Gynecomastia Surgery
Male chest reduction surgery
Gynecomastia surgery reduces enlarged male breast tissue — whether caused by glandular tissue, excess fat, or a combination of both — to restore a flatter, firmer chest contour.
Our surgeons assess whether your case is primarily glandular, fatty, or mixed, since the correct surgical approach (excision, liposuction, or both) depends entirely on that distinction.
Key Benefits
- Flatter, more contoured chest profile
- Reduced chest sensitivity and discomfort some patients experience
- Improved confidence in fitted clothing and swimwear
- Combines excision and liposuction as needed for the specific case
Is This Treatment Right For You?
- Men with persistent enlarged breast tissue unresponsive to weight loss
- Patients with glandular gynecomastia (which doesn't respond to diet/exercise)
- Those self-conscious about chest appearance in fitted clothing
What to Expect
Diagnosis
Clinical exam (and bloodwork if indicated) to rule out hormonal causes.
Surgical Plan
Liposuction, glandular excision, or a combined technique is selected.
Procedure
Typically performed as a day case under general anaesthesia or sedation.
Compression & Recovery
A compression vest supports the new contour during healing.
Recovery & Aftercare
Most patients return to light work within a week, with full recovery and settling over 6–8 weeks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is gynecomastia surgery covered by insurance?
This varies by policy and diagnosis — our team can help you understand your specific coverage during consultation.
Will the results be permanent?
Removed glandular tissue and fat cells do not return under normal circumstances, though significant weight gain can affect results.
Is scarring visible?
Incisions are placed discreetly, often around the areola edge, and fade significantly over time.
