Male Breast Reduction Gynecomastia

Male Breast Reduction surgery is a popular technique performed by CosMediTour Plastic Surgeons to remove excess skin from significant weight loss, excess localised fat and removal of glandular breast tissue, also known as Gynecomastia, which can be the result of steroid or steroid like substance usage.

Although, this common procedure is sometimes not often discussed openly due to the certain stigma men can feel about requiring breast surgery. Results, can include a flatter, firmer, better-contoured chest by removing fat and glandular tissue, whilst assisting in increasing self-esteem and confidence.

FAQ’s – Male Breast Revision

Will there be much scarring after the procedure?

Your Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon will ensure that there is minimal scarring from your breast reduction. Incisions are positioned to be least noticeable, if not hidden, along the lower border of the areola, where the pigmented and paler skin comes together. Within 6 – 12 months after surgery most scars will usually fade from the surrounding skin.

Is there much pain after having a Male Breast Reduction?

Generally there is mild to moderate pain after a Male Breast Reduction. Pain relief medication prescribed post-surgery by your Surgeon can assist with managing this if required.

What happens during recovery after Male Breast Reduction surgery?

To assist healing and help reduce scarring, a surgical vest needs to be worn under your clothing for a few days. It is then replaced with less bulky dressings and a compression vest is worn for a few more weeks, during which time you are unable to exercise the upper part of your body. The stitches around the areola are dissolvable and do not need to be removed. Most patients take a week away from work, but some return even sooner.

Could suspected Gynaecomastia be Breast Cancer?

This is uncommon and male breast cancer is rare but if you find a firm, painless lump in your breast (generally on one side) you should seek medical advice.
