Book Consultation The Procedure
The surgeon will use various liposuction techniques to reduce the size of the breast and contour a masculine shape. This process can eliminate creases that form under the male breast due to sagging and size. In cases where there is an excessive amount of skin and fatty tissue a surgeon might perform tissue excision, this will leave more scarring than the liposuction technique.
Recovery & Aftercare
The recovery period varies for each patient with vigorous exercise being completely off limits within the first 3 to 4 weeks. To minimize swelling, a compression garment is worn post surgery. The total healing time can be anything from 7 weeks to 10 weeks.
Expected Results
Most patients see immediate improvement in chest contour, with final results becoming apparent as swelling subsides over 3-6 months.

What techniques are used for male breast reduction?
Treatment depends on tissue composition. Liposuction alone works for primarily fatty tissue. Glandular tissue may require surgical excision through a small periareolar incision. Many cases need a combination approach. Dr Maresky customizes the technique to your anatomy.

How long is recovery after male breast reduction?
Most patients return to desk work within 1 week and resume light exercise at 2-3 weeks. Compression garments are worn for 4-6 weeks. Avoid heavy lifting and strenuous chest exercises for 4-6 weeks. Final results are visible at 3-6 months.
Book a Consultation
Will there be visible scars after male breast reduction?
Scarring is minimal with liposuction (tiny 3-4mm incisions). If tissue excision is needed, incisions are placed around the areola border where they're well-concealed. Scars fade significantly within 6-12 months and are typically very discrete.
