What is Male Chest Reduction?

Male chest reduction, also known as gynecomastia surgery, is a procedure designed to reduce excess tissue in the male chest area, which can cause a feminine appearance. This condition may be caused by hormonal changes, genetics, or lifestyle factors. Gynecomastia surgery helps restore a flatter, more masculine chest contour.

The procedure can involve the removal of excess glandular tissue, fat, or skin, providing a more toned and defined chest. It’s ideal for men who are in good health but are struggling with enlarged breast tissue that does not improve with diet or exercise.

What Happens During Surgery?

The surgery begins with the administration of local anaesthesia or light sedation to ensure you are comfortable. Depending on the amount of tissue to be removed, small incisions are made around the areola or in less visible areas to minimise scarring.

Excess fat can be removed through liposuction, while any excess glandular tissue or skin is surgically excised. The result is a flatter, more defined chest that enhances your overall body proportions.

After the procedure, a compression garment is typically worn to help the chest heal and to support the new shape.

Is Male Chest Reduction Right for Me?

Male chest reduction surgery is ideal for men experiencing enlarged breast tissue, whether due to hormonal imbalances, weight fluctuations, or genetics. The procedure is suitable for men who are in good overall health and have realistic expectations for the surgery’s outcome. It is important to note that the surgery is not a solution for significant weight loss, and it is most effective for those who have already reached a stable weight.
Male chest reduction provides a flatter, more masculine chest contour, enhancing physical appearance and improving the fit of clothing. The procedure offers permanent results, as the removed fat and tissue do not grow back, leading to increased confidence and self-esteem.
As with any surgery, there are some risks, such as temporary swelling, bruising, or scarring. There may also be slight asymmetry or changes in nipple sensation, though these are rare and typically resolve over time. Following aftercare instructions significantly reduces the risk of complications.
