Men who suffer from enlargement in their breasts should first learn from
their doctor what type of condition (gynecomastia or another) they have and
what treatment they need. Because treatment options vary depending on whether
the overdeveloped breast is from fat, breast gland, or a combination of the
two. Liposuction is the most commonly used method to remove accumulated adipose
tissue in male breasts. Today, apart from traditional liposuction, there are
many new generation liposuction techniques that shorten the procedure and
recovery time. Slim Lipo technique is one of them. Slim Lipo is a laser liposuction
technique designed to reduce the side effects associated with traditional
liposuction. This type of liposuction is one of the most frequently performed
cosmetic procedures. This laser technology uses an appropriate wavelength to
liquefy the fat and tighten the skin in specific areas. For this reason, it is
considered to be the most effective procedure for treating localized fat
deposits, such as excessive fat tissue in the male breasts, since it
permanently eliminates it.

or adipose tissue, size, consistency or any excess skin, and fat.

Other tests may also be indicated based on clinical findings. Every patient is
required to undergo preoperative 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.
5. Surgery
Slim Lipo offers a minimally invasive
technique in contrast to the usual liposuction. Patients are only given local
anesthesia. In the process of reducing fat in the male breasts by Slim Lipo,
all nerves and blood vessels remain unharmed. The newly developed laser uses a
dual-wavelength of approx. 924 and 975 nanometers for precise fat reduction.
The fat in the breasts is destroyed and liquefied by the first wavelength. The
second wavelength then supports the skin-tightening processes in the breasts.
For larger amounts of fat, surgeons can also use a small cannula, which
aspirates the liquid cells.

garment to maintain the optimal shape of the breasts. Of course, the body still

success long-term, a healthy lifestyle is necessary.
