ABSTRACT

Background:

The options for treating pseudogynecomastia are limited, and there is a growing demand for noninvasive breast fat reduction. We evaluated the efficacy and safety of a laser-assisted lipolysis (LAL) device emitting 1444 nm for the treatment of pseudogynecomastia.

Methods:

A total of 9 male patients diagnosed with pseudogynecomastia underwent laser procedure with a NdYAG laser emitting at 1444 nm. The goal was to generate adequate heat propagation and thermal action in the dermis as homogeneous as possible to induce fat cell lipolysis. The results were clinically evaluated by comparing pictures at baseline and 4 months later.

Results:

An independent comparison of baseline and post-treatment pictures by a physician evaluator 4 months after treatment revealed significant improvement in all patients. Three subjects (33%) showed grade 4 improvement; 4 (44%) showed grade 3 improvement, and 2 (22%) showed grade 2 improvement. Breast sizes decreased in all patients 4 months after 1444-nm LAL. All patients experienced an incident-free postoperative period.

Conclusions:

The LAL procedure performed in this study using 1444-nm NdYAG laser appears to be a very effective/comfortable outpatient solution to the problem for patients. It has proven a safe procedure, and all subjects in the study experienced a significant clinical improvement regarding their pseudogynecomastia, with a decrease in breast volume and visible skin contraction.
