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.

Cheryl Nester-Detweiler
My experience with Dr. Sisco was fantastic. In the most difficult time in my life he was so understanding, took his time to discuss all of my questions and options, and truly helped me come up with the best option for me in my breast cancer reconstruction journey. He took the extra time to really get to know me and my medical history/background, which was a huge comfort and displayed his investment in his patients. I cannot say enough of both his character and his work. He has helped me to feel better in my body and regain my confidence after a life-changing event. The staff at his practice are amazing as well!

Katrina Greenwood
Thoroughly kind care by entire team from initial visit through post-op. Dr. Sisco is very approachable and easy to consult with. Highly recommended!
Derek Gau
I cannot recommend Dr. Sisco more highly. I had sought a breast reduction as a younger woman, and had a terrible consult with another doctor that had set me off the path for a decade. Dr. Sisco was the remedy for my sour experience from the first consultation. He was informative, personable, and really listened to what I was looking for (e.g. I'd like to go as small as possible, I don't care about scars if it gets a better shape overall, I have a preexisting fibroadenoma I'd like removed if possible, etc). Communication before the surgery was perfect, the day of the procedure could not have gone smoother, and post-operative care was wonderful. Three months post-op, I could not be happier with the results. Dr. Sisco's bedside manner is direct, informative, open to questions, and with a touch of humor. 5 out of 5, hands down. Thank you to Dr. Sisco and the entire North Shore care team for their care.

Easy process and recovery

Dr. Sisco is an artist and in a class of his own. Since October 2020, I've been going through some rough times but Dr. Sisco made it easy on me. His experience showed when I had to have many surgeries and he put my mind at ease every time. He listened carefully to my needs, gave me his honest opinion and together made decisions on what was best for me. At the end, I'm happy with the results and would recommend him to anyone. His office staff, nurses and Sophie are amazing too. Any time I email them through Northshore connect, they reply the same day. Thank you Dr. Sisco and may God always Bless you!!
