Undergoing male breast reduction surgery, also referred to as Gynaecomastia, at Kingsbridge Private Hospital means you’ll get outstanding patient care before, during and after your procedure.
Gynaecomastia, commonly known as "man boobs," is a condition characterized by the enlargement of breast tissue in males. It affects a significant number of men worldwide, causing physical and emotional discomfort. While the causes of gynaecomastia vary, it often arises due to hormonal imbalances, certain medications, obesity, or genetic factors. For individuals seeking to restore their masculine chest contour and boost their self-confidence, gynaecomastia surgery offers a highly effective solution.
Gynaecomastia may be caused by diet or hormonal reasons. At Kingsbridge Private Hospital Group our specialist Consultant Surgeons will be able to provide advice on this condition and discuss the possible treatment options available to you.
Male breast reduction surgery may be one of the options offered to patients if other treatments have been deemed ineffective or unsuitable. Surgical intervention will be decided on a case by case basis and the patient will discuss what this involves with his Surgeon and allay any concerns or questions he may have.
Gynaecomastia surgery, also known as male breast reduction or man boob surgery, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess breast tissue and fat from the male chest. It aims to restore a more masculine appearance by sculpting a flatter, firmer, and more contoured chest contour. The surgery not only eliminates the physical discomfort associated with gynaecomastia but also helps alleviate the psychological and social impact it can have on affected individuals.
Before undergoing gynaecomastia surgery, a thorough consultation with a certified plastic surgeon is essential. During this consultation, the surgeon will evaluate the patient's medical history, assess the severity of gynaecomastia, and determine the most appropriate surgical approach. They will also discuss the patient's expectations, potential risks, and recovery process.
Gynaecomastia surgery involves various techniques, depending on the extent of breast tissue enlargement and the individual's specific needs. The two primary surgical approaches used are liposuction and excision:
Following gynaecomastia surgery, patients can expect some bruising, swelling, and discomfort in the treated area. The surgeon may recommend wearing a compression garment to minimize swelling and promote optimal healing. Most individuals can resume light activities within a few days and return to normal activities within a few weeks, depending on the extent of the surgery.
The results of gynaecomastia surgery are generally long-lasting, provided patients maintain a healthy lifestyle. A balanced diet, regular exercise, and weight management can help prevent the recurrence of gynaecomastia. The surgical intervention provides a renewed sense of self-confidence, allowing individuals to feel more comfortable and at ease with their appearance.
While gynaecomastia surgery is generally safe, it is crucial to understand the potential risks associated with any surgical procedure. Complications such as infection, bleeding, scarring, asymmetry, changes in nipple sensation, or contour irregularities may occur. However, these risks can be minimized by selecting an experienced and qualified plastic surgeon and following their post-operative care instructions diligently.
Gynaecomastia surgery offers a reliable and effective solution for men seeking to address the physical and emotional discomfort associated with man boobs. By removing excess breast tissue and fat, this surgical procedure helps restore a more masculine chest contour, enhancing self-esteem and overall well-being. Consultation with a skilled plastic surgeon can provide individuals with the necessary guidance and personalised treatment plan, leading to successful outcomes and a renewed sense of confidence.
