What it is
Gynecomastia is enlargement of the male breast caused by excess glandular tissue, fat, or both. Surgery removes the glandular tissue, usually through a small incision at the edge of the areola, and refines the surrounding contour with liposuction where fat is also present.
It is important to distinguish true gynecomastia (glandular tissue) from a chest that is full mainly with fat, since the treatment differs. Persistent gynecomastia that has not resolved with time or by addressing an underlying cause is best treated surgically, and any unusual findings are assessed medically first.
What it can improve
- Enlarged glandular tissue of the male breast
- A fuller chest contour, combined with liposuction where fat is present
- Chest shape and confidence
It does not build muscle, is not a weight-loss procedure, and does not prevent recurrence if an underlying cause such as certain medications or anabolic steroid use continues.
Before the procedure
You will receive individualized preparation guidance. The balance of glandular tissue and fat, and any contributing causes, are assessed at consultation so the right technique is chosen.
During the procedure
Glandular tissue is removed through a small incision at the edge of the areola, and liposuction refines the surrounding contour where needed, leaving a smooth, flat chest with attention to the areola position.
After the procedure
Swelling and bruising are normal and settle over weeks. A compression garment is worn as advised to support the contour, and chest training is reintroduced gradually under guidance.
Results: what it can and cannot achieve
A flatter, firmer, more masculine chest is achievable. Surgery cannot build muscle, and recurrence is possible if a contributing cause continues. A stable weight and avoiding anabolic steroids protect the result.
Possible risks and complications
All surgery carries risks. Possible risks include:
- Bleeding or hematoma
- Infection
- Contour irregularity or asymmetry
- Changes in nipple or skin sensation
- Loose skin where a large volume is removed
- Visible scarring
- Rarely, the need for revision
Smoking and impaired circulation raise the risk of healing problems, so honest assessment and smoking cessation are essential.
Who it suits
Gynecomastia surgery may suit men with persistent enlarged breast tissue. It is especially suitable for patients who:
- Have glandular enlargement that has not resolved over time
- Are at a stable weight
- Have addressed any treatable underlying cause
- Are in good general health with realistic expectations
- Do not smoke or can stop before and after surgery
It may not suit men whose fullness is mainly fat that may respond to weight loss, or those with an untreated underlying cause. Your surgeon assesses this carefully and may recommend medical review first.
