What will my surgery entail?

Depending on the significance of your condition and the results you’d like to achieve, Dr. Kim may perform simple liposuction of the fat on your chest, or she may need to excise breast and glandular tissue with or without removing skin.

In either case, she uses small, carefully placed incisions that eventually fade to discreet scars. Often, these incisions are made around the edge of your areola, ensuring that the resulting scars are barely noticeable in the color border.

During your consultation with Dr. Kim, she walks you through each step of her surgical plan, ensuring you know exactly what to expect from your results and your recovery.

How long is the recovery from male breast reduction surgery?

While experiences vary, male breast reduction patients typically return to work within 1 week. However, it’s important to take several additional weeks away from strenuous activity, especially that which uses your upper body.

Gynecomastia FAQ's

How long does male breast reduction surgery take?

The surgery will take about two to three hours. If only liposuction is required, the procedure time may be shorter. Every surgery for male breast reduction is a customized procedure, and some are longer due to the need to reduce nipple size or move structure to create a fit, firm, masculine chest.

If I gain weight, will the problem return?

If your condition was the result of an excess of glandular tissue, no. If it was related to fat, some of it may return, but the fat that was removed in your procedure cannot return.
