Gynecomastia - Male Breast Reduction

We help men reduce the size of their breasts through liposuction or excision of breast tissue. The result of male breast reduction is a flatter, firmer, more contoured chest.

Duration
Male breast reduction takes approximately 1 to 2 hours.

Anesthesia
In many cases, depending on the procedure, you will receive general anesthesia.

In/Outpatient
Your procedure is usually done on an outpatient basis but you may elect to spend the night at Comfort Cottage with a nurse available to help you.

Side Effects
You may experience temporary bruising, swelling, numbness, soreness and a burning sensation.

Risks
There are certain risks with all surgical procedures. In male breast reduction the most common risks include infection, bleeding and fluid retention.

Recovery
You should be able to return to a limited routine within 1 week. More strenuous activity should be avoided for 3 to 4 weeks.

Duration of Results
Male breast reduction is permanent.

Disclaimer
We make sure every procedure is uniquely tailored to provide you the best results. During your consultation you will receive specific information regarding your individual case.
