How Is Male Breast Reduction Performed?
Depending on the extent of your surgery, Dr. Sisco may place you under general anesthesia or simply use a local anesthetic with sedation. In some cases, he may use only liposuction to create the desired result. More advanced cases may require excision of the mammary gland. In either case, Dr. Sisco uses small incisions, which heal with discreet scars.
