Gynecomastia literally means "woman breast," and this increase in tissue usually occurs at times when the male is having hormonal changes, such as during infancy, adolescence, and aging. Often men actually have pseudogynecomastia or "false gynocomastia" though they believe th Pseudogynecomastia is common among males whose bodies store fat readily in the chest or pectoral region. "When gynecomastia is from fat, liposuction works very well for contouring the chest," said Dr. Ishoo.

"Although a big muscular chest is always desired, large fatty breast on a male chest is not. This is a common source of embarrassment causing a low self-esteem for most men. They avoid taking their shirt off to go swimming and wearing of tight shirts makes it more noticeable. For many men treatment of this condition is well worth the cost," he added.

Traditional liposuction was often inadequate due to the glandular and fibrous nature of the tissue. However, VASER lipo uses ultrasound to gently break up and melt the tissue before is suctioned out leading to less tissue damage, less bruising, and an easier recovery. Dr. Ishoo most often treats gynecomastia with Vaser alone and uses minimally invasive nipple incisions, which are very inconspicuous and heal very rapidly. "By melting and suctioning excess fat from the chest, we can improve the shape and contour of your body for a more aesthetically pleasing appearance," he said.

Dr. Ishoo is able to use VASER Liposelection to remove the fat and naturally shape the chest to create not just a flat area but also a well-defined and natural look. Sometimes there is a small bud of glandular tissue that cannot be removed with suction alone. In this instance, a small incision is made around the nipple to remove the tissue at the same time as the VASER Liposelection procedure. "VASER Liposelection has revolutionized the treatment of certain gynecomastia cases and we are achieving much better results compared to traditional techniques," added Dr. Ishoo.
