MEN’s CHEST FAT FREEZING
STUBBORN CHEST FAT? WE GET IT
A firm chest should signal strength—but stubborn excess tissue, often known as “man boobs,” can feel like a confidence dampener. Fat freezing (cryolipolysis) is your discreet and proven non-surgical solution to reduce chest fat and redefine your upper body—without needles or downtime.
HOW IT WORKS
Fat Freezing (also known as Cryolipolysis) uses controlled cooling to specifically target and eliminate fat cells in the chest. These fat cells are vulnerable to cold and die off, then are naturally eliminated by your body’s lymphatic system. The results are permanent, provided you stay active and maintain a healthy weight.
WHY FAT FREEZING BEATS TRADITIONAL SURGERY
Non-invasive: No anaesthetic, no incisions, no recovery.
Minimal downtime: Walk out and get on with your day—gym, work, life—no pause.
Cost-effective: More affordable than surgical alternatives, with results that last.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING TREATMENT
During Treatment:
Suction and cold on the chest area - initial cooling, then numbness. Possible soreness, redness, tingling, bruising—typically resolves in days/weeks. Your nipples may be very sensitive for a few days after the treatment; however, we do apply an additional protective gel membrane over your nipples to help alleviate this and avoid it.
Session lasts: 40 minutes as per treatment guidelines.
After treatment:
Gradual fat reduction over weeks to months. Expect results to begin after 2–3 weeks, with full effect by 12 weeks.
RISKS
Common side effects include redness, numbness, swelling, or bruising—all typically mild and short-lived. A rare condition called paradoxical adipose hyperplasia (PAH) may increase fat in the area in under 1% of cases. This side effect is treated with liposuction, and there is no indicated physiological /health dangers to you if this does occur. It is considered inconvenient and unsightly but can be treated.
Always ensure the procedure is performed by trained professionals using TGA-approved devices.
HOW MANY TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?
It is impossible to indicate how many treatments you will need without viewing your body, also everyone responds differently to treatment. We need to see the size of the area the thickness of the subcutaneous chest fat before we can give an indicative cost and treatment plan.
We prefer to work conservatively with our clients so that we obtain the best body contouring so that the area we have treated sits suitably with the adjacent tissue, without dents or lumps. The images located here are both after just one treatment, but at 12 weeks and 4 weeks after just one session of fat freezing treatment on the chest.
*It is important to remember that it takes up to 12 weeks for all of the damaged cells to be eliminated from the body.
We request that our clients attend the clinic for an in-person consultation to ascertain an individualised treatment plan. We can assess the tissue and indicate a recommended treatment plan in line with your desired outcomes. Often clients will call and request a price over the phone, which we are reluctant to provide. Fat freezing is permanent and we want to get it right. We wont just quote to get money when we are impacting someone’s body permanently. You wouldn’t go into surgery without meeting the surgeon and a surgeon wouldn’t perform cosmetic surgery without seeing you first. Fat freezing is no different. It is permanent so care and quality of treatment is important.
Fat freezing is a permanent and safe way to reduce men’s chest fat.
WHAT CAUSES PSEUDO GYNAECOMASTIA AKA MAN BOOBS?
FIRST THING IS TO DETERMINE IF IT IS GYNAECOMASTIA OR PSEUDOGYNECOMASTIA?
True gynecomastia
Enlargement of glandular breast tissue
Usually related to hormones, medications or medical conditions
Fat freezing cannot destroy glandular tissue
Surgery is usually the definitive treatment.
Pseudogynecomastia (lipomastia)
Enlargement due primarily to subcutaneous fat
There is little or no excess glandular tissue
This fat is theoretically amenable to cryolipolysis because it is the same type of fat treated on the abdomen or flanks.
WHAT IS THE TREATMENT FOR PSEUDOGYNAECOMASTIA AKA MAN BOOBS?
The treatment of pseudo-gynaecomastia with fat freezing is an off-label use. In Australia, off-label use of a medical device means using a device for a purpose that is outside its approved intended purpose as listed in the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG).
At My Temple - We require our clients to obtain an ultrasound and medical assessment to ensure that they are in fact suffering from pseudo-gynaecomastic. We will provide you a letter to take to your Doctor to explain fat freezing and our request for your suitability for treatment.
CLINICAL EVIDENCE OF SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT OF MAN BOOBS (PSEUDO-GYNECOMASTIA) WITH FAT FREEZING (CRYOLIPOLYSIS)
Although the following two articels have a relatively small sample size (21 and 16 participants) both indicate a reduction in the chest circumference after fat freezing treatment.
Cryolipolysis for Targeted Fat Reduction and Improved Appearance of the Enlarged Male Breast. Please click here to read the article.
95% reported improved appearance.
89% reported reduced embarrassment.
Ultrasound confirmed a reduction in fat thickness.
The treatment was considered safe and well tolerated.
Efficacy and Safety of Cold-Induced Noninvasive Targeted Fat Reduction in Pseudogynecomastia. Please read this article here
This study also found statistically significant reductions in:
chest circumference,
ultrasound-measured fat thickness,
and patient satisfaction,
concluding that cryolipolysis can be an effective option for mild to moderate pseudogynecomastia without excess skin, and evidence from a scientific perspective, that fat freezing works when the chest enlargement is due to increased fat accumulation rather than glands
