Procedures for Men


Breast Reduction
Reduction Mammaplasty

Breast reduction surgery alleviates health issues associated with large, pendulous breasts like back ache, headache.

Reduced breast size will also allow you to engage in physical activities that can improve your health and self-confidence. You will enjoy a more proportioned body and physique with smaller breasts.

Because very large breasts cause breathing difficulty, chronic back pain and injury, many insurance companies cover all or part of the surgical costs. Contact your insurance company if you believe you have coverage.

If you don’t have insurance or your insurance doesn’t cover the procedure, SurgeryLoans.com can help you get the financing you need for breast reduction.

Costs

Breast reduction is commonly performed under general anesthesia which means you will sleep through the procedure. The procedure usually takes 1 to 3 hours per breast and is commonly performed as an outpatient procedure, meaning you will be able to return home the same day.

Recovery

Recovery from breast reduction takes a few weeks. Most men can return to work or school in 1 week. A surgical bra needs to be worn for up to 6 weeks. Swelling and bruising will gradually subside. Strenuous work or exercise will need to be avoided for up to 3 weeks.
