Gynaecomastia Surgery

Gynaecomastia Surgery, often referred to as Male Breast Reduction Surgery, is a medical procedure for treating Gynaecomastia, a condition characterised by the enlargement of male breast tissue. This condition can be caused by various factors, including hormonal imbalances, certain medications, obesity, or genetics.

Gynaecomastia Surgery or Male Breast Reduction Surgery may be appropriate for individuals who are experiencing enlarged breast tissue and are looking to achieve a flatter, more masculine chest contour. Suitable candidates for Gynaecomastia Surgery typically share the following characteristics;

• Diagnosed with Gynaecomastia
• Good overall health
• Stable weight
• Realistic expectations
• Stable hormones
• 18+ years old
• Non-smoker or a smoker willing to quit
• Understands the risks and potential complications

Keep in mind that Gynaecomastia surgery can address both the excess glandular tissue and fatty tissue in the chest and the specific surgical approach will be determined by the type and severity of the condition. Consulting with a qualified Surgeon is crucial to ensure the most appropriate treatment plan for your situation.

Changed Chest Contour: The primary goal of Gynaecomastia surgery is to reduce excess breast tissue and create a flatter and more masculine chest contour.

Comfort: In some cases, Gynaecomastia Surgery may improve physical comfort by eliminating any discomfort or pain associated with enlarged breast tissue.

Customised Treatment: Gynecomastia can vary in severity, and male breast reduction can be tailored to the specific needs of the patient, ranging from liposuction for mild cases to excision techniques for more severe cases.

Permanent Results: When performed by a skilled Surgeon, Gynaecomastia Surgery typically provides permanent results. The reduction of breast tissue is generally permanent, though maintaining a healthy lifestyle is essential.

• Anesthesia

Gynaecomastia Surgery is typically performed under general anaesthetic

• Incisions and Technique

The surgical technique used will depend on the type and severity of your Gynaecomastia. Liposuction may be used for cases primarily involving fatty tissue, while surgical excision is necessary for the removal of excess glandular tissue.

Liposuction involves small incisions made near the treatment area to insert a thin tube (cannula) to suction out excess fat.

Surgical excision may require larger incisions, which are typically made around the areola or in other inconspicuous locations.

Excess glandular tissue may be removed directly, and skin may be tightened as needed.

• Tissue Removal and Contouring

The surgeon will remove the excess breast tissue.

• Closing Incisions

After the desired results are achieved, the incisions are closed with sutures.
In many cases, absorbable sutures are used, which do not need to be removed.

Our surgeon will provide you with detailed information about the procedure and guide you through the entire process, from pre-operative preparations to post-operative care.

Gynaecomastia Surgery, like any surgical procedure, carries potential risks and complications. It is important to be aware of these and discuss them with your surgeon during the consultation. Common risks and complications associated with Gynaecomastia Surgery may include:

• Infection
• Bleeding
• Haematoma
• Seroma
• Scarring
• Changes in nipple sensation
• Asymmetry
• Anaesthetic risks
• Wound healing issues
• Breast tissue regrowth
• Unsatisfactory results
• Need for revision surgery

Expect significant swelling and bruising around the chest area. This is normal and should subside over the following weeks. You may also experience some discomfort. Your Surgeon will provide you with instructions on wearing compression garments or bandages to reduce swelling and provide support to the chest area. These garments help to shape the chest and promote proper healing and need to be worn for 5-6 weeks post surgery.

You will receive a prescription for pain medication to manage any discomfort or pain. It is essential to rest and take it easy during the initial recovery period. Keep your head elevated while lying down to help reduce swelling. Avoid lying flat, especially for the first few days after surgery.

You should avoid exercising, swimming, and other intense physical activities in the first few weeks post surgery. Smoking and alcohol should be avoided pre and post surgery as they can hinder the healing process.
