This is at least 10 years away, unfortunately, as it has to be perfected for breast cancer first, which is what is currently being done. 

Also, a company has to invest interest and money to apply it to our cause.

I would rather have a skilled surgeon use a knife that he can control and feel.  I've been in factories where they cut 1-inch thick steel with lasers and I wouldn't want that anywhere near my moobs.  That would definately leave a mark!

Don't worry about the star trek hocus pocus.  Just find yourself a skilled surgeon like Dr. Bermant and you'll be happy.

Here's a reply I got from www.fusfoundation.org:

While it's certainly likely that tissue ablation using focused ultrasound for glandular gynecomastia is possible, it is not clinically approved by the FDA or by treatment centers overseas yet.  Treatment of breast cancer is undergoing clinical trials at the moment, which would involve a similar treatment plan.

I have evolved my Dynamic Technique for Gynecomastia Male Breast Reduction over many years to include an artist's palette of different tools and methods. To date lasers are not satisfactory in what they offer to be included.

I have evaluated many lasers over the years and do not feel they have anything to offer for gynecomastia surgery.  Through the skin laser blasting of fat cells will leave the debris behind for the body to deal with and does not permit removal of firmer gland.  What I have seen of the results disappoint me greatly.  Of the many results seen on my website, none have been done with laser.

By controlling tissue damage my techniques result in:

• minimal bruising after gynecomastia surgery
• less damage minimizes swelling after gynecomastia surgery (slide show of swelling / bruising)
• and maximizes comfort after gynecomastia surgery

I am proud to have patients typically tell me that the Tylenol alone is enough to make them comfortable after surgery and that they used few or none of the stronger prescription medication.  It is not the tools uses, but the skill of the artist that gives the results.

Hope this helps,
