What Is Male Breast Gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia, also spelled gynaecomastia, is growth of male breast gland tissue. It may affect one or both sides and can cause tenderness or fullness around the nipple. Fat, glandular tissue and loose skin can occur together, so appearance alone cannot determine the right treatment.
Benefits
For suitable patients with persistent enlargement, treatment may offer: A flatter chest contour through reduction of excess gland, fat or skin. Less prominence beneath fitted clothing or swimwear.
Am I a Good Candidate?
Male breast reduction may suit people who: Have persistent breast enlargement after assessment of its cause. Remain concerned about chest fullness despite appropriate observation or other treatment.
Your Procedure
- Procedure type: Gland excision, chest liposuction, skin removal or a combination, depending on the tissues involved.
- Surgery duration: Depends on the amount of correction and whether techniques are combined; the planned duration is discussed at consultation.
- Recovery: Individual guidance covers work, driving, lifting, exercise, garments and follow-up. Swelling and the final contour may take several months to settle.
- Anaesthesia: General anaesthesia or local anaesthesia with sedation may be considered, depending on the extent of treatment and clinical assessment.
Consultation reviews your symptoms, medicines, supplements and previous treatments. Blood tests or imaging may be recommended when indicated. Do not stop prescribed medicines without advice from the prescribing clinician.
