A CONVERSATION COMES FIRST

What does the assessment consider?

Enlargement of the male breast area may involve glandular tissue, fat or excess skin. Appearance alone does not determine the plan. Assessment allows discussion of possible causes, available options and whether surgery is appropriate.

An approach to fit the details.

Your goals and individual assessment guide the plan.

  • Assessment of male breast enlargement and the tissue involved.

  • Surgical correction of gynecomastia following individual assessment.

SELECTED RESULTS

The difference is in the details.

Individual results vary.

How to read clinical photographs

Make an informed decision.

Could this be right for you?

  • Surgery may be discussed when appropriate medical treatment of the cause is insufficient.
  • Stable breast development, health and weight are considered, particularly for adolescents.

Risks and limits

Examples for discussion, not a complete list. Risks depend on the procedure and your health. Discuss your individual risks and alternatives, including no treatment.

  • Bleeding, fluid collection or infection.
  • Chest asymmetry or contour irregularities.
  • Temporary or permanent changes in nipple or chest sensation.
  • Scars, impaired healing or revision surgery; blood-clot and anaesthetic risks also apply.

Care continues after your procedure.

Recovery and follow-up

  1. A support garment, dressings or temporary drains may be used; care varies with the plan.

  2. Discuss return to exercise, weight stability and medicines that may relate to gynecomastia; do not change prescribed medicine yourself.

This information helps you prepare for a consultation. It does not determine suitability or replace a medical examination.

Room for your questions.

You do not need to have made a decision before your consultation.

Questions worth asking

  • What tissue is involved?
  • Do I need further assessment of the cause?
  • Does excess skin require a different approach?

Frequently asked questions

Can every enlarged chest be treated with liposuction?

No. Treatment depends on the tissue involved and medical assessment.

Are results guaranteed or identical to the photographs?

No result is guaranteed. Anatomy and healing vary from person to person. Case photographs and simulations are not a promise of your outcome.

What about recovery and returning to work?

This depends on the procedure, your health and your work. Discuss expected downtime, restrictions, follow-up and when to seek urgent advice before scheduling treatment.
