Confidential and considerate breast treatment

For men, it can be a point of contention to have breasts that are abnormally large or feature female-type breast tissue. If this is something that bothers you, the team at Adnova Clinic is ready to provide gynaecomastia correction surgery in a safe and comfortable environment.

What to expect from this surgery

Similar to a breast reduction for women, male breast reduction surgery involves the removal of excess tissue around the breasts. Although the techniques used may vary depending on the nature of your condition. Gynaecomastia can feature mostly fatty or glandular tissue, or a mixture of the two types. The procedure might include a combination of gland excision, liposuction, and skin reduction depending on your objectives.

At Adnova we don’t just do Gynaecomastia Correction, we also offer other procedures such as Breast Augmentation, Breast Reduction, and Breast Uplift.

Gynaecomastia before and after

What causes gynaecomastia?

There can be many factors associated with the gynaecomastia condition, leading to the development of larger breasts at any age. It could be due to changes in hormone levels, bodily reactions brought on by medications or other influences, or as a result of an underlying medical condition. At Adnova Clinic, we aim to secure long lasting results for our patients. We therefore recommend seeing your GP to ascertain the cause of your gynaecomastia before seeking surgical help.

Aftercare for gynaecomastia surgery

Gynaecomastia correction can be a large significant surgery, so it’s important to follow an aftercare plan to reduce disruption to your everyday activities. The healing process typically takes at least 6 weeks, during which time you should avoid movements that engage the chest muscles, as this could lead to fluid build up. It could take many months for the swelling to disappear altogether. In addition, your surgeon is likely to recommend the following: 

  • Maintain good posture. 
  • Regularly inspect and clean incision sites. 
  • Wear compression garments diligently. 
  • Stay hydrated. 
  • Take any prescribed medications. 

Frequently Asked Questions

It is possible for gynaecomastia to disappear without intervention, although this is unlikely. Severe cases of gynaecomastia and gynaecomastia that develops after puberty often requires surgery to address. 

Typically, the procedure to remove tissue from the breast area takes roughly 60-90 minutes. This duration could be extended if there is an abundance of tissue.
