View Photo Gallery Schedule a consultationCandidates for scarless male breast reduction are men with excess fat, glandular tissue or skin in their chest area. Patients should be in good overall health with no significant medical issues. During your consultation with Dr. Ching, he will determine if you are a candidate for the procedure and discuss the treatment process, as well as what you can expect from the outcome.
Dr. Ching is skilled and experienced in a number of techniques used to improve the shape of the male chest. Liposuction alone can be used in some cases. If there is glandular tissue, this needs to be surgically removed. In more advanced cases, he may need to surgically remove excess skin and breast tissue. The procedure typically takes between one and two hours.
During the surgery, fat is suctioned through small (3 millimeter) incisions that are almost invisible when healed. Dr. Ching places incisions within the areola area to leave little to no scarring when healed. Other surgeons typically place incisions beside the areola resulting in white semicircle scar lines. During your consultation, Dr. Ching reviews each patient’s health history and recommends the most appropriate procedure technique.

For patients who only require liposuction, you may be back at work after one week. Those requiring excess skin removal may have a longer recovery period. After the surgery, strenuous activity should be avoided for few weeks, or until you have the approval of Dr. Ching. It is important to plan your recovery before your surgical procedure.
Because the incisions will be placed in well-concealed areas, the scars should heal well and remain inconspicuous. During recovery, you may experience some bruising and swelling in the chest. Your results from your male breast reduction are meant to be long-lasting. In order to ensure that these results last, it is important to follow all of Dr. Ching’s post-operative instructions. You should also maintain a healthy diet and exercise routine following the procedure.
