Male Breast Reduction

Fortunately, gynecomastia is easily treated by male breast reduction. Here in Northbrook, Illinois, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Mark Sisco can help you restore a masculine look to your chest.

During

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.

After

After your outpatient surgery is complete, you can return home to rest. Most male breast reduction patients take less than a week to recuperate at home before returning to work and light activity. You’ll need to wear a bandage, but it is well concealed beneath your clothes. Adhering to good diet and exercise habits is the best way to make the results of your male breast reduction permanent.
