Risks and Complications

When a qualified Toronto gynecomastia treatment specialist such as Dr. Lista or Dr. Ahmad performs male breast reduction surgery, complications are infrequent and usually minor. Nevertheless, as with any surgery, there are risks. These risks 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.
