The Surgery

The surgical procedure for male breast reduction surgery involves the surgical removal of excess tissue by direct excision or with liposuction. Where fatty tissue is the primary source of over-development, liposuction techniques remove fat to recontour the chest. Incisions hidden at the areola (dark pigmented area surrounding the nipple), breast crease or in the underarm allow for removal of excess glandular tissue and recontouring. The procedures can include areola reduction. Liposuction can be performed as well to recontour other adjacent areas.

This procedure is generally performed as an outpatient procedure in our AAAASF Certified Surgery Center. Dr. Bounds and his Anesthesiologist along with the surgical team have your safety in mind. After surgery in the Operating Suite you will awake in the Recovery room attended by a Registered Nurse. Once you are fully awake you may go home with an adult family member or a trusted friend.

The initial swelling dissipates in two to four weeks. Finals results appear in two to four months. Continued fading of incision lines continues for one year.
