The Gynecomastia Surgical Process Explained
To help you make decisions, the first step in the gynecomastia surgical process is a personal, private consultation. Dr. Jacobs will share insights gained from more than 35 years of focus on male breast reduction. He’ll examine you, talk you through his strategy for your individual case, and give you a sense of the results you can anticipate. Then, the decisions are yours.
If you choose to move forward with male gynecomastia surgery, your procedure should take just an hour or two in Dr. Jacobs’ fully accredited operating suite. Most patients can have IV sedation, also called “twilight sedation,” which ensures gentle, complete sleep with no hangover. Depending on your case, Dr. Jacobs will make a tiny nick at the side of your chest and/or a small incision at the edge of your nipples. Occasionally larger incisions are called for, which you will hear about in your consultation.
Candidates for Gynecomastia Surgery
Many types of patients at nearly all stages of life can be candidates for male breast reduction surgery:
- Men in good health with sensible expectations
- Teens whose case has been stable for two years
- Older men who may want to combine treatments
- Guys who are ready to follow Dr. Jacobs’ plan
Recovery From Gynecomastia Surgery
Recovery after male breast reduction is often easier than patients expect. Most characterize the discomfort as a bruised feeling or a burning sensation in the chest that lasts for two to three days. You’ll be prescribed pain medication in case you want to take it for a short time; some guys get by with just Tylenol. Dr. Jacobs’ patients are usually ready to return to office work within three days to a week.
You’ll wear a compression garment to speed healing for about four weeks. At that point, you should be able to resume more strenuous exercise. You should feel good about your results in several days to a few weeks, but know that all traces of swelling may take three to six months to disappear.
