Why have a Surgery for Gynaecomastia?

Restore a more natural male appearance to the chest.

Breast development either true breast tissue or fat deposition, is common during puberty in many boys. However, this physiological gynaecomastia resolves in the majority of young men. Approximately 10% of young men have persistence of the breast development, and this can cause significant psychological problems. Rarely, breast development results from tumours of the breast or abnormal hormonal production from other tumours. These will need to be excluded prior to any treatment for gynaecomastia.

The operation to correct the breast development will involve liposuction (PAL), surgery or a combination of both. The type of procedure required to achieve the best result will depend on the amount of fat deposit and breast tissue present. Rarely is it necessary to remove skin from the breast, therefore scarring should be minimal. A careful assessment will be required and the optimum treatment will be discussed at the time of your Consultation.

Remember surgery will not change you or solve any life crises, but should boost your self-confidence and enjoyment of life.
