Gynecomastia Treatment
A procedure that removes excess breast tissue in men to create a flatter, more contoured chest.
What is Gynecomastia Treatment?
Gynecomastia treatment addresses enlarged male breast tissue, a common condition that can result from hormonal changes, certain medications, or other factors, by removing the excess glandular tissue and, where needed, excess fat and skin. Depending on the composition of the excess tissue, your surgeon may use liposuction alone, direct surgical excision, or a combination of both to achieve a flatter, more masculine chest contour. The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia or local anaesthesia with sedation, typically taking one to two hours.
Why is this procedure performed?
- Enlarged breast tissue causing physical discomfort
- Self-consciousness about chest appearance
- Breast enlargement that has not resolved through weight loss or addressing an underlying cause
- Asymmetry between the two sides of the chest
- A desire for a flatter, more contoured chest appearance
How does this procedure help?
Gynecomastia treatment can significantly improve chest contour and reduce the self-consciousness many men feel about this common but often misunderstood condition. Most patients see a noticeably flatter chest once initial swelling resolves, with final results apparent within a few months. Because the underlying glandular tissue is removed, results are generally permanent, provided your weight remains relatively stable afterward.
