About the procedure
Gynecomastia is enlargement of male breast gland tissue. Fat and excess skin can also affect chest appearance, and these different components do not always call for the same treatment.
Your consultation
The consultation covers when the change began, how it has developed, medications and any symptoms. Examination helps establish whether further investigations are needed before considering surgery.
What to expect
- Medical assessment, discussion of options and agreement on a plan.
- Removal of gland tissue, liposuction or a combination, according to the assessment.
- Aftercare and follow-up adapted to the healing process.
Recovery and follow-up
Swelling and local tenderness change during healing. Advice on compression garments, exercise and follow-up is tailored to the operation performed.
What to consider
Scarring, changes in sensation and contour differences need discussion. An ongoing medical cause may affect the chest again after surgery.

Is liposuction enough?
It can address the fatty component but does not remove gland tissue in the same way. The doctor explains which tissues contribute to the fullness.
Does the cause of gynecomastia matter?
Yes. Understanding the cause and your health comes before a surgical decision and may lead to further investigations or other treatment options.
Discuss the cost before treatment.
Ask for an estimate for your case and clarify what is included: consultations, the procedure, investigations and follow-up visits. The plan and final cost are agreed after assessment.
