What is VASER Male Breast Reduction?
VASER stands for ‘Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance’. It uses ultrasound waves to liquefy fat cells, making them easier to extract. The liquefied fat can then be gently suctioned out through a small needle. It’s a perfect solution for gynaecomastia, whether the condition is the result of hormonal changes or excess weight.

Benefits
Forget traditional lipo — VASER wins hands down
VASER is much gentler on the skin than traditional liposuction. It requires only minor incisions and there’s no need for stitches or a general anaesthetic. Recovery time is more than 50% faster; many people are able to return to work in as little as 1 or 2 days. VASER is also capable of removing areas of cellulite, which traditional lipo can’t.

Technique
The VASER technique
First you will be given a mild sedative and put into a ‘twilight state’ where you feel relaxed and sleepy. We will make one or two small incisions in your nipple zone and insert a small probe. This will emit ultrasound waves to break down and liquefy fat cells. We’ll then use a small needle to gently suction out the liquefied fat. The treatment takes about 45 minutes and, due to the twilight anaesthesia, is a comfortable experience.

Results
How will I feel?
Your chest will feel tight and sore, a bit like you’ve done too many bench presses, but it’s not usually painful enough to need more than 1 or 2 days off work. You’ll be given a course of antibiotics and have to wear a compression garment for 6 weeks to maximise skin retraction and minimise any bleeding or swelling. After you have fully healed, you should notice a 50% reduction in pinch thickness in your breasts. These results are permanent and will boost your confidence and allow you to wear clothes that are more fitted.

FAQS
Treatment Questions
-
What is the treatment used for? add_circleVASER is used to treat gynaecomastia, the medical name for the enlargement of a man’s breasts, a condition typically caused by age, weight gain or a hormone imbalance. The VASER treatment liquefies the fat cells in the breast and gently suctions them out, with the aim of producing a 50% reduction in pinch thickness in the breasts. VASER can be used to treat excess fat in other areas of the body too, such as the back, tummy, buttocks, thighs and the underside of the arms.
