Is there anything I can do to best prepare for the procedure of Male Breast Reduction?

Yes. For best results, you might consider the following: ● Exercise – Developing strength through exercise will help in recovery. ● Avoid sickness – It’s always best to avoid a cold or virus going into any surgery. ● No smoking – Avoid any smoking completely for at least 4 weeks before surgery and after surgery, to avoid lessened blood flow. ● Avoid certain supplements – Avoid over the counter items such as aspirin, garlic, green tea, vitamin E, anti-inflammatories, estrogen, and herbal medicines for about 2 weeks prior to surgery, because they can all lead to excessive bleeding. ● Scented items – Avoid all scented soaps and creams, deodorant, cologne, or hair spray on the day of the surgery. Use antibacterial soap instead. ● Food and drink – You will be instructed to avoid food and drink after a certain time the day before the surgery, to prevent interference with the sedation process.
