CoolSculpting Gets Rid of Male Breasts (Pseudo Gynecomastia)
While the technical term is “Gynecomastia” we’ve also heard our male patients refer to their male breasts as “man boobs” or “moobs”. But no matter what you call it, excess fat in a man’s breast area can be an embarrassing and confidence shattering condition.
But now there’s great news! An affordable, state-of-the-art, non-surgical treatment called CoolSculpting™ is very effective in reducing the size of “male breasts” in certain men.
We have helped many men with fatty breast areas get a more sculpted and masculine chest with CoolSculpting! Imagine being able to take your shirt of with confidence at the beach, at the gym, or even during those most intimate moments.
Male Breast Reduction: Gynecomastia & Pseudo-Gynecomastia
Gynecomastia actually refers to an abnormal development of large mammary glands in men – resulting in enlarged breasts. However, Pseudo-gynecomastia refers to the excess deposit of fat in a man’s chest, which also gives the appearance of “feminine” breasts. It is important to understand that these two different types of gynecomastia have different causes, as well as different treatment options.
Actual Gynecomastia results from a hormonal imbalance, while Pseudo-gynecomastia is the result of fat deposits which are often hereditary or the result of weight gain.
Gynecomastia is generally first treated with hormone therapy – and may sometimes require surgery to remove the excess breast glandular tissue. CoolSculpting is not effective for “hormonal” gynecomastia – however board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ali can provide you with other effective male breast reduction options for hormonal gynecomastia
CoolSculpting, however, is highly effective in treating pseudo-gynecomastia by eliminating the fat deposits in the male breast area. Doctor Ali offers a and discreet consultation to help you determine which type of “male breasts” you have – and the best treatment options.
CoolSculpting for Male Breasts
CoolSculpting male breast reduction treatments only takes about one hour per side. The procedure is completely non-surgical and non-invasive. This means that there is no scarring, and no one will ever be able to tell you that had the treatment!
The CoolSculpting device is an advanced piece of equipment that literally freezes the fatty areas of the male breast, effectively destroying the fat cells. Over the next couple months, the fat cells will be completely eliminated by the body’s natural processes. As the cells are gradually flushed from the body, patients will see the size of their breasts reduce dramatically.
There is no downtime after CoolSculpting, so you can resume your normal activities immediately. Many men go back to work or to the gym the same day as their CoolSculpting male breast treatment!
Each CoolSculpting procedure will eliminate about 20% of the fat cells in an area. For this reason, depending upon the amount of fat, a second treatment is sometimes recommended for optimal results. Full breast reduction results are seen in about 2 months.

Other Treatments for Male Breast Reduction
Dr. Ali also offers liposuction to remove fat from men’s breasts. surgical procedure that requires small incisions and the physical removal of excess fat from the chest. It’s an effective solution for more significant gynecomastia cases, providing immediate and highly customizable results. However, liposuction does involve anesthesia and a longer recovery period with potential swelling and discomfort.
Additionally, true gynecomastia is a medical condition in which men develop fatty breast tissue in the chest area. Gynecomastia may be present from birth, or it could develop later in life as a result of disease, a metabolic disorder, or as a result of natural aging. In cases of glandular gynecomastia, male breast reduction surgery is the best option to successfully restore a flat, firm masculine appearance to the chest.
