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

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

In the vast majority of cases a peri areolar incision is
used when treating gynecomastia. This incision is made around the inferior
border of the areola and is extended slightly to each side. It’s hidden nicely
at the border of the areola with the surrounding tissue. As the scar fades,
it’s even less apparent.

                  In
contrast, breast reduction in women is much more complicated with much longer
incisions. This procedure not only reduces the size of the breast, but also
lifts the breast into normal position. The procedure results in a
circumferential incision around the areola, a transverse incision in the
infra-mammary fold and a vertical incision that connects the two.

                  Male
breast reduction is less complicated then female breast reduction. There’s less
scarring, fewer complications, shorter recoveries and shorter operative times.
It’s important to note that both procedures have high satisfaction rates.
