Surgery aims to reduce excess breast tissue and may alter chest contour. Outcomes vary between individuals.
In some cases, reduction of excess tissue may reduce associated physical discomfort. Individual outcomes vary.
Treatment options may include liposuction, surgical excision of glandular tissue, or a combination of both, depending on clinical assessment.
Results and recovery vary from person to person. Gynaecomastia surgery is performed by a registered medical practitioner following consultation and clinical assessment.
This procedure may be considered for individuals with persistent enlargement of breast tissue that has not improved with lifestyle or medical management.
Common factors assessed include:
• Enlarged Breast Tissue: Presence of excess glandular or fatty tissue.
• Skin Elasticity: Good skin tone can influence post-surgical shape.
• Underlying Causes: Evaluation of hormonal or medical conditions contributing to tissue growth.
The process begins with an in-depth consultation to understand your concerns, assess your chest contour, and discuss available treatment options.
Pre-operative safety checks and instructions are provided to support preparation for surgery.
Depending on your condition, treatment may involve liposuction, excision of glandular tissue, or both.
Recovery times vary. Most patients return to daily activities varies depending on the extent of surgery and individual healing response. Detailed aftercare guidance will be provided, including wound care, pain management, and follow-up appointments.
Many patients resume light activities within one to two weeks, depending on individual healing and clinical advice.
Incisions are placed based on surgical requirements. Scarring occurs with all surgery and varies between individuals.
Patients are typically advised to avoid strenuous exercise for several weeks. Specific guidance will be provided during recovery.
Surgery removes glandular tissue; however, outcomes vary. Weight changes, hormonal factors, or certain medications may influence chest contour over time.
If you have concerns about your outcome, a review consultation can be arranged. Healing takes time, and further assessment may be required before discussing additional options.
It may involve avoiding certain medications, abstaining from smoking, and ensuring overall health. We’ll provide detailed instructions.
Gynaecomastia surgery is a surgical procedure and, as such, carries inherent risks and potential complications. These may include bleeding, bruising, swelling, pain, infection, fluid accumulation (seroma), haematoma, delayed wound healing, or adverse reactions to local or general anaesthesia. Scarring may occur and varies between individuals. Changes in skin sensation, including numbness or altered sensitivity of the chest or nipple–areola complex, may occur and are usually temporary, though in rare cases may be prolonged or permanent. Skin irregularities, contour asymmetry, residual fullness, over- or under-correction, or dissatisfaction with aesthetic outcome may occur. Less commonly, more serious complications such as skin necrosis, nipple–areola compromise, or the need for revision surgery may occur. Results are variable and cannot be guaranteed. Individual risk depends on factors such as medical history, degree of breast tissue, skin quality, surgical technique, and healing response. These risks and limitations will be discussed in detail during your consultation to support informed decision-making.
