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.

I was referred to Dr Sisco after the birth of my 13th child. I dealt with years of near constant backaches due to having developed a separated abdominal wall. I am SO glad that I found a competent plastic surgeon and I could not be happier with my results! I highly recommend Dr Sisco.

I've had nothing but a positive experience with Dr. Sisco and his staff. I required four surgeries for a double mastectomy with reconstruction. Dr. Sisco held my hand through the entire process, as well as, handling some insurance issues I faced due to our chosen treatment plan. He's an exceptional surgeon and has a wonderful bedside manner. I cannot recommend him enough.
Charlotte Wager-Sharpe
I had double mastectomy 3 years ago. The reconstructive surgery was completed after my chemotherapy was completed. Dr. Sisco did an outstanding job. I am so happy with the results. I look and feel good. His staff was supportive and took good care of me. The reconstruction of the nipple was painless and looks great. I would recommend Dr. Sisco to anyone.
Cynthia Madlock
I found Dr Sisco to be a very skilled surgeon in breast reconstruction. Mine was a bit more difficult as I had a reconstruction of the left breast after radical mastectomy, a nipple tattoo and a lift of the right breast to create semitry. I found Dr Sisco and his staff very professional and extremely kind!! He has very impressive credentials and I would highly recommend him ! Sincerely, Marlene Gaggiano

My experience with Dr. Sisco and his staff was nothing but wonderful. From my first appointment, I felt comfortable and in good hands. I am so grateful to have gone to Dr. Sisco, as he has given me confidence in my appearance. I couldn't have asked for a better result, and I am thankful everyday for what he has done for me!

Dr. Sisco is very professional and easy to talk to, and did a fantastic job with my breast reduction surgery. I'd highly recommend him.
Erin Cummisford
I had breast reduction surgery and am very thrilled with the results and with Dr. Sisco and his office. I was referred to Dr. Sisco by my primary care. I did take a minute to go online and see his profile on his website. The before and after photos impressed me. Knowing what the "after" would look like was important to me. Dr. Sisco is very easy to talk with and was patient with any questions or concerns I had. His office staff is very pleasant and were thorough making sure I was prepared for surgery. My decision to have surgery wasn't overnight, and I have no regrets. I am thankful to have a wonderful doctor, and his "team", who supported me through the process.
Suzanne Singson
Dr. Sisco has been an integral part of my breast cancer journey and return to “normalcy.” Over the past year, from diagnosis through various reconstruction surgeries, he has been a stellar support, an absolute professional, and an innately talented surgeon. His work and bedside demeanor have been stellar, and he has left me looking (and feeling) far better than I could have expected. He is a perfectionist – something you absolutely want and need in a plastic surgeon. I am thankful to him and his team for their compassion, skill, and impeccable service. I give my highest recommendation for Dr. Sisco and staff.

I was diagnosed with chondrosarcoma in my mandubrium in Jan. 2017. My thoracic surgeon referred me to Dr. Sisco for the reconstructive part of my 12 hour surgery. From my first consult to follow up, Dr. Sisco and his staff have been the most professional, compassionate and dedicated individuals I've had the pleasure of working with when it comes to healthcare. I've worked in healthcare, and I know it can be a thankless job and it can wear you down. Dr. Sisco and his staff were always positive, pleasant and so upbeat about my recovery. I spent 8 days in the hospital, and I can say at least twice a day, either Dr. Sisco or one of his staff would stop in my room to check in on me and my progress. Anyone who has been diagnosed with cancer or has fought the battle alongside a loved one, knows how devastating it is to hear that diagnosis for the first time. And then to have to go through consultation after consultation with a team of doctors is overwhelming, especially when you feel like you can't catch your breath. Dr. Sisco and staff made my diagnosis less scary. He explained step by step what he was going to do. He did not rush through the explanation. He gave me time to digest what was said and answered every question with patience and compassion. I also appreciate that Dr. Sisco has allowed me to decide when I would like to follow up with after care. I will need some minor surgery to fine tune the area in which bone, tissue and skin were replaced on my chest. He understood that I was not up for any surgery so soon after major surgery. I appreciate that I was not pressured to schedule that right away, and that I was given the choice of the timetable in which to return; when I felt comfortable. I can not thank Dr. Sisco and staff enough for the peace of mind they have given me throughout this diagnosis and treatment. I highly recommend Dr. Sisco and his staff! -A. Hauer
