Male chest reduction, also known as gynaecomastia surgery, is a surgical procedure to remove excess fatty tissue in the chest – sometimes referred to as “man boobs”. The procedure is designed to flatten the chest and create a natural, more masculine look.
Our expert surgeons offer three types of chest reduction surgery, which will be discussed in your free consultation. Liposuction can be used, and in some cases excess skin and glandular tissue can be removed to achieve the best result.
Gynaecomastia is an enlargement or excessive amount of breast tissue in males. It is most commonly caused by male oestrogen levels that are too high or are out of balance with testosterone levels. Weight gain also has an impact of the size of the male chest area and sometimes, despite diet and exercise, can’t be reduced naturally.
The results of the surgery will mean the fatty tissue in your chest will be removed, leaving it flatter and firmer. Results are immediate and can be maintained long-term with a healthy lifestyle.
After gynaecomastia surgery, you may feel happier about your body when taking off your top, playing sports or going swimming. The effect of being happier with how you look can’t be overestimated - our patients tell us that, by looking better on the outside, they feel better inside and their self-esteem and confidence is boosted.
As with every surgical procedure, it’s important that you’re aware of any potential risks that chest reduction surgery may pose, however small, so that you can weigh these up against the benefits that surgery can bring.
Your surgeon assistant and expert surgeon will be happy to discuss any possible complications and give you detailed information regarding the procedure. As a guide, these may include bleeding, infections, bruising, numbness and scars.
The increase in fatty tissue in the chest can be due to gynaecomastia, caused by increased oestrogen levels. Hormone imbalances can occur with age or weight gain and are relatively common.
Your surgeon may recommend weight loss, but if your larger chest is due to hormone imbalance, weight loss alone may not be effective and surgery may be needed.
