Gynecomastia is a potentially embarrassing condition where excess fat develops in a man’s breast area. More common than people may think, it affects around 15% of adult men, but it can seriously undermine your confidence.
However, there are now safe and effective ways to tackle the condition- VASER Liposelection can give you the body you want without the pain and risk of major surgery.
These minimally invasive procedures use the very latest laser and ultrasound cosmetic technology proven to deliver excellent results fast. The procedure takes no more than an hour and is administered under local anaesthetic, with quicker recovery than liposuction meaning less time away from work and exercise.
With over 900 procedures performed to date, The Private Clinic is the UK leading authority in minimally invasive procedures for fat removal. Our doctors have performed more Laser lipo and Vaser liposuction procedures than any other UK doctor. We are the official training centre for Vaser lipo and one of only three clinics in all of Europe, to offer the revolutionary Vaser Hi Def.

What is VASER Lipo and how does it compare to traditional Liposuction?
VASER Lipo is the latest technology to remove fat from your chest. It is far less invasive than traditional liposuction and is performed under local anaesthetic. A small probe transmits ultrasound energy to break up the fatty tissues. The liquefied fat is then removed through a gentle suction process.
What distinguishes the VASER is its ability to differentiate targeted fat from other important tissues - such as nerves, blood vessels and connective tissues - which are left intact.
What are the advantages over traditional Liposuction?
- No need of general anaesthetic
- Limited downtime
- Less scarring, less bruising
- The procedure stimulates collagen production and tightening of the skin, while Liposuction may occasionally results in sagging skin
Does the treatment hurt?
Laser lipo is carried out under local anaesthetic, so you will feel no pain during treatment.
How long does the treatment take?
The length of the treatment depends on the size of the area treated, but generally it is between one and two hours.
How soon will I see results?
Results are visible immediately and will improve further over the following months.
How long do the effects last?
The results are permanent if you maintain a sensible lifestyle after treatment.
Are there any side effects?
Vaser Ultrasound has been a huge success in the US for over 3 years. Overall Vaser has a very good safety track record.
Is there any downtime?
Downtime is minimal and you can resume normal activities almost immediately, although it is best to avoid vigorous physical activity or sports for one to two weeks.
Any swelling and bruising is considerably less than what would be expected with traditional liposuction. It may be necessary to wear an elasticated compression garment for a few days.
How much does the treatment cost?
Treatments start at £2000 for small areas but prices vary depending on the areas to be treated and can only be properly determined after your assessment.
Please be aware that only a few physicians have the level of experience required and advanced experience can significantly improve results. Our doctors have performed the highest number of Vaser procedures in the UK.
