Gland excision and liposuction

The Backstory
Soft, rounded tissue had blurred the natural shape of this patient’s chest for years. The lack of definition bothered him most from the front, where both sides blended together without any real separation. He was in decent shape otherwise, which made the chest stand out even more.
The Consultation
Dr. Reilly identified glandular tissue behind each nipple along with soft fatty deposits that were adding to the rounded appearance. The plan paired gland excision with liposuction to remove the tissue and bring out the chest’s natural structure.
Surgery Day
Both components were handled in one session. The gland was removed first, then liposuction smoothed and contoured the surrounding area. The total time was about an hour, and he went home the same day.
Recovery and Result
He was back to daily activity within a week. As swelling went down over the following weeks, the chest took on a completely different shape. The soft, undefined look is replaced with a wider, flatter profile and clear separation between each side.
Recovery for Danbury Patients
Healing time varies between Danbury patients depending on age, fitness baseline, and the demands of daily life. Your plan adjusts to fit those personal factors, with milestones spread along a realistic recovery timeline.
Return to Daily Work
Danbury patients work in a mix of fields, including corporate commuters into NYC or Stamford, and local professionals across the city. Most office-based jobs allow patients to return after roughly a week. Hands-on work or heavy lifting roles require a bit longer.
Candlewood Lake Season
Patients with summer plans at Candlewood Lake or hikes through Tarrywile Park typically book surgery between November and February. The healing window leaves the chest fully recovered and the compression vest off well before summer arrives.
Stages of Activity
You can take short walks within a few days of surgery. Steady cardio at moderate effort returns at the two-week point. Chest-focused training including bench press, pushups, and resistance machines waits until around four and six weeks.

Dr. Reilly’s Specialty Focus
Dr. John Reilly was appointed chief of plastic surgery at Griffin Hospital, an affiliate within the Yale-New Haven Health network. Our practice focuses on male breast reduction procedures, and he has spent more than 25 years refining the techniques.
