Recovery after male breast reduction surgery is typically quick and straightforward. Most patients can return to work and normal daily activities within 5 to 7 days. Light physical activity and walking are encouraged after the first week.

For best results, patients are advised to wear the compression vest for up to 3 months as per the surgeon’s guidance. This is a crucial step to ensure scarless healing and a well-defined chest shape.
