Does getting male breast reduction at an older age (age 60) diminish probability of getting a good result?

Balooga
I am a 59 year old male, considering having some glandular tissue and fat removed from one breast. I’ve had the glandular density on one side only since my teens, but now it seems to be sagging more and looking more noticeable, although I’m still the same body I had in my 20s. Both gland and fat volume is, at most, the size of 2 golf balls. Can I still expect to get a smooth result after removing that volume at my age? Will wearing a compression garment for a longer period help?
