While most men consider a muscular, toned chest quite desirable, millions of men struggle with the opposite: Oversized breasts. Gynecomastia can be embarrassing and hard to manage. That’s where an expert plastic surgeon can step in to help.

With over 20 years of experience, renowned Scottsdale plastic surgeon Dr. Sean Lille provides high-level male body sculpting at a competitive price that fits your budget. Surgical solutions like liposuction and tissue excision can help restore a flatter, more masculine chest. But how do you know which you need? Read on to find out.

Understanding the Root Cause

Before choosing a treatment, it’s important to know the difference between true gynecomastia and pseudogynecomastia.

• Gynecomastia is the growth of glandular tissue within the breasts.
• Pseudogynecomastia is breast fat accumulation without glandular tissue.

Dr. Lille will assess your chest to determine which type you have, as this guides the right approach.

How the Two Procedures Compare

Here’s how liposuction and tissue excision differ:

• Liposuction: Dr. Lille performs the most advanced type of ultrasonic liposuction: VASER lipo. It uses ultrasound energy to break up fat cells before suctioning them out. This allows for more precise sculpting, less trauma to surrounding tissues, and a smoother recovery than traditional liposuction. The heat from the laser also promotes improved tightening under the skin. VASER liposuction can be a great choice for men with extra fat in the chest area because it targets fat precisely and also enhances muscle definition.
• Tissue Excision: Tissue excision is needed when breast enlargement is mainly due to dense glandular tissue. This involves making an incision, near the areola, to remove the tough tissue that liposuction can’t treat.

In many cases, men with an enlarged chest have both extra glandular tissue and fat. Dr. Lille can combine the two techniques for the most complete, natural-looking result.

During your consultation, Dr. Lille will examine your chest, discuss your goals, and explain your options clearly.
