WHAT IS GYNECOMASTIA?
Male breast reduction, also known as gynecomastia, involves the surgical correction of over-developed and enlarged breasts in men. This is a common condition that affects men of all ages and can be the result of a variety of causes, including hormonal changes, disease, hereditary conditions, or the use of certain medications.
We know that, while this condition is entirely normal, it can have negative impacts on the emotions and self-esteem, even causing some men to avoid physical activities and intimacy. As a result, we offer a specialised, safe gynecomastia treatment sure to help you restore your self-confidence.
There are two common techniques:
-
Liposuction: Removes excess fat using a small tube and suction.
-
Excision: Removes glandular tissue and excess skin, often used for severe cases or when the nipple needs repositioning.
Key Details:

Surgery Time: 1–2 hours.
-

It’s a common and safe procedure when performed by a qualified surgeon.
