In most cases, the recent up take in interest for such remedial procedures has come from those without a recognised medical need, i.e. those simply carrying a little extra 'flab' or fatty tissue and not the characteristic breast tissue as would be normally found in females only.
In such cases, surgical operations to remove tissue have tended to be
unnecessary and fat removal options have seen the most significant rises, especially in light of advancements in the technologies of
liposuction and
laser lipolysis, most notably with
VASER® Liposelection and
SmartLipo®, which have lead to
quicker, less invasive procedures which can be performed in minor surgical rooms within private clinics as opposed to larger surgical operating theatres for male breast reduction surgery.
