What's the general consensus of this procedure/doctor? Thanks.

Here is what the website says:
Male chest reduction is commonly performed to treat enlarged male breasts, a condition known as gynecomastia. Although gynecomastia can affect up to 50% of all men, the treatment for this condition has been revolutionized by the introduction of ultrasound assisted liposuction. Our surgeon, Dr. Edwin Ishoo, utilizes the most advanced form of this, known as VASER Liposelection. By emulsifying and suctioning excess fat from the chest, we can improve the shape and contour of your body for a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. At Boston Cosmetic Surgery Center, Dr. Edwin Ishoo performs male chest reduction to improve the contour and shape of the chest for a more masculine appearance. If you suffer from gynecomastia or fatty chest, male chest reduction may an option for you. Most men with gynecomastia avoid physical activity or intimacy, but thanks to modern advancements in cosmetic surgery, males suffering with this condition now have hope.

We have discussed Vaser lipo many times on this forum.  Vaser, and laser-lipo, and Body-Jet (water assisted lipo) are all new technologies which are being hyped as the "latest and greatest"  for gyne as well as other areas of the body.  But amongst knowledgeable surgeons, they offer little if any advantage over traditional forms of lipo.

Vaser can work on fat -- but it has no effect on breast (gland) tissue.  Be sure to speak to your surgeon to make sure he is prepared to perform an excision of any remaining gland after the Vaser has been performed.
