How Gynaecomastia Surgery Can Help

Breast development tends to take the form of a softer area of fatty tissue overlying the pectoral muscle, as well as a thicker area of fibrous breast tissue behind the nipple. Treating this issue will depend on its severity. Until recently, all male breast reduction surgery was carried out under general anaesthesia in a hospital with a one or two-night stay.

However, at Elanic cosmetic clinic we have invested in some of the most advanced equipment available. We’re the only clinic in Scotland to offer Smart Liposuction with Triplex. This advanced technology gives us the ability to complete your procedure quickly and easily and enables you to return home the very same day.

Smart Lipo Triplex technology has positively revolutionised this treatment, with a treatment time that remains under two hours, using local anaesthetic and leaving minimal scarring. SmartLipo also promotes the tightening of the skin to provide you with a smoother, flatter chest.

Recovery After Your Male Breast Reduction Surgery

Taking Time Off

We recommend that most patients plan to take at least two weeks off from work and all strenuous activities. You’ll also need someone to pick you up from the clinic and drive you home, as your anaesthesia will still be wearing off.

Swelling and Bruising

As with all surgical procedures, there will be a certain amount of bruising and swelling, which will subside in the days following your procedure. You may be required to wear a compression garment to help your healing and to provide the best possible results.

Returning to Normal

You should be back to your normal activities within four weeks and may resume strenuous activity and exercise within six weeks. We’ll schedule follow-up appointments, giving us the chance to ensure that you’re healing properly.

Pricing Your Gynaecomastia Surgery

Prices for male breast reduction in Glasgow typically start at around £4395, but the exact price of your procedure will always depend on your individual circumstances.

Male Breast Reduction FAQ's

What is male breast reduction surgery?

Male breast reduction surgery, also known as gynaecomastia surgery, is a procedure designed to reduce enlarged male breasts by removing excess breast tissue, fatty tissue, or both. The goal is to create a flatter, firmer, and more defined chest appearance.

What causes gynaecomastia in men?

Gynaecomastia can develop due to several factors, including hormonal changes, weight fluctuations, certain medications, alcohol use, liver or thyroid conditions, and other underlying health issues. In many cases, there is no identifiable cause.

Who is a suitable candidate for male breast reduction?

Good candidates are men who are bothered by enlarged breast tissue that has not improved through diet and exercise, are in good overall health, and have realistic expectations about the results of surgery. A consultation with a specialist surgeon will determine the most suitable treatment approach.

How is male breast reduction surgery performed?

The procedure depends on the type and severity of gynaecomastia. Treatment may involve liposuction to remove excess fat, surgical removal of glandular tissue, or a combination of techniques to achieve a smoother chest contour.

What are the benefits of male breast reduction?

Male breast reduction can help create a flatter, more masculine chest shape, improve body confidence, reduce discomfort caused by excess tissue, and provide long-lasting results when combined with a healthy lifestyle.

Is male breast reduction surgery performed under local anaesthetic?

At Elanic, advanced techniques including SmartLipo Triplex technology may allow certain male breast reduction procedures to be performed using local anaesthetic with the option of sedation. Your surgeon will recommend the most appropriate approach based on your needs.

How long does recovery take after gynaecomastia surgery?

Most patients require around two weeks away from work and strenuous activities. Swelling and bruising are expected after surgery, and many patients can return to normal activities within approximately four weeks, with exercise usually resumed after around six weeks.

Will male breast reduction leave visible scars?

Male breast reduction techniques are designed to minimise scarring. The location and appearance of any scars will depend on the amount of tissue removed and the surgical method used, and your surgeon will discuss this during your consultation.

Can gynaecomastia return after male breast reduction surgery?

Male breast reduction provides long-lasting results by removing excess tissue. However, significant weight changes, hormonal changes, or certain medical conditions may affect the appearance of the chest in the future.
