The male breast reduction in which liposuction is performed is usually
called "scarless" male breast reduction surgery. Liposuction in this
area can be done when the man presents breast at the expense of fatty tissue
and not glandular. To differentiate one situation from the other requires a
mammogram. Mammography will show whether the breast is at the expense of
glandular tissue and requires removal, or is at the expense of fatty tissue and
can be liposuctioned.
Although it is necessary to make some incisions, breast reduction
through liposuction is a new technology that began to be used to improve the
image and health of some patients without leaving visible scars. Liposuction breast reduction consists of removing
excess fat tissue from the breasts to reduce the total volume. After the
procedure, the remaining skin will shrink naturally over time, adapting to the
new volume of the breast.

How Does it Work?
Male breast reduction with liposuction is a
quick procedure. The duration of the procedure is usually about 1 hour. After
administering general anesthesia and sterilizing the area to be treated, the
surgeon makes a tiny incision (only three millimeters), generally in the
armpit, which allows the penetration of a cannula through which the fat will be
aspirated. Once the suction of the fat is finished, the cannula is removed and
the incision is closed with suture. The resulting scar is almost invisible
thanks to the tiny size of the incision.

suspicions. Every patient is required to undergo preliminary examinations to
ensure that nothing can hinder the success of the procedure and if any risk detected
at this stage, surgeons try to eliminate them first.
