The procedure aims to create a flatter, firmer, and more proportionate chest shape.
Reduction of excess breast tissue may help reduce physical discomfort or tightness.
Treatment options may include liposuction and/or surgical tissue removal, depending on individual anatomy and goals.
Results and recovery vary from person to person.
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 final contour.
• Underlying Causes: Evaluation of hormonal or medical conditions contributing to tissue growth.
• Emotional Impact: Understanding how the condition affects your self-image and daily comfort helps guide a holistic treatment approach.
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 ensure readiness for surgery.
Depending on your condition, treatment may involve liposuction, excision of glandular tissue, or both.
Recovery times vary. Most patients resume normal activities within one to two weeks. Detailed aftercare guidance will be provided, including wound care, pain management, and follow-up appointments.
Most patients can resume light activities within a week, with more strenuous tasks resumed after 3-4 weeks.
We minimise scarring by strategically placing incisions as inconspicuously as possible, and they generally fade over time.
We advise waiting 4-6 weeks before resuming rigorous physical activities to ensure proper healing.
Results are long-lasting, but factors like weight gain, hormonal changes, or certain medications can cause a recurrence.
Your satisfaction is vital. We stand by our work and are here to address any concerns, discussing potential revisional treatments if necessary.
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.
The cost can vary based on the specifics of the procedure. We'll provide a transparent cost breakdown during our consultation.
