What sort of recovery is there after male breast reduction surgery?
After male breast reduction, bandages or dressings may be applied to the breasts. In some cases, a small drainage tube may be applied to the incision site as well. Patients can expect some degree of swelling and bruising. The swelling may disguise the improvement at first but should fade within a few weeks. A compression garment may need to be worn for about one to two weeks after the surgery.
