquefies fat cells before they are suctioned away. This allows the cosmetic surgeon to precisely reduce the male breast tissue and sculpt the area for permanent results.

What are the advantages of Vaser Liposuction over other methods?

This technique carries fewer risks and complications than traditional liposuction. In fact, it’s much safer because there’s no need for general anaesthetic. Additionally, the chance of developing side-effects such as lumps and unevenness, and even bruising and swelling, are greatly reduced. There’s also some evidence that Vaser helps to tighten excess skin, resulting in smoother, firmer appearance.

How much downtime will I experience?

There is minimal downtime and recovery with this type of day surgery. You may experience some mild discomfort and be required to wear a compression garment to assist with healing. Most patients are able to return to work and resume their normal activities in just a few days.

What is the surgery cost of the Vaser breast reduction procedure?

Pricing for man boob surgery can vary from person to person. As with most surgical procedures, the cost of a male breast reduction can depend on how much fat needs to be removed and other factors. Generally, the price starts at around $3,000 and there may be other additional fees. During your initial consultation you’ll be provided with an exact quote for your gynecomastia treatment.
