Chest Reduction for men (gynaecomastia)

What is it?

The term "gynaecomastia" is used to indicate the presence of a mammary gland unusually developed in males. Men can also find an excess of fat in their chest area which can be the source of embarrassment and discomfort.

How is it done?

The treatment of gynaecomastia is usually surgical and is based on the removal of the mammary tissue, the adipose tissue and, sometimes, the excess skin. Through this kind of surgery, it is possible to give the thorax a toned and natural appearance. The operation takes 1 – 2 hours and is usually performed under general anesthetic.

Recovery

Immediately after the operation, you will be required to wear a small bandage across the chest area and rest in bed for 48 hours. After 7 – 10 days you will be able to return to work and two weeks after the operation you can resume normal life including sporting activities.
