Christopher L. Hess, MD answers: Lipo for male breast reduction - How long until results are noticeable?

I am a 37-year-old male that had Smart Lipo with tumescent liposuction done on my abdomen and breasts 23 days ago. I immediately have noticed a difference in my abdomen but I am worried that my breasts are not going to be flat enough. Is it still too early for me to judge my results? Does it take the breast longer to go down than the immediate results I see in my stomach? My Doctor told me that I did not have much granular breast tissue.

Although I am not currently a proponent of this type of liposuction, with appropriately done liposuction you would see some results immediately.  Liposuction will remove the fat in the breasts.  If your doctor told you that you didn't have much glandular tissue you should see results immediately.  However, final results of liposuction take a few months.  Be patient.
