What Can I Expect from Male Breast Reduction Surgery?

If you or someone you know is considering male breast reduction surgery, this is a good question to ask.  Here in Newport Beach we can promise optimal results after male breast reduction surgery.  Male breast reduction is regarded as long-lasting and permanent unless fatty tissue is added from gaining weight after the procedure.  And as long as your condition is not caused by medications or other medical conditions you can expect a firmer, flatter, more contoured chest after having a male breast reduction in Newport Beach.  This surgery can easily give any man more confidence and you can expect the best quality with us.

There is little downtime and most men return to work within one week unless their job involves strenuous lifting or other activities. After surgery some scarring may be present around the nipple (the areola) but with time it will fade and become visible only to those looking for scars.  You can also expect some post-operative bruising, and swelling but this too is usually temporary and mild.  Occasionally numbness, a burning or a lack of sensation right around areola occurs because the procedure disturbs the nerve endings in the area and nerves often take the longest to completely regenerate.  An elastic pressure garment will assist with the healing and can be worn for 3-6 weeks following the procedure.  It’s also wise to avoid exposing any scarred areas to the sun for at least 6 months. Complications are infrequent but they may include infection, skin damage, fluid accumulation, bleeding, and scarring or pigment changes.

Most male breast reduction surgeries are done on an outpatient basis; the procedure itself is about two hours.  You can expect to be at the surgical facility an hour or so before and perhaps an hour or so after the procedure.  We here in Newport Beach want you to have the best experience possible so contact our office today and we can schedule an appointment to discuss the options available to you.  If you have your procedure with us, you can rest assure that you are in qualified, caring hands.
