Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Protocol is intended for the clinical evaluation of fat reduction in male breasts (pseudogynecomastia) using the ZELTIQ Coolsculpting System. The ZELTIQ Coolsculpting system has received market clearance from the U.S.FDA for non-invasive fat layer reduction in the flanks, and is commercially available.

Primary study endpoint is changes in the shape and reduction of the fat in the breast as established by photographic imaging and ultrasound imaging of the treated area.

Secondary endpoints will provide supportive data to evaluate device performance (subject satisfaction \& fat reduction measured with ultrasound).

2. Subject has clearly visible, palpable, excess fatty tissue in their breast area, and minimal fibrous tissue.
3. Subject has not had weight change exceeding 10 pounds in the preceding month.
4. Subject agrees to maintain their weight (i.e., within +/- 5 pounds) by not making any major changes in their diet or lifestyle during the course of the study.
5. Subject has read and signed a written informed consent form.

Exclusion Criteria

EXCLUDED:

<!-- -->

1. Subject has had a surgical procedure(s) in the area of intended treatment.
2. Subject has had an invasive fat reduction procedure (e.g., liposuction or mesotherapy) in the area of intended treatment.
3. Subject has had a non-invasive fat reduction and/or body contouring procedure in the area of intended treatment.
4. Subject needs to administer, or has a known history of, subcutaneous injections into the area of intended treatment (e.g., heparin, insulin) within the past month.
5. Subject has a known history of cryoglobulinemia, cold urticaria, or paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria.
6. Subject has a known history of Raynaud's disease, or any known condition with a response to cold exposure that limits blood flow to the skin.

13. Personal history of previous breast malignancy.
14. Any other condition or laboratory value that would, in the professional opinion of the investigator, potentially affect the subject's response or the integrity of the data or would pose an unacceptable risk to the subject.
15. Subject is taking any medication which could cause abnormal breast enlargement - including but not limited to: digoxin, furosemide, gonadotropins, clomiphene, phenytoin, and exogenous testosterone, ketoconazole, metronidazole, alkylating agents, cisplatin, spironolactone, cimetidine, flutamide, finasteride, etomidate, isonicotinic acid hydrazide, methyldopa, busulfan, tricyclic antidepressants, diazepam, penicillamine, omeprazole, phenothiazines, calcium channel blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors.
16. Recent history (within the past 5 years) of substance abuse (alcohol, marijuana or heroin).
