About Male Breast Reduction

This is performed when men have excess enlarged breasts as a result of overgrowth of breast tissue as well as excess fat. The procedure usually involves liposuction with direct excision of the underlying breast tissue using a small incision just below the areola. The nipple areolar complex and skin will then shrink up to create a much better contour over the underlying pectoralis major muscle.

Recovery Process

There will be some post-operative bruising, swelling, and burning sensation. To assist with the swelling and healing process, the patient will wear a pressure garment for 3-6 weeks. Patients sometimes report minor pain associated with surgery which can be treated effectively with oral pain medication. While complications are rare, patients can minimize the risk for potential problems by carefully following post-op instructions.
