Candidates
Men who are tired of hiding the condition and want relief through surgical intervention should meet some criteria before Dr. Kara will operate. If a medical evaluation indicates that lifestyle changes will not solve the problem, the patient should also be a nonsmoker at a stable body weight. Once Dr. Kara has observed that these criteria are met, he will be able to move forward with your male breast reduction in Vaughan, Toronto or Whitby. Evening and weekend consultation and surgery times available.

Your consultation
During your consultation, Dr. Kara will outline the specific procedures he will use when he performs your male breast reduction, but the surgery generally takes at least one hour. Depending on the amount of tissue to be removed, you will either be given a general anesthetic or a local anesthetic with sedation. To begin, Dr. Kara will make small incisions to remove the excess breast tissue. The incision will be made in your underarm or around the nipple. In some cases, Dr. Kara may also use liposuction to remove fat deposits on your chest. Once excess tissue and fat have been removed, Dr. Kara will be able to close the incisions with sutures and create a more masculine chest.

Surgery steps
Surgery: how to do male breast reduction
Medications are administered to make you comfortable during your surgery. These may include local or general anesthesia.
There are two techniques used to surgically treat gynecomastia: liposuction and excision. They can be done separately, although often both are done together. This will be discussed in consultation.
Recovery period
Following your male breast reduction in Toronto, Dr. Kara will give you aftercare instructions to follow that will ensure proper healing. He will instruct you to keep your chest wrapped in gauze and to avoid exercise for about three weeks. You can return to work after a week or so, at which point the sutures will be removed.
You may experience swelling, bruising and pain, for which Dr. Kara will prescribe medication. After about three months, you will be able to experience the final result of your surgery. Continued healthy diet and exercise will ensure the benefits are maintained.
