Your Consultation
You’ll begin with a private consultation with Dr. Sisco. During this appointment, you work together to review your medical history, as well as any lifestyle factors that may contribute to the development of gynecomastia. Dr. Sisco examines your chest, explains the surgical process to you, and helps you determine if you’re a good candidate.
How Is Male Breast Reduction Performed?
Depending on the extent of your surgery, Dr. Sisco may place you under general anesthesia or simply use a local anesthetic with sedation. In some cases, he may use only liposuction to create the desired result. More advanced cases may require excision of the mammary gland. In either case, Dr. Sisco uses small incisions, which heal with discreet scars.
