The Male Breast Reduction Procedure

If you’re considering male breast reduction surgery, the process will begin with a consultation with Dr. Forman. You and the doctor will discuss the procedure, and he’ll answer any questions you may have. He’ll also want to know why you’re seeking the treatment and your specific aesthetic goals. If you choose to progress with the surgery, Dr. Forman will use all of this information to create your personalized treatment plan. Your male breast reduction in DC will be performed as an outpatient procedure at our on-site surgical center.

You’ll likely be administered general anesthesia, which will render you temporarily unconscious during the surgery. Once you’re under anesthesia, Dr. Forman will make incisions around the areolae or along the natural creases of the chest to minimize visible scarring. The length and shape of the incisions will depend on the amount of breast tissue that needs to be removed. Next, he will remove the excess tissue and fat using liposuction, excision, or a combination of both techniques.

In some cases, the procedure may also involve repositioning the nipples and areolae to achieve a more natural-looking result. This involves making small incisions and moving the nipples to a higher position on the chest. Once your preferred adjustments have been completed, Dr. Forman will close your incisions with sutures. After a few hours of monitoring, you’ll then be able to head home with someone else driving you.

What Is the Recovery Like?

It’s important to follow Dr. Forman’s instructions carefully when recovering from your gynecomastia surgery. Most patients require around two weeks of rest before getting back to work and resuming their normal routines. You should avoid any strenuous activity, including lifting heavy objects, for at least four to six weeks. You should also avoid any activities that may cause your heart rate to increase, such as exercise or sexual activity, for a couple of weeks.

You will experience some swelling and bruising after the procedure, which is normal. Applying cool packs to the affected area can help reduce the swelling. Additionally, you may need to wear a compression garment for several weeks. This garment will help reduce swelling and provide support to your chest.
