Gynecomastia surgery, also known as male breast reduction surgery, is a procedure aimed at reducing the size of enlarged male breasts. It is commonly sought for various reasons, including discomfort or self-consciousness during physical activities, irritation from clothing, or dissatisfaction with appearance. During the procedure, excess glandular tissue and fat are typically removed from the chest area to achieve a flatter, more masculine contour. This reduction not only addresses aesthetic concerns but can also alleviate physical discomfort and improve self-esteem. Some proponents of gynecomastia surgery suggest that reducing excess tissue may also decrease the risk of skin infections or chafing, as well as provide a more comfortable fit with clothing.
GYNECOMASTIA OPERATION GUIDE
What Is Gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia surgery, also known as male breast reduction surgery, is a cosmetic procedure aimed at reducing the size of enlarged male breasts. Typically performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation, the surgery involves removing excess glandular tissue and/or fat from the chest area to achieve a flatter and more masculine contour. The procedure can be conducted using a scalpel or liposuction techniques, depending on the specific needs of the patient. After the excess tissue is removed, the remaining skin may be reshaped and contoured to achieve a smoother appearance. The surgery generally takes around 1 to 2 hours, though this can vary based on individual factors and the extent of correction needed. Recovery typically involves wearing a compression garment to support healing and minimize swelling, with most patients able to resume normal activities within a few weeks under the guidance of their plastic surgeon.
Who May Be A Good Candidate For Gynecomastia?
Ideal candidates for gynecomastia surgery are typically healthy individuals seeking to reduce the appearance of enlarged male breasts for both aesthetic and functional reasons. The procedure is suitable for men over 18 years of age who are bothered by the size or shape of their breasts and desire a more masculine chest contour. Before proceeding with surgery, a thorough medical consultation with our experienced plastic surgeons and medical advisors will assess your health status and discuss your goals and expectations. This consultation ensures that you receive comprehensive information about the procedure, its potential outcomes, and any associated risks. Based on this evaluation, our team will determine if gynecomastia surgery is suitable for you and develop a personalised treatment plan to achieve the desired results effectively and safely.

Gynecomastia surgery is typically performed under either general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation, depending on the extent of the procedure and patient preferences. The average operation time ranges from 1 to 3 hours, depending on the specific techniques used and the amount of tissue to be removed. During the surgery, anesthesia ensures that patients do not experience pain or discomfort. In the initial days following surgery, patients may experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort around the chest area, which gradually subsides over the next several weeks. Our dedicated medical team and plastic surgeons will provide thorough pre-operative guidance and post-operative care instructions to ensure your comfort and recovery. They will be readily available to address any concerns and monitor your progress during the healing process to achieve optimal results from gynecomastia surgery.

GYNECOMASTIA FAQ
FAQ
The most asked questions about Gynecomastia
Gynecomastia can be caused by hormonal changes (imbalance of oestrogen and testosterone), certain medications, underlying medical conditions (such as liver or kidney disease), obesity, or genetics.
Gynecomastia can affect males of all ages, from infancy to adulthood. It is particularly common during puberty and in older men due to hormonal fluctuations.
Recovery time varies, but most patients can return to work and light activities within a few days to a week. Strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for several weeks. Compression garments are often worn to help reduce swelling and support the healing tissues.
Scarring depends on the surgical technique used. Incisions are typically placed in inconspicuous areas such as around the edge of the areola or in the natural chest creases. Scars tend to fade over time but their visibility varies among individuals.
In most cases, the results of gynecomastia surgery are permanent, especially if the underlying causes (such as hormonal imbalance or certain medications) are addressed. Maintaining a stable weight and avoiding factors that can cause gynecomastia recurrence can help sustain results.
Swelling and bruising are common after surgery, so final results may not be immediately apparent. It can take several weeks to months for swelling to fully resolve and for the chest contours to settle. The final results are usually seen around 3 to 6 months after surgery.
