Gynecomastia

We Are Experts In Male Breast Reduction

Gynecomastia is the medical term for ‘man boobs’ – when breast-like bulges appear on a man’s chest. Gynecomastia is very common – it is believed to affect around 70% of men, usually during puberty when the body is being flooded with hormones. For some, the breast-like lumps naturally reduce over time; for others, they remain into adulthood.

An imbalance of the sex hormones testosterone and oestrogen is the primary cause of male breasts, which can happen naturally, or as the result of taking hormone medication (e.g. steroids).

Being overweight is another factor that can contribute to this imbalance and cause Gynecomastia. It can affect one or both breasts and can range from a small swelling around the nipple to larger protrusions.

Although occasionally painful, Gynecomastia poses no risk to your health and it is not linked to breast cancer. However, it can have a negative impact on your body confidence and self-esteem. For some men, these negative emotions can contribute to more serious issues later down the line, including depression and related mental health conditions.

If you’re concerned about Gynecomastia or you’re experiencing pain the male breast area, the first thing to do is consult a medical professional and discuss how you’re feeling.

Do I Have Gynecomastia?

Many of our male patients will ask us to help them identify whether they have Gynecomastia or not. It is one of the biggest causes of body-related insecurities, so it is only natural that men want to address the issue and find a fix.

The easiest way to find out whether you may have gynecomastia is by having a look at your body in the mirror.

• Fullness, puffy nipples and an abnormally wide areolas

GYNECOMASTIA

Should I Consider Surgery?

If you are under 18 and have had enlarged breasts for less than 12 months there is a chance that hormone treatment can help and you should contact your GP Immediately. Feel free to call us for info. We do provide any non-surgical solutions but will be happy to give you some free advice

For everyone else, surgery is the only way to remove the gland and in this we have a lot of experience. We offer up front pricing and a wealth of information about the gynecomastia procedure and aftercare in advance of your consultation. This means that by the time you meet the surgeon you are fully informed and can ask pertinent questions without having to go over the basics.

Male breast reduction under local anaesthetic is one of the safest cosmetic surgeries available, but no surgery is without risk. Be sure to do plenty of research before committing to it, and be sure to find a provider that has been around for a few years so you know that they will still be there if you need any follow up treatments. There are minor complications like scar tissue that need treatment 6 months after the initial surgery. It is important to ensure that these follow ups are included in your treatment plan

Recovery Time

It can take a few weeks to fully recover from breast reduction surgery and it can take up to six months to see the full results.

The length of time you need to keep the dressings on depends on how quickly your wounds heal. While every patient’s healing process is unique, most patients feel ready to return to light duties just a few days after a male breast reduction, depending on the nature of their work.

You should avoid stretching, doing exercise and heavy lifting for up to six weeks after the operation. You can usually drive again when it’s no longer painful to wear a seatbelt, approx 3 days.

This is a once in a lifetime procedure so give your body a chance to recover.

The Bottom Line

Since FUE does not leave a linear scar (like FUT), patients can cut and style their hair without restrictions. With FUT, the donor area will be left with a small linear scar, which can be hidden by the hair around it. Patients are advised not to cut their hair too short (i.e. below a number 3). With FUT procedures the grafts are extracted under microscopes and there is a lower transection rate (damaged grafts). Both methods have their merits and we are always happy to help you to make an informed choice on your best way forward.
