ABSTRACT
Gynecomastia is a prevelent problem in the male population. Although medical treatment
may be an option, patients commonly present to the plastic surgeon for treatment.
Surgical options include open excision, lipoplasty, and, more recently, ultrasound-assisted
lipoplasty (UAL). UAL offers a number of advantages over traditional lipoplasty, many
of which are particularly applicable to the male breast. UAL is a valuable tool for
the treatment of genecomastia.
