What is Recovery from Male Breast Reduction Surgery?
It is advised that you rest for the remainder of the day following your surgery, and limit your physical activity for a couple of days. For the first two weeks following your surgery, you will wear a special compression garment. Some men experience a mild degree of swelling, bruising and tenderness which should subside in a short time. In most cases discomfort associated with the surgery can be controlled with Tylenol alone. You may return to work in about 3 days while avoiding strenuous physical activities for two weeks. Following your breast reduction surgery, you will enjoy a new, more pleasing shape. Many of our patients say their surgery enhanced their self-confidence.
