If you’ve never heard of or were unaware that there is an effective procedure for its correction, then we thought the best solution was to you with a comprehensive of this condition and its treatment.

At Centre for Surgery, our plastic surgeons have been carrying out for several years now, and we carry out quite a lot of these types of male breast reduction procedures.

What is Gynecomastia?

Gynecomastia is a condition of the breast that affects a significant number of men. It has been estimated that between 40 to 60% of men will develop a degree of gynecomastia at some point in their lifetime. Gynecomastia refers to when the breast tissue becomes overdeveloped in some way and for which there is no known cause. Gynecomastia itself is not thought to be linked with being overweight or having a hormonal imbalance.

Many men have discovered that a good diet and regular exercise do not cure gynecomastia. In many cases, more vigorous exercise and muscle building make the condition even more obvious, as the underlying pectoral muscle bulk causes the excess breast tissue to appear even bigger than usual.

From our experience, gynaecomastia can have a major impact on men’s lives. Our surgeons have met men whose condition has socially crippled them with an inability to expose their chest and therefore be unable to go on sunny beach holidays. They will often wear loose-fitting clothing to avoid the chest more prominent, which can have a major impact on personal relationships.

Fortunately, surgery is the most effective treatment for gynecomastia. No known non-surgical treatments have been proven effective.

What causes gynecomastia?

Gynaecomastia is a condition characterised by the enlargement of male breast tissue, leading to a feminised chest appearance. Several factors contribute to the development of this condition. Understanding these triggers can provide a broader perspective on gynaecomastia and aid in formulating an effective plan.

One of the causes of gynaecomastia is hormonal imbalance. Hormones like androgens and oestrogen dictate the development of secondary sexual characteristics in males and females. Typically, men have higher androgen levels and lower oestrogen levels. However, if the balance skews towards more oestrogen and less androgen, this can lead to the growth of breast tissue.

This hormonal flux can occur naturally during life stages such as puberty or old age. However, conditions like obesity can exacerbate these hormonal shifts. Excess body fat can contribute to higher oestrogen levels, subsequently leading to enlarged breast tissue.

Various health conditions can potentially trigger gynecomastia. These include:

Certain medications may also contribute to gynecomastia. These include antibiotics, heart medications, AIDS medications, anti-androgens, antidepressants, Polynucleotide Hair Rejuvenation and ulcer medications. Anabolic steroids, commonly used by athletes and bodybuilders, can also lead to breast enlargement in males. If you’re on any of these medications and experience changes in breast size, it’s crucial to consult your medical team immediately.

In addition to prescribed medications, substance abuse can also lead to gynecomastia. Alcohol and narcotics can disrupt hormonal balance and contribute to the development of male breasts.

What is the best technique for gynecomastia surgery?

The traditional method for removing excess male breast tissue involved making a large incision across the whole chest. Unfortunately, the scar that was left after surgery often compounded the original problem, leading to a reduction in body confidence, with many men being unable to remove their shirts on the beach.

Over time and with advances in plastic surgery techniques, our surgeons are experts in invasive approaches to treating . Our surgeons’ current techniques visible scarring and provide more results. Often, the tiny incisions that are used are on the side of the chest and around half of the nipple and are barely visible over time. The treatment principle for gynecomastia involves a combination of and gland excision for full correction. The surgeon can remove the extra glandular tissue directly under direct vision through a tiny peri-areolar incision. Long-term results often give rise to a natural-looking appearance that is not overdone and often without any signs of surgery.

for gynecomastia is a highly satisfying procedure for our plastic surgeons, as the treatment really can transform men’s lives. Our surgeons are at the forefront of pioneering new and less invasive techniques for gynaecomastia and were one of the first clinics in London to use for minimally invasive skin of the male chest. Our surgeons regularly share their skills and experience with visiting surgeons from all over the world as well as presenting their research at international conferences on the latest surgical techniques for gynecomastia.
