GYNECOMASTIA

Gynaecomastia surgery, also known as a male breast reduction, may remove excess fatty tissue, breast tissue and excess skin from a man’s chest. The surgical technique depends on the degree of excess breast tissue a patient has.

For some men with minor gynecomastia, liposuction to remove excess tissue may be enough to achieve their desired results. Liposuction involves tiny incisions, approximately 1 cm long, that becomes easily concealable after surgery.

In cases where it is necessary to remove the glandular component of the breast, an incision will be made just under the areola to access the tissue behind the nipple. In more severe cases of gynecomastia, it may be necessary to remove excess skin as well. The required incision lines will be discussed during your consultation with Dr. Sarah and Vanessa Wong.
