Skin Tightening After Male Breast Reduction

This usually depends on the overall quality of the elastic tone in the chest/breast skin before anything is done.  If the skin is extremely loose, droopy and inelastic, actual skin removal might be necessary.  More often, however, the use of ultrasonic liposuction alone will tend to encourage reasonable skin retraction and tightening once the fibrous fat has been removed.

Thank you for the question.

The end results of gynecomastia surgery are usually seen several months ( and even up to one year) after the procedure is performed. This is especially true if liposuctioning is performed as part of the procedure. Although many patients noted an improvement in the contour of the chest shortly after surgery, it generally takes one to 2 months for swelling to resolve completely and longer for skin redraping and scar maturation to occur.

The degree of skin tightening will depend on factors such as the quality of skin elasticity, patient's age, genetics, and the amount of underlying tissue that was removed during the procedure. These  factors vary from one patient to another.

 Your plastic surgeon will be in the best position to advise you  more precisely.
