Vaser is pulsed ultra-sound.  It DOES NOT remove glandular tissue.  PERIOD!!!  It only works on fat.

Thanks doctor, you sure are the master of the art. I wish there was more doctors like you in London!

Dr. Jacobs has it right.  But many surgeons will try and sell an operation by telling you that Vaser will be enough, and if it's not, then later excision can be carried out.  There's no reason to have staged procedures for the majority of gynecomastia procedures, which generally require both liposuction and excision.  Don't be suckered!

Agree with Dr. Silverman.  Gynecomastia surgery should, in virtually every case, be completed in one operation.  There is absolutely no reason why a surgeon should promote a two operation approach.
