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.

Dr. Mark Sisco is truly a master of his trade. I never expected my breasts to look so great. To say I was scared was an understatement, I had never had any type of surgery. I interviewed numerous surgeons, my friends interviewed surgeons for me, no one had the credentials that Dr. Sisco has. Dr. Sisco and his team prepared me thoroughly for every aspect of my breast cancer surgery. Their attention and his attention to every detail was impressive. For me, with my level of fear, the best part of the surgery was the moment he came to see me before he operated. I felt an instant sense of calm, I knew I was in the right hands. I knew the best that could be done for me was being done. Dr. Sisco is an artist and a good, good man.

I went to Dr Sisco for a revised breast lift after very disappointing results from Dr Kotis who performed the wrong lift yet charged the same. I can not be happier! I finally have the right lift!! Dr Sisco was caring, he understood my needs, attentively listened and clearly communicated what the expectations should be and thereby the results. His work was meticulous vs sloppy and bedside manners were professional and attentive vs dismissive and rushed.

This is listed under my husband's name, but I had a fabulous experience with Dr. Sisco. He couldn't have been nicer through every stage of my experience, and is an absolutely fabulous surgeon. I couldn't be happier with the results from my procedure. I highly recommend him and his staff. Do not hesitate to use him if you need breast surgery.
Allan Sutow
Mark Sisco is an incredibly talented artist / surgeon and a really kind, warm, caring person. I cannot say enough positive words about my experience with him. He provided me with what I consider the "silver lining" of a potentially horrible situation.

Dr. Sisco did an amazing job with my reduction! I finally feel like I fit into my body. He takes the time to listen to you and gives you his honest opinions. I thought I might need a lift and he said that would not be necessary. Great bedside manner and surgeon. I also appreciate that he is on time with his appointments.

Dr Sisco and staff were amazingly supportive! Dr. Sisco is a magician. 2010 I had a double mastectomy. I was so happy the cancer was was gone I just dealt with the my new breast. They were very hard, lopsided and headlights went in opposite directions. But I was alive. I decided to look into reconstruction after 10 years. 2 plastics surgeons said they would not take me one. 2 plastics told me it would be 3 surgeries and over a year long process. I meet Dr. Sisco. I immediately like his supportive easy going manor. He said he could probably do it in 1 surgery. Maybe 2. I was able to get on his schedule quickly. I had the surgery May 29th at Evanston hospital. Dr. Sisco’s team was top notch! I was home same day. 3 months later I feel like myself again. I am not sure why I waited so long. I am so happy with the results. I did not need a 2nd surgery. I am so proud of this girls. They remind me of the originals. My husband cannot stop staring at them. I would highly recommend Dr. Sisco!!
