Male Breast Reduction: The Consultation
An appointment with your surgeon is an opportunity to have an open and frank discussion about what improvements you would like to achieve. As with all surgery, your general health will also be assessed and the surgeon will recommend the best course of treatment together with any risks of complications.
What happens during Male Breast Reduction surgery?
Plastic surgery to correct “man boobs” is technically called reduction mammoplasty and reduces breast size, flattening and enhancing the shape of the chest. The procedures involves liposuction to remove excess fat and, depending on your requirements, any excess skin may also be removed.
How is the procedure carried out?
The procedure is normally carried out under General Anaesthetic and you will stay overnight before you return home.
Will there be scars?
The surgeon will seek to conceal any incision lines within natural contours, although some scarring may be visible and all scars are permanent. Scarring can take around a year to fade from red to white. However, the improvement in your profile “beneath clothes” will be practically immediate.
