Frequently Asked Questions
Smoking before or after surgery increases the visibility of scarring and causes problems with healing. Therefore, we require that all patients cease the use of nicotine products (including cigarettes, e-cigarettes, chewing tobacco, and all other products containing nicotine) at least four weeks before and four weeks after your breast reduction.
Male breast reduction is typically performed as an outpatient surgery. If an overnight stay at the outpatient facility is required, Dr. Turkle will alert you prior to surgery to ensure you have the proper care arranged for your recovery.
Many patients ask us this question to help themselves decide the time of year they would like to have a breast reduction. That’s because you are restricted from doing certain activities after your surgery. However, we will review your full instructions for post-care during your initial consultation. Our priority is to help you heal quickly and minimize your downtime.
In general, you can expect to be able to submerge in water within three to four weeks after your surgery or after your wounds are totally healed. Regarding exercise, you will be able to walk immediately after your release but you should wait about two weeks before restarting any cardio or lower-body exercises. Restrictions will include no lifting, pushing or pulling anything greater than 10 pounds for six weeks after surgery.
We will discuss any additional specific restrictions and help you determine how long to take off work and other duties at your consultation.
Depending on your pain tolerance and the type of work you do, you may be back at work anywhere between five and seven days after your male breast reduction. However, some patients are able to return to work sooner! It simply depends on your individual healing process and how closely you follow our post-care instructions.
Incision patterns for male breast reductions can vary depending on the amount of skin tissue removed to achieve your goals. Dr. Turkle will explain the incisions she recommends for you during your initial consultation.
