Male Breast Reduction – Gynaecomastia

Gynaecomastia refers to the condition in which male breast tissue is more substantial than desired. This results from many different factors, but can be treated surgically. Planning Your Gynaecomastia Surgery Your Gynaecomastia Consultation During a surgical consultation, a careful medical history is obtained to look for potential causes of this condition. If no reversible medical condition is found, surgical correction may be suggested. Your Gynaecomastia Surgery Surgical correction involves a small incision around the lower half of the areola. In order to maintain blood-flow and preserve sensation in the nipple and areola, they remain attached to the pectoral by a thin stalk of tissue throughout this process. This is followed by a combination of liposuction and direct excision to achieve a natural chest contour, after which the incisions are sutured. The stitches are usually located around the lower half of the areola. The procedure takes one to four hours, depending on the complexity of the case.
