Keeping it simple
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.
Keeping it simple

GynEcomastia
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
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.

Excellent and affordable service
After I was scammed by the Harley medical, I lost hope. But after speaking to Mathew I regained confidence. Unlike the scammer Harley medical they didn’t charge me until the procedure was done. I was satisfied with the results and the way Mathew, Kate and others has delt with me. The procedure has taken place as they have described. I recommend them with my eyes closed. Also I must say Dr. Nurein has done an excellent job. I ask everyone to stay away from scammers like Harley medical. They had hit me with a lot of hidden charges. I lost £1200 and 4 months delay. Fortunately the surgery group helped me to get my life back on tract.

Gyno Surgery
I used the surgery group for my gynecomastia surgery with Dr nurein. Although too early to comment on my results as the surgery was today I have to say that the Surgery Group were amazing from start to finish. Matthew was my patient coordinator and nothing was too much trouble. Any questions I had he responded quickly either via txt or on the phone. This was also evenings and weekends it didn't matter. There was never any pressure at al, I would highly recommend using the surgery group for your cosmetic procedure in particular Gyno surgery and hair transplants as Matthew is extremely knowledgeable on these subjects....

Best gynecomastia place
I went into this surgery very confident as I watched a lot of videos of lebowitz so studied how the operation was going. I was not nervous at all. When I have entered the surgery room they took excellent care of me, the nurses are very funny and have a good sense of humour and do a great. The local anaesthetic Injection didn't hurt at all, pain free. And when they have filled you up with the liquid they wait a good 10 minutes to ensure that you will feel no pain at all. Dr. Nurein did a fantastic job. And he went through everything he was doing to me during the surgery and answered every question i had for him. My chest is looking amazing now....

Good Experience
Only 4 days out from my operation so yet to get the real results. Dr. Nurein was great during the operation and very attentive to whether I was in pain or not. The nurses also were great and friendly and put me at ease (I planned on requesting something to relax through the operation but on the day felt completely comfortable and didn't require any). I look forward to my results and thankyou to Dr. Nurein and his team! 🙂
