Gynecomastia surgery, also known as male breast reduction, is a procedure used to reduce excess breast tissue in men. Gynecomastia can develop due to hormonal changes, weight gain, certain medications, or other underlying factors. The procedure may involve the removal of excess glandular tissue, fat, or both, with the aim of creating a flatter chest contour. Techniques can vary depending on the amount and type of tissue present, and may include liposuction or minor surgical excision. Recovery times and results vary between individuals, with swelling gradually improving over the weeks following treatment. More extensive gynecomastia surgery may require treatment within a specialist surgical setting rather than a minor operations clinic.
Gynecomastia surgery, also known as male breast reduction, can involve different techniques depending on the amount of fatty tissue, glandular tissue, and skin excess present. The most appropriate approach is usually determined following a clinical assessment and discussion of the patient’s goals.

 

Liposuction

Liposuction may be suitable for individuals whose chest enlargement is primarily caused by excess fatty tissue. Small incisions are used to remove fat and improve chest contour with minimal scarring.

 

Excision

Excision techniques are often used when there is a larger amount of glandular tissue or excess skin. This approach involves surgically removing tissue through carefully placed incisions around the chest area.

 

Combination Approach

In some cases, a combination of liposuction and excision may be used to address both excess fat and glandular tissue and achieve a more balanced chest contour.

 

Treatment Considerations

The choice of technique depends on the individual’s anatomy, skin quality, and the extent of gynecomastia. Recovery, scarring, and outcomes can vary between patients, and a consultation with a qualified surgeon is important to discuss suitability and expected results.

 

More extensive gynecomastia procedures may be carried out in a specialist surgical or hospital setting rather than a minor operations clinic.
