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.

Recovery After Male Breast Reduction

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 a good diet and consistent exercise is the best way to make the results of your male breast reduction permanent.

In Chicago, the cost of male breast reduction surgery depends on several different factors. These include the following:

Along the way to dealing with breast cancer, I discovered a team of wonderful doctors who guided me to make the best decisions about my health first — but to also make me feel whole and happy in the end. Dr. Sisco especially had the patience to help me overcome some problems, and I felt more than pleased with the reconstruction, even in the early stages. I now look better than when I began this journey.

I was referred to Dr. Sisco by my primary doctor and I couldnt be happier to have met him and his team and had my breast reduction surgery done with Dr. Sisco. He is truly an amazing surgeon and felt completely 100% comfortable with him. Very understanding and patient listening to my questions and concerns. If I ever need anything done in the future, I will definitely have Dr. Sisco only conduct any procedure for me. Thanks Dr. Sisco for everything!!!!

I was referred to Dr.Sisco last year by my gyno and I will forever be grateful for that. Dr.Sisco and his team were amazing, from the day of consultation all the way to my post-op appointment. Clear communication, genuinely cared, guided me through the process and followed up with me after surgery. Let me also not forget to mention how my results really exceeded my expectations! Thank you Dr.Sisco & Team!
Cindy Paredes
I was referred to Dr. Sisco in November of 2019 by my oncologist. Right off the bat, Dr. Sisco and his team showed great care and genuine concern for my health. This was my first time enduring a procedure of this magnitude, and Dr. Sisco did a wonderful job of thoroughly answering all of my questions while calming my anxieties. Before and after having the operation, a large concern was about how I would feel confident with such a large change being made to my body. Now, when I look in the mirror I realize that my fears were in vain. My breast looks very natural and it's almost symmetrical to the other breast. As a young black woman, I am aware that our pain is often overlooked by healthcare workers. I am relieved to say that this was not my experience with Dr. Sisco and his team! If you are feeling nervous about undergoing this procedure, I highly recommend working with them. They are very patient, understanding, and dedicated to their job. They care for the total you!!!

He’s such an amazing doctor, with great bedside manners. I am beyond happy with the results of my double mastectomy and diep reconstruction and so is my hubby, “wink wink” Thank you so much Dr. Sisco for making me look and feel better than what I did before I walked into your office. I have absolutely no regrets whatsoever. I would choose him all over again if I had to do it again, for those of you looking, look no further, he’s the man!

Hey... If you’re looking for rhinoplasty, May I suggest Dr. Warner. I didn’t expect to be this happy. This guy is just good at what he does. My healing process wasn’t as long as others. If I wasn’t moving to TX. I would definitely have him do more work for me.
