Book a Consultation
Your gynaecomastia treatment is guided from first consultation through to recovery, with every step focused on achieving a natural, masculine result.
From planning the right approach to seeing your final contour, our surgeons ensure you feel informed, supported and confident throughout your journey.
Meet your consultant surgeon to discuss concerns about chest shape and examine the underlying tissue. Together, you’ll explore whether surgery is right for you.
Your surgeon will plan the most effective approach, whether that’s liposuction, glandular tissue removal, or a combination, always aiming for minimal scarring.
Under general anaesthetic, excess fat and gland tissue are removed. You’ll usually return home the same day, wearing a compression garment to support healing.
Follow-up appointments check your progress and healing. As swelling reduces, your new chest contour becomes more defined, restoring comfort and confidence.
Men with a normal weight stand to gain the most from surgical procedures as compared with those who are overweight. Furthermore, this a very effective treatment to get rid of excess skin and tissue in patients who have undergone a weight loss programme. At TPSG we offer surgery to all men above the age of 18. Prior to surgery all patients will have a detailed history taken and examination performed. If necessary, patients will be referred to an Endocrinologist to exclude any causes that can be treated medically. Surgery for gynaecomastia is not suitable for patients who seek weight loss by means of surgery.
Typically it is the anterior chest and torso of the male patient that is treated.
At TPSG all patients will be seen by the surgeon who is going to perform the procedure on them. All concerns are discussed and an appropriate, achievable and safe gyanecomastia procedure will be chosen.
The operation is performed under general anaesthesia as a day case procedure. Two small incisions (one for each breast) are made on the chest wall where it is least noticeable, to allow the introduction of the liposuction cannula. After an adequate liposuction, through the same small incision excess breast gland is carefully removed. The incisions are closed with an absorbable suture and small dressing applied over it. All patients are then placed in an elasticated compression garments to decrease oedema. Patients are advised to wear the garment at all times for six weeks.
Patients can go home the same day after the operation and are encouraged to mobilise, discomfort permitting. They will be allowed to shower 24-48 hours after the operation. Driving, office type job and light duties are permitted 10-14 days after the operation. Sporting activities can be resumed after 6 weeks. It will take 3-6 months for the full benefit of the surgery to be realised once the swelling has settled down.
The benefits of body contouring procedures can last a life time. However, if the patient gains weight excessively for example, the shape of the chest area can return to the pre-operative state. Therefore, it is essential for patients to maintain their results by adopting a healthy lifestyle.
On the whole in carefully selected patients the risk of surgery is minimal. Minor skin infection, mild contour deformity, misshaped nipple and bleeding after the operation are some of the more common risks. At TPSG, utmost care and attention is paid to every detail of the surgical journey to ensure the risk of any complication is absolutely minimised.
Yes. A snug compression garment is worn for around six weeks after surgery. This helps reduce swelling, support healing, and improve the final chest contour.
Light activity can usually be resumed after about two weeks, but strenuous exercise, especially chest workouts, should be avoided for at least 4–6 weeks. Your surgeon will give you personalised advice.
In most cases, the results are long-lasting. Maintaining a healthy weight and addressing any hormonal causes helps prevent recurrence. If changes do occur, revision surgery is sometimes possible.
