Treatment Overview

Male breast reduction, or gynaecomastia surgery, is a procedure designed to reduce excess breast tissue in men, creating a flatter, more defined masculine chest contour. Gynaecomastia, a condition caused by hormonal imbalances, weight gain, genetics, or medication side effects, results in enlarged male breasts that can affect self-confidence and physical comfort. This surgery addresses both glandular tissue and excess fat, delivering a sculpted and proportional appearance.

About Male Breast Reduction

Paul Wilson is a leading specialist in male breast reduction, offering personalised care to help male patients achieve their desired result. With years of experience in body contouring procedures, Mr Wilson uses advanced techniques such as liposuction and excision to ensure precise, natural-looking outcomes. He tailors each treatment plan to your unique anatomy and goals, addressing individual concerns with expertise and care.

Patients come to Mr Wilson as he’s known for his commitment to excellence, meticulous attention to detail, and emphasis on patient safety. His supportive patient-focused approach ensures a smooth surgical experience and long-lasting results. If you’re seeking to restore confidence and achieve a more defined chest, Mr Wilson’s expertise in gynaecomastia surgery makes him the ideal choice for your transformation.

Gynaecomastia can affect one or both sides of the chest. Mr Wilson customises every male breast reduction procedure to address your specific needs and achieve natural-looking results. Surgery involves one or a combination of techniques.

Liposuction may be used for patients with excess fatty tissue and good skin elasticity and is often an effective way to sculpt the chest. With this technique, small incisions are made, typically around the areola (the area of darkened skin that surrounds the nipple) or along the chest crease, through which a thin cannula is inserted. Using a vacuum device, excess fat is removed, creating a smoother, more defined chest area. If glandular tissue and excess skin are present, excision techniques are used. This involves making an incision, often around the areola or in a discreet location, to remove the glandular tissue. In cases where significant sagging is present, additional skin removal may be necessary for optimal results.

Many patients benefit from a combination of techniques to address both fat and glandular tissue. This approach allows for precise contouring and a more harmonious chest appearance.

Mr Wilson takes great care to minimise visible scarring by placing incisions in natural folds or along the edge of the areola. After removing excess tissue, the incisions are closed with fine sutures, and a compression garment is applied to support healing.

Mr Wilson recognises that your chest anatomy and gynaecomastia severity are unique to you. During the consultation he carefully evaluates factors such as composition of excess tissue (fat vs. glandular), skin elasticity, and your expected outcome. This personalised approach ensures that your male breast reduction surgery is specifically designed to achieve the best possible outcome. Whether the goal is to eliminate excess fat or address significant enlargement with skin laxity, Mr Wilson tailors the surgical plan accordingly.

Benefits

Male breast reduction offers a range of physical, emotional, and psychological benefits, including:

  • A flatter, firmer chest contour that aligns with a more masculine appearance.
  • Improved self-confidence by eliminating the embarrassment or discomfort caused by gynaecomastia.
  • Enhanced physical comfort, particularly during activities such as exercise or wearing fitted clothing.
  • Permanent results when combined with a healthy lifestyle, as the removed tissue is less likely to return.

Post-Operative Recovery

The recovery process after male breast reduction surgery is straightforward, with most patients experiencing manageable discomfort and quick healing. Immediately after the procedure you will be fitted with a compression garment to reduce swelling and support the chest as it heals. Mild soreness and bruising are to be expected and is managed with pain relieving medication. Mr Wilson will provide instructions on caring for the incisions to promote healing and minimise scarring.

You may be able to resume light activities 2 weeks following surgery, including returning to work if it doesn’t involve strenuous physical exertion. Swelling and bruising will continue to improve, and a follow-up appointment with Mr Wilson will ensure proper healing. By 4-6 weeks post-surgery, most swelling has subsided, and you may find you can resume more rigorous activities, including exercise. The chest begins to take on its final contour, with results becoming more apparent. The final outcome is usually fully visible around 3-6 months after the procedure, as swelling resolves, scars fade, and the chest achieves its final shape. At this point you may confidently enjoy a more masculine, sculpted appearance.

FAQ

Male breast reduction surgery is generally safe when performed by a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon like Mr Paul Wilson. As with any surgical procedure, there are risks, such as infection, adverse scarring, or changes in sensation. However, Mr Wilson uses current techniques and prioritises patient safety to minimise these risks. A thorough consultation and pre-operative assessment ensure you’re an appropriate candidate for the procedure. By following Mr Wilson’s aftercare instructions and attending follow-up appointments, you can expect a safe, smooth recovery and excellent long-term results.

After male breast reduction surgery, you’ll need to follow specific aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing. This includes wearing a compression garment to minimise swelling, avoid strenuous activities for 4-6 weeks, and caring for incisions to prevent infection. Mr Wilson will provide detailed guidance on scar care, including keeping incisions clean and dry and using recommended creams or treatments to minimise scarring. Regular follow-up appointments with Mr Wilson ensure your recovery is progressing smoothly, and any concerns are addressed promptly, ensuring optimal results.

Most patients can resume driving about 1-2 weeks after male breast reduction surgery. You should wait until you’re no longer taking prescription pain medications and can move your arms and chest comfortably without restriction. Mr Wilson will evaluate your progress during follow-up appointments and give you personalised guidance on when it’s safe to return to driving. Before getting behind the wheel, ensure you can perform necessary movements, like turning the steering wheel and checking blind spots, without discomfort or strain.

A compression garment is typically worn for around 4-6 weeks after male breast reduction surgery. This garment helps reduce swelling, supports the healing tissues, and encourages the chest to settle into its new contour. Mr Wilson will provide specific instructions on when and how long to wear the garment each day. Consistent use during the initial recovery period is essential for achieving optimal results. As healing progresses, you may gradually reduce the time spent wearing the garment, based on Mr Wilson’s recommendations.

Common side effects of male breast reduction surgery include swelling, bruising, mild discomfort, and temporary changes in chest sensation. These typically subside within a few weeks as you heal. Scarring is a possibility, but Mr Wilson uses advanced techniques to minimise visible scars and provides guidance on scar care. Rare complications may include infection, asymmetry, or fluid buildup, but these are minimised through Mr Wilson’s meticulous surgical methods and comprehensive aftercare instructions. Regular follow-ups ensure any concerns are addressed promptly, allowing you to enjoy long-lasting, confident results.
