Gynecomastia Treatment
Reduce enlarged male breast tissue for a flatter chest
Gynecomastia — enlarged breast tissue in men — is more common than many realise and can cause significant self-consciousness. Surgical correction removes glandular tissue and, where needed, excess fat and skin to restore a flat, masculine chest contour.
Depending on the degree of enlargement, treatment may involve liposuction alone, direct glandular excision through a small peri-areolar incision, or a combination of both. The choice is guided by whether the enlargement is primarily fatty, glandular or a mix of the two.
Key Benefits
- Flat, masculine chest contour restored
- Scarring limited to small, well-concealed incisions
- Permanent removal of glandular tissue
- Significant improvement in confidence and clothing fit
Is This Treatment Right For You?
- Men with persistent breast enlargement not resolved by weight loss
- Patients who have ruled out hormonal or medication-related causes
- Those at a stable weight with good skin elasticity
- Adults self-conscious about chest appearance in clothing or shirtless
What to Expect
Hormonal Evaluation
Blood tests confirm the enlargement is not due to a correctable underlying cause.
Classification
The ratio of fat to glandular tissue determines the best surgical approach.
Surgery
Liposuction, excision or combination technique performed under local or general anaesthesia.
Compression Recovery
Compression vest worn for several weeks to minimise swelling and support contour.
Recovery & Aftercare
Most patients return to office work within 5–7 days. Compression is worn for 4–6 weeks. Exercise resumes at around 4 weeks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will it come back?
Surgically removed glandular tissue does not regrow, provided the underlying hormonal cause (if any) is addressed.
How visible is the scar?
Incisions are typically hidden along the edge of the areola, making scars very difficult to detect once healed.
Is this the same as just having liposuction?
Liposuction removes fat but not glandular tissue — true gynecomastia requires excision of the gland for a flat result.
