When male breast-reduction surgery is performed by a qualified Toronto gynecomastia treatment specialist, such as Dr. Lista, complications are infrequent and usually minor. Nevertheless, as with any surgery, there are risks.

These include infection, skin injury, excessive bleeding, adverse reaction to anesthesia, and excessive fluid loss or accumulation. The procedure may also result in noticeable scars, permanent pigment changes in the breast area, loss of breast sensation or numbness, or slightly mismatched breasts or nipples. If asymmetry is significant, a second procedure may be performed to remove additional tissue.
