    Male Breast Reduction

    Breast Enlargement

    (Augmentation Mammaplasty)

    Procedure

    Enhance the size of breasts using inflatable implants filled with saline. https://idealimplant.com

    Length

    1 to 2 hours.

    Anesthesia

    Local with sedation, or general.

    In/Outpatient

    Usually outpatient.

    Side Effects

    Temporary soreness, swelling, change in nipple sensation, bruising. Breast sensitive to stimulation for a few weeks.

    Risks

    Lack of implant permanence-surgical removal or replacement of the implants may be required to treat problems, including: deflation; the formation of scar tissue around the implant (capsular contracture), which may cause the breast to feel tight or hard; bleeding or infection. Increase or decrease in sensitivity of nipples or breast skin, occasionally permanent. Mammagraphy requires a special technique. (Note: Some women have reported symptoms similar to those of immune disorders. Ask your doctor about these and other FDA concerns.)

    Recovery

    Back to work: a few days. Physical contact with breasts: 3 to 4 weeks. Fading of scars: several months to a year or more.

    Duration of Results

    Variable. Implants may require removal or replacement.

    Breast Lift

    (Mastopexy)

    Procedure

    Raise and reshape sagging breasts by removing excess skin and repositioning remaining tissue and nipples.

    Length

    1 to 3 hours.

    Anesthesia

    Local with sedation, or general.

    In/Outpatient

    Usually outpatient. Sometimes inpatient.

    Side Effects

    Temporary bruising, swelling, discomfort, numbness, dry breast skin. Permanent scars.

    Risks

    Thick, wide scars; skin loss; infection. Unevenly positioned nipples. Permanent loss of feeling in nipples or breast.

    Recovery

    Back to work: 1 week or more. Strenuous activities: 1 month. Fading of scars: several months to a year.

    Duration of Results

    Variable; gravity, pregnancy, aging, and weight changes may cause new sagging. Results may last longer or be enhanced when breast implants are inserted as part of the procedure.

    Male Breast Reduction

    (Gynecomastia)

    Procedure

    Reduce enlarged, female-like breast in men using liposuction and/or cutting out excess glandular tissue. (Sometimes covered by medical insurance.)

    Length

    1 hour or more.

    Anesthesia

    General or local.

    In/Outpatient

    Usually outpatient.

    Side Effects

    Temporary bruising, swelling, numbness, soreness, burning sensation.

    Risks

    Infection. Fluid accumulation. Injury to the skin. Rippling or bagginess of skin. Asymmetry. Pigmentation changes (may become permanent if exposed to sun). Excessive scarring if tissue was cut away. Need for second procedure to remove additional tissue.

    Recovery

    Back to work: 3 to 7 days. More strenuous activity: 2 to 3 weeks. Swelling and bruising: 3 to 6 months.

    Duration of Results

    Permanent
