Male Breast Reduction Baltimore

Male breast reduction surgery is a great solution for men who feel self-conscious about their appearance. The reduction procedure removes fat and or glandular tissue from the chest area, resulting in a flatter, more masculine chest.

Procedure Description:

Your plastic surgeon will use liposuction and/or excision to remove the excess glandular tissue.

A male breast reduction can take from one to three hours, depending on the complexity of the procedure. This surgery is done on an outpatient basis with general anesthesia. Because safety is our first concern, we always work with board-certified anesthesiologists to ensure that your surgery is as safe as possible. Following your surgery, you will be able to rest in the comfort of your own home.

Recovery & Aftercare:

• Patients may experience some degree of bruising, swelling and tenderness.
• Bed rest the day of surgery.
• Limited activity for the next two days following surgery.
• Avoid strenuous activities for about two to three weeks.
• Return to work in about one week.

Insurance Guidelines:

Our office will work with your insurance company to determine the scope of your benefits. Male breast reduction is usually deemed cosmetic. 

Additional Procedures:

Liposuction may be used in conjunction with surgery to remove excess fat around the breast and enhance the overall contour of the new breasts. Please discuss this option with Baltimore cosmetic surgeons Drs. Cohen and Lickstein.

**NOTE: The specific risks and the suitability of this procedure for any given individual can only be determined through a consultation with the plastic surgeon.
