Possible Complications with Male Breast Reduction (Gynecomastia)
 The scars in Male Breast Reduction procedures are placed in natural skin demarcation lines around the areola, down the breast, and across the bottom of the breast. In most men, the scars from the incisions will be pink for about six months and gradually fade thereafter. The scars are rarely troublesome. Nevertheless, you should know that all scars are permanent and their height, width and final color are not totally predictable.
As with any surgical procedure, small nerves to the skin are interrupted during surgery. Portions of the nipple area may feel numb or have less than full feeling. Sensitivity returns over several weeks, but some diminished feeling may last indefinitely.
If you sunbathe, or utilize a tanning bed, you must not do so until any numbness of the chest is gone (to avoid burning). After this point, you must protect the incision site with a sunscreen of SPF 15 or more for at least six months.
No procedure is without risks; however, the majority of complications known to be associated with Male Breast Reduction are minor when an experienced surgeon performs the procedure. As with any procedure, bleeding, infection, delayed healing, excessive scarring and other problems can occur. Nonetheless, it is important to enter into your procedure aware not only of the benefits, but also of the possible complications. Talk to your surgeon about every question and concern you may have.
