What is male breast reduction?

Male breast reduction, also known as gynecomastia surgery, is a cosmetic procedure designed to remove excess breast tissue and fat from the chest area. Gynecomastia can affect men of any age and often leads to the appearance of enlarged breasts that resemble those typically found in women. This condition can be caused by hormonal imbalances, obesity, medications, or other underlying health factors.

NovaForma Plastic Surgery performs male breast reduction in the UK, restoring a natural, more defined male chest contour to boost the patients’ confidence and comfort.

Types of male breast reduction procedures

There are different approaches to male breast reduction, depending on the extent of fat or tissue involved.

liposuction alone

Liposuction alone

For those with excess fat as the main concern, liposuction may be all that's needed. This minimally invasive procedure removes stubborn fat, enhancing the chest's masculine appearance.

combination approach

Combination approach

If excess glandular tissue is also an issue, surgeons may combine liposuction with tissue removal for more complete results. This approach restores the chest to its optimal, masculine form.

male extensive reduction

Extensive reduction

For more severe cases, this approach removes fat, tissue, and excess skin to reshape the chest. Scars are placed around the areola and beneath the chest.

What to expect from our male breast reduction
in the UK

Before surgery

You’ll have a consultation with one of our expert plastic surgeons. During this session, we’ll evaluate your unique condition and discuss your goals to determine the most suitable approach for your surgery. To guarantee the best possible outcome, a physical examination and a review of your medical history and lifestyle may be necessary.

The procedure

The procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia and takes one to two hours, depending on its complexity. It often includes liposuction to remove excess fat, complemented by small, strategically placed incisions to eliminate glandular tissue. Careful attention is given to minimise scarring while delivering a natural, sculpted appearance.

Recovery

Recovery times vary, but most patients experience some swelling and discomfort in the first few days. You’ll be required to wear a compression garment to support healing and reduce swelling.

Light activities can usually be resumed within one to two weeks, but it’s important to avoid strenuous exercise for at least six weeks to allow your body to heal fully.
