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. Mark Sisco by a friend who had gone through a similar diagnosis months before me—she was extremely pleased with the provided healthcare and her results. I now have referred Dr. Sisco to others and will continue to do so enthusiastically. He is an exceptional doctor (literally called by nurses as “an artiste”), with a caring, calm demeanor and a wonderful staff to round out the experience. When my world came crashing down, I knew, at least, I didn’t have this to worry about. You are in excellent care with Dr. Mark Sisco, and for those of you reading this, I wish you the very best in your health journey.

Dr. Sisco was incredible to work with! He is the perfect mix of meticulous surgeon and fantastic bedside manner. He and his team made my journey much less scary.

Thank you Dr. Sisco, I am so grateful for your outstanding practice!

I am so grateful to have found Dr. Sisco and to have had him as my plastic surgeon. As a woman with a gene mutation that placed me at a 70% risk of developing breast cancer I decided to pursue a risk reducing double mastectomy with breast reconstruction. Dr. Sisco, besides his incredible skill and knowledge, has a wonderful bedside manner. He treats patients with the utmost respect, kindness and compassion. He is patient and thorough, unbiased and honest. Throughout the process of my surgeries and the entire process of reconstruction he and his staff could not have been better. He and his clinical and front desk staff never make you feel rushed, they respond very quickly to any questions or concerns. He is very honest and makes sure that patients, whether for reconstructive or elective procedures, have realistic expectations. He is truly a gifted surgeon and an artist. I am very happy with my results. Whether you are considering reconstruction or an elective procedure, I can not recommend Dr. Sisco more highly!

Taylor Saputo
Dr. Sisco and his team are compassionate and it’s clear they care deeply about their patients. Not only do they take the time to understand each patient’s personal needs and health background, but they also strive for outstanding results. Making the choice for a prophylactic mastectomy and DIEP reconstruction was made much easier, in part, because of Dr. Sisco and his team of consummate and caring professionals. I’m so grateful and extremely pleased with my results.

Dr. Sisco is an excellent and caring surgeon. He is honest about the results he can deliver and manages expectations well. When I experienced discomfort during recovery, he and his team were responsive to all my concerns. I recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy surgeon.
Kathryn Primas
When diagnosed with breast cancer, I met with Dr. Sisco to discuss my options for reconstruction. He made me feel comfortable, informed and seen as a patient. He also performed surgery with my gynecological oncologist on my pelvic region following a tumor de-bulking surgery. He is caring, smart, funny, and most importantly the results from both major surgeries left me feeling better about my body. He has my highest regards not just in surgeon but for his bedside manner. I must also mention the incredible team he works with (Gia, Keya, Sophia, etc,). Everyone is helpful and kind. Many visits to the office were during uncertain times and they go out of their way to make the patients feel comfortable.
