How Visible Are the Incision Scars After Having Male Breast Reduction Surgery?

Your incisions will go through a maturation #process following #Gynecomastia #surgery. For the first few months they will be red and possibly raised and/or firm. As the scar matures, after 6-12 months, it becomes soft, pale, flat, and much less noticeable. You may experience numbness, tingling, burning, “crawling”, or other peculiar sensations around the surgical area. This is a result of the #healing of tiny fibers which are trapped in the incision site. These symptoms will disappear. Some people are prone to keloids, which is an abnormal scar that becomes prominent. If you or a blood relative has a tendency to keloid formation, please inform the doctor.Bruising and #swelling are normal and usually increase slightly after the removal of any tape or foam. The bruising will decrease over 3-4 weeks, but may last as long as 6 weeks. The majority of the swelling will be gone within the first 3-4 weeks. However, it may take 6-9 weeks to disappear completely. Also, as you heal, the area may feel “lumpy” and irregular. This, too, decreases with time, and massaging these areas will help soften the scar tissue. The #compression garment helps reduce the swelling, and the longer it is worn, the more quickly you will #heal. It can also assist in the retraction of the skin. If you have any concerns about #healing, its best to ask questions of your surgeon or their nursing staff.In the future, if you are concerned with scars, with your surgeon's approval you may be able to use scar management treatments such as Biocornuem,  Scar Guard, Scar Fade,  IPL L

Man Boobs (aka Gynecomastia) affects up to 65% of men! I guess it’s one of those things we don’t talk about but there’s some really easy options to get this taken care of permanently. 
There are typically two types of surgically correctable gynecomastia. The first, is the result of excess fat accumulation in the chest. The second, is more excess breast glandular tissue and less of a fatty component. Oftentimes, it’s a combination of these two and there are some really great options to manage these.
The scars in all the options are minimal! They are usually hidden around the areola or away from the nipple as a small 2-3mm scar called a Pull Through Technique.
If it’s mainly fat, we have a couple options the first is wide awake flash recovery liposuction which is very well tolerated, doesn’t require going to sleep (but you can if you want to) and the second is a non invasive option like CoolSculpting or CryoLipolysis which is freezing the fat cells.These are both great options for patients which primarily fatty gynecomastia or pseudogynecomastia. 
The other group of patients we typically see, which is the majority, will have some fat but also a rubbery, more firm glandular component which tends to be centralized under the nipple area. For these patients, I like to use the Pull Through Technique along with liposuction. This involves a tiny incision away from the breast, concealed in an area of natural shadow, and through that incision we first liposuction all the fatty tissue and then use that same incision to remove the rubbery glandular tissue from behind the nipple. The scars are imperceptible and heals great. 
Both of these options lead to a masculine and flat chest surface that won't show through sweaters or shirts which is usually the main complaint I hear from patients with gynecomastia.

Men's breast enlargement is a combination of excess fat and glandular breast tissue that is typically centered right under the nipple. The choice of incision and technique is based on the amount of fat and the size of the gland to be removed. It can sometimes be referred to as Gynecomastia.   Male breasts that are predominately fat can be treated with tiny inconspicuous incisions large enough to admit a thin Liposuction cannula. With firm glandular breasts a semi circular incision around the bottom half of the areola is usually required. In very large breasts requiring skin reduction the incision may go completely around the areola. Most incisions hidden in the areola margins heal quite well and give satisfactory normal appearing results.Good Luck on your research
