Hey guys I was wondering if anyone has heard of this...it is a non-invasive male breast reduction/"chest contouring" procedure using soundwaves.

Sounds promising but the think that concerns me a bit is that it says "fat" and not estrogen (or glands?).

Has anyone heard of this before? I think a small change could pay big dividends for me which is why I am considering this rather than surgery (please google Chest Contouring Dr. Michael Gray) to see it

Yes, there are some new non-invasive machines to spot reduce fat on parts of the body -- and yes, some docs are using it on the male chest.  The problem is that, at best, it can reduce fat -- but it cannot (by its own design) remove breast tissue.  Also, you have to wait about 3 months to see the effects and then there will be a suggestion that you do another treatment to get even more results.

The net effect is that you will still have gland and need a surgical excision regardless.  And you will be out of pocket for one or more  of these non-surgical procedures which in essence, did very little.

I would suggest that if you do decide to go this route, get back to us on this forum to provide info about your experience -- pro or con.
