What Is
Dr. Schlesinger uses many of the same tools and techniques for revision male breast reduction as for a primary procedure. In many cases, performing additional liposuction to fully remove fat and/or glandular tissue and sculpt the chest can achieve the desired result. Sometimes, additional tissue excision is needed as well. Dr. Schlesinger will discuss his recommended approach during your consultation.
Recovery after a gynecomastia revision is typically very similar to male breast reduction as well. Patients can typically return to work within one week (one to two weeks for more strenuous jobs), and can resume exercise after two to three weeks.
When choosing a plastic surgeon to perform your male breast reduction, one should always choose a Board Certified plastic surgeon that has the privilege to do male breast reductions at a local hospital. Cosmetic surgeries, including male breast reductions, are usually done in surgicenters, and not in hospitals. S. Larry Schlesinger, MD, FACS is a Board-Certified plastic surgeon with cosmetic surgery privileges at Queen’s Hospital, but he performs most surgeries at his new surgicenter at Hale Pawaa. Dr. Schlesinger is a graduate of the Medical College of Virginia and has received awards in the form of Hawaii Medical Association Physician of the Year, American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, and even received the Patients’ Choice and Compassionate Doctor certifications.
