Gynaecomastia

Introduction

Gynaecomastia, commonly known as “male breast enlargement”, is a condition where men develop excess breast tissue. It can cause discomfort and affect self-confidence, especially when wearing fitted clothing or going shirtless. Gynaecomastia treatment offers a safe and effective solution to restore a flatter, more masculine chest contour.

What is gynecomastia?

Gynaecomastia is the benign enlargement of male breast tissue caused by hormonal imbalances, genetics, certain medications, or lifestyle factors. It is not usually harmful to health, but it can have a significant impact on confidence and body image.

Treatment typically involves surgical correction to remove excess fat and glandular tissue, and in some cases, skin tightening may also be required.

Causes of Gynecomastia

  • Hormonal changes (teenage years or aging)

     

  • Obesity and excess fat deposits

     

  • Use of certain medications or steroids

     

  • Genetics and family history

     

  • Underlying health conditions

Who is an Ideal Candidate?

  • Men with enlarged breast tissue that does not improve with diet or exercise

     

  • Individuals experiencing discomfort or self-consciousness due to chest appearance

     

  • Patients with stable body weight and good general health

     

  • Non-smokers and those without serious medical conditions affecting healing

Treatment Process / Step by Step

  1. Consultation: A detailed assessment of chest tissue, medical history, and treatment goals.

     

  2. Preparation: Pre-surgery guidelines are provided, and anesthesia is administered on the day of treatment.

     

  3. Surgery: Excess glandular tissue and fat are removed, often using a combination of excision and liposuction techniques.

     

  4. Shaping: The chest is contoured to achieve a natural, masculine appearance.

     

  5. Recovery: Compression garments may be applied to reduce swelling and support healing.

     

⏱ The procedure usually takes 1–2 hours, with recovery time varying per patient.
