The term gynecomastia originates from the Greek word for “women-like breasts.”
Gynecomastia at the Maas Clinic™
Male breast reduction surgery is performed as an outpatient surgical procedure, and there are several different treatment options depending on your particular case. Typically it takes one to two hours. Some patients have reported numbness in areas treated, which can last anywhere from several months to a year. Moderate discomfort, bruising, and swelling for the first few days are common, and a compression garment must be worn for up between four and six weeks. Most patients typically go back to work in a week to ten days and return to normal activity within a month.
