What is gynaecomastia?

Gynaecomastia or Gynecomastia is more commonly known as man boobs – affects around 30% of adult men in the UK and is caused when excess fat develops in a man’s breast area which can result in an enlarged breast appearing and/or puffy nipples or pointed nipples.

Many young individuals develop using drugs for bodybuilding in the gym and some require male breast reduction after weight loss. The Clinic offers a range of male breast reduction treatments including gynecomastia surgery to help reduce excess fat on the male chest. These include both non-invasive – VASER Liposuction, MicroLipo and Surgical Liposuction.

Each patient has to be evaluated individually to see what’s best for him; his history has to be evaluated and an ultrasound scan should be in certain cases to rule out any lumps or malignancies which, although extremely rare, can still occur even in male breast tissue.

Massive weight loss patients may require a more complex procedure which is similar to a female breast reduction with skin incisions and scars.
