Gynecomastia is a common condition where men experience the enlargement of breast tissue due to hormonal imbalances, resulting in excess fat or glandular tissue. This condition can cause physical discomfort and emotional stress, making many men feel self-conscious about their appearance.
If you are a man struggling with enlarged breasts and it’s affecting your confidence or comfort, gynecomastia surgery may be the solution. Ideal candidates are healthy, of stable weight, and have tried non-surgical alternatives without success. Whether the issue is caused by excess fat, glandular tissue, or a combination of both, this procedure can help achieve a flatter, more masculine chest.
Gynecomastia surgery, also known as male breast reduction, is typically performed using one or a combination of two techniques:
Liposuction: This is ideal for cases where the enlargement is primarily due to excess fatty tissue.
Tissue Excision: In cases where glandular tissue or excess skin needs to be removed, tissue excision is used. This method is also applied if the areola needs reshaping or repositioning.
Most procedures are completed in 1-3 hours under general anaesthesia, and the process will be tailored to your specific needs
Recovery is straightforward. You will need to wear a compression garment to reduce swelling and support healing for a few weeks. Initial bruising and swelling are normal, but you can return to daily activities within 1-2 weeks, although strenuous physical activity should be avoided for 4-6 weeks and full results visible after a few months as the swelling subsides. Most patients experience a more defined chest and a significant boost in confidence post-surgery.
Absolutely! Liposuction is often combined with gynecomastia surgery, especially when excess fat contributes to the enlarged chest. By combining these techniques, we can achieve a more sculpted and natural-looking chest contour.
Gynecomastia surgery significantly improves a patient’s physical appearance, helping them regain self-confidence and relieve the psychological burden of living with enlarged breasts. The surgery also addresses physical discomfort associated with gynecomastia, such as pain or chafing caused by enlarged tissue.
This surgery offers more than just aesthetic benefits. It helps relieve physical discomfort and enhances your quality of life. By restoring a more masculine appearance to your chest, you can enjoy greater comfort, confidence, and freedom in your everyday life.
