For a more masculine and firmer chest

Male Breast Reduction (Gynaecomastia)

If you have enlarged male breasts, SurgiCare's male breast reduction procedure could offer you the peace of mind you're searching for.

Enlarged male breasts are caused by a medical condition known as 'gynaecomastia', which can cause untold embarrassment and stress. 40 to 60 per cent of men in the UK suffered from the condition and in some cases, young adolescents can see their chest go to the size of a C cup. Undergoing male breast reduction surgery with SurgiCare can offer a permanent solution to gynaecomastia, enabling you to lead a more normal life.

Opting to undergo male breast reduction with SurgiCare could mean that social activities, such as swimming and sunbathing, may become much more enjoyable for gynaecomastia sufferers. What's more, your chest will become much more aesthetically pleasing - to you and those around you - following male breast reduction surgery, producing a firmer, flatter chest.

Who's male breast reduction for?
SurgiCare carry out male breast reduction (Gynaecomastia) on healthy men of any age. Usually the best candidates for surgery have firm, elastic skin that will reshape to the body's new contours.
You should be aware that male breast reduction is not a way to lose weight. We often discourage surgery for obese men, or for overweight men who have not first attempted to correct the problem with exercise or dieting or weight loss surgery.
What does male breast reduction involve?
SurgiCare's goal is to make your experience as easy and comfortable as possible. The procedure removes fat and or glandular tissue from the breasts, and in extreme cases removes excess skin. The surgery is usually carried out under general anaesthetic and you would normally be required to stay in hospital for one night.
What should I know about male breast reduction?
Before you decide to go ahead, SurgiCare will offer you a thorough one-to-one medical consultation with a surgeon who specialises in Gynaecomastia correction procedures. During your consultation, your surgeon will ask for your general medical history and will request information relating to any previous surgery.
How is male breast reduction performed?
Two methods are available for this procedure, and sometimes a combination is used.
  1. By making a half moon incision around or below the areola and cutting away the unwanted breast tissue.
  2. With the advancement of surgical techniques and the introduction of specifically designed lipoplasty equipment, the surgeon is able to break up and draw off excess fat through a fine cannula. The breast fat is approached from a tiny incision towards the armpit or under the nipple.
    This incision heals well and is difficult to see.
Are there any risks with male breast reduction?
Fortunately, significant complications from Gynaecomastia correction are infrequent. Every year, many men undergo successful breast-reduction surgery, experience no major problems and are delighted with the results. Anyone considering surgery, however, should be aware of both the benefits and the risks. Your surgeon will discuss these with you during your consultation.
What happens after male breast reduction surgery?
Bruising is a natural result of the surgery and may persist for a week or so. Hardness or lumpiness within the tissues due to swelling can persist for a month or so. Infection is uncommon but preventative antibiotics will be prescribed at discharge from hospital.
When will I see the results?
Following male breast reduction surgery, the breast tissue does not grow back but the swelling can take up to six months to settle completely. Male breast reduction is very successful in that it is a permanent solution, which restores confidence and relieves a major cause of distress and embarrassment.
When can I resume my normal activities?
Many patients return to work between one and two weeks following surgery. Lifting should be avoided for about 14 days. Sport, particularly contact sport, should be avoided for at least one month. This includes swimming. Gentle exercise such as walking is recommended.
Will I receiveaftercare following my male breast reduction operation?
At SurgiCare, you can expect the very best in post-surgery care. After your male breast reduction procedure is complete, your surgeon or our nursing staff will organise regular examinations to ensure that the surgery is healing as intended.
