Cosmetic Surgery for Men: Male Chest Reduction

Gynaecomastia is a word taken from the Greek words meaning “women-like breasts.”

It can affect one breast or both. There is no doubt that it can cause severe embarrassment for many men. There is no known cause in the vast majority of these cases, although certain drugs may be a contributory factor in some.

Thankfully, surgery can now be performed which can alleviate this problem.

Firstly, you should consider whether a diet and exercise regime would help with the problem. If you are overweight or obese , this could be a reason for the excess fat. Drugs such as anabolic steroids can also cause gynaecomastia.

The type of surgery used to correct this problem will be determined at your consultation with the surgeon. It may be possible to use liposuction to achieve a flatter more natural contour, or in some cases a male breast reduction needs to be performed to remove not only the excess fat, but also glandular tissue.

The operation is performed under a general anaesthetic and an overnight stay will be required in our hospital. Occasionally, if only liposuction is used you may be discharged the same day, and a local anaesthetic with sedation may be possible.

You will feel bruised and sore after this procedure and you will need to plan ten to fourteen days off work.
