Gynaecomastia
Also known as: Male breast surgery (Male Chest Reduction)
Gynaecomastia is a common condition where extra breast tissue or fat gives the chest a fuller look. If gym work, weight loss, or time haven’t helped, a quick day-case procedure can restore a flatter, more masculine contour.
Why it happens
Hormone changes, certain medications, ageing, weight changes, or genetics can all play a role. It’s not your fault—and it’s very treatable.
Your treatment options
- Liposuction to remove excess fat
- Gland removal for firm tissue behind the nipple
- Combined approach for the best, most natural shape
What to expect
- Performed under local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia
- Small, discreet incisions (often around the areola)
- Home the same day; back to light activity in a few days
- Compression garment for support during healing
Results you can see
- Flatter, more defined chest
- Improved confidence in and out of clothes
- Long-lasting results when weight is stable

Some swelling or bruising is normal and settles. As with any surgery, risks exist (e.g., infection, bleeding, contour irregularity), but complications are uncommon in experienced hands. We’ll guide you every step.
