Using Dr. Ditesheim’s scarless technique, there is no scar on the chest, minimal to no bruising or swelling and a return to work or school the next day. Exercise can be resumed within the week. If a minimal scar is needed around the edge of the nipple to remove firmer breast tissue, the recovery can still be as quick. Even with a tailoring of excess skin, there is a quick recovery from gynecomastia surgery with minimal bruising and swelling with the ability to resume activities within 4-5 days.
For most men, the scar can be hidden completely. Using AquaShape liposuction, it is now possible to correct male breasts without a visible scar on the chest. A small skin slit is made in the armpit and a tube is inserted under the skin to remove the breast tissue. If there is firmer breast tissue, then a small scar is made at the edge of the nipple. When the nipple skin shrinks, the scar heals almost invisibly.
