Gynaecomastia (Male Breast Reduction)
Male Breast Reduction surgery (gynaecomastia) is designed to reduce excess tissue and improve chest contour, providing a more balanced appearance.
OVERVIEW
Gynaecomastia is characterised by the enlargement of male breast tissue, which may result from hormonal changes, medications, genetic factors or underlying health conditions.
Surgical treatment for gynaecomastia aims to reduce excess tissue and fat in the chest area to achieve a flatter, more contoured appearance. Depending on individual needs, the procedure may involve liposuction, excision of glandular tissue or a combination of techniques.
JOURNEY

Preparation
Before surgery, patients receive clear instructions regarding fasting, medications and any necessary lifestyle adjustments. These guidelines are designed to support a safe surgical experience and optimal recovery.
Surgery
The procedure may involve liposuction to remove excess fat or a mastectomy to excise glandular tissue. Your surgeon will choose the method that best addresses your specific needs while minimising scarring.
