What Can You Tell Me About Man Boobs Liposuction Surgery?

Man boobs liposuction surgery is also known as male chest reduction. During this procedure, excess fat will be removed from the male chest. Dr Lanzer has years of experience with these procedures and has executed many of these liposuction procedures over the course of his career.

Problems such as man boobs are caused by excess fat developing in the male breast area. Many people associate man boobs with overweight, but this is not always the case. A lot of men undergoing diets and exercise sometimes find that the man boobs remain, giving them serious problems with self-esteem and confidence.

A liposuction procedure will take care of the excess fat that is causing the man boobs. There are also various types of man boobs liposuction procedures, including Vaser liposuction, micro liposuction and surgical liposuction. Vaser liposuction is the least invasive treatment for man boobs and there is no need for a full anaesthetic.

Patients can also opt for the micro liposuction, where cannulas are used to remove the fat from the breast area. This procedure also has some specific benefits, more specifically a reduced risk of irregularities in the skin.

There is also an additional option, surgical liposuction, this option is usually considered when Vaser or micro liposuction are not an option. Patients with a very large amount of fat in the breast will usually be better off with surgical liposuction instead of Vaser or micro liposuction.

How Long Will I Be Out After Man Boobs Liposuction Surgery?

Downtime usually depends on the type of surgery you have. The downtime on Vaser and micro liposuction is usually a lot less than traditional liposuction surgery, although the side-effects are usually the same. Most patients who have undergone either of these procedures are usually able to get back to their normal activities quickly. The less invasive procedures will require you to take some downtime of 48 to 72 hours, however, the exact recovery time does depend on the evaluation of Dr Lanzer and the type of procedure you went for.

Can Man Boobs Liposuction Surgery Have Any Complications or Side-Effects?

Can Breast Reduction Surgery Cause Complications?

Any type of cosmetic surgery can cause complications. Even though cosmetic procedures have evolved and become safer over the years, there is always a small chance of complications. Therefore, it is important that patients are fully informed about possible complications that could arise from a procedure.

Before the surgeon can go ahead with breast reduction surgery, the patient must understand the complications that could accompany the treatment. These complications are usually provided to the patient in a consent form, which must be signed before the procedure takes place.

One complication patients should be aware of specifically after their surgery is infection. Even though you will be given some medication to prevent such a complication, patients should always look out for signs of infection post-surgery. The Dr Lanzer team will provide you with information regarding the signs of infection.

When you believe you might be suffering from an infection or another abnormal side-effect after your surgery, it is important to contact the Dr Lanzer Clinic immediately.
