This occurs when there is more oestrogen than the production of testosterone in the male body. Here at Harley Street Skin Clinic, we want to help you improve your overall physique and bring back the confidence within you through gynaecomastia surgery.
Let’s understand how this plastic surgery works.
Improved overall physique and confidence.
How does it work?
Gynaecomastia surgery is a male breast reduction designed in addressing enlargement of male breasts. It is a surgical procedure that is typically performed under general anaesthetic. Good thing that here in London, breast reduction surgery is widely available through invasive and non-invasive treatment depending on the severity of male breasts.
Some causes of gynaecomastia are excess breast tissue, existing medical conditions, unhealthy lifestyle, and hormonal imbalance that normally occur during the puberty stage. There are also cases like when the patient is a bodybuilder who takes anabolic steroids, he is in high risk of developing gynaecomastia over time. That's why it is highly recommended for a male individual patient to set an initial appointment with a gynaecomastia surgeons to further assess the patient's condition and recommend which type of treatment is necessary.
The Benefits of a Male Breast Reduction
Hormone Therapy
Reduces excess breast tissue
Hormone Therapy involves medications that are designed in correcting hormonal imbalance of the male body. This is the recommended treatment for patients whose gynaecomastia is due to more oestrogen levels. For most patients, medication and therapy can go hand in hand to correct the hormonal imbalance.
Downtime: Minimal to none, may require regular check-ups
Best for: People who have more oestrogen
Lifestyle Change
Reduce breast size through diet
The patient’s daily lifestyle plays a vital role in his overall condition especially if he is gaining excessive weight that can affect his body parts. Change of lifestyle like the patient should stop smoking and have a proper diet along with regular exercise can help in addressing gynaecomastia.
Downtime: None, consistent exercise and proper diet is needed
Best for: People who are overweight and have a poor lifestyle
Medical Treatment
Reduction of excess tissue
This is a non-invasive procedure called Cryolipolysis or also known as fat freezing. It involves destroying fat cells in the chest area by cooling them. It is highly recommended for patients who want a non-surgical treatment to get rid of fats in their chest area.
Downtime: Minimal to none, but might experience slight discomfort after a couple of days
Best for: People who want to have a non-surgical treatment targeted to their chest area
Compression Vest
Provides immediate solution for physical appearance
It is one of the easiest and most recommended ways to reduce fat in the chest area. By using compression garments like a compression vest, it provides a temporary solution by compressing the chest area to make it look flat physically. This is an immediate solution; however, it's not permanent, and patients will still need to undergo surgery for long-term results.
Downtime: None, can be worn daily
Best for: People who want immediate results without surgery
Surgical Excision (Mastectomy)
Permanently removes excess glandular tissue and/or skin
It is a cosmetic surgery that permanently removes excess tissue in the chest area. Your gynaecomastia surgeon will make a small incision around the areola and proceed to remove all the excess skin. This kind of cosmetic surgery, done by a plastic surgeon, is the most common effective treatment in treating severe cases of gynaecomastia. It gives permanent results like a contoured chest and improved overall body physique.
Downtime: 1 to 2 weeks
Best for: People who want a permanently contoured breast area
Liposuction
Permanently removes excess fatty tissue
It is an invasive gynaecomastia surgery that involves the use of a cannula to suction out excess fat from the chest area. It is a kind of breast surgery wherein there is a large amount of excess fat surrounding the tissue. Liposuction is recommended for patients with excess fatty tissue that contributes to the enlargement of man boobs.
Downtime: 2 to 4 weeks but the recovery time may take a few more weeks
Best for: People who have mixed gynaecomastia

The remarkable difference a Harley Street Skin Clinic treatment can provide
In essence, BodyTite™ is a form of radio frequency assisted liposuction. It involves melting down the fat into liquid form and removing it via cannula - a method far less traumatic to the body than traditional fat removal. This means that post-procedure pain, discomfort and swelling are practically null, and results are not only precise but virtually scar-free.
This method also has the added benefit of stimulating collagen production at the same time. This means that it doesn't just remove the fat - it helps to contour and tighten the skin on the chest at the same time, for a much neater finish.
BodyTite™ is the most advanced fat removal and skin tightening procedure on the cosmetic circuit right now. Otherwise known as Laser Lipo, BodyTite™ uses radiofrequency to effectively treat stubborn fat in areas such as the stomach, thighs, buttocks, arms, hips, neck and knees.
When applied to the chest, BodyTite™ makes light work of removing breast tissue beneath the surface, and leaving the area taut, firm and natural in appearance. Not only that, but BodyTite™ procedures require very little surgical downtime, so enable patients to be back on their feet in no time.
Offering incredible results with minimal recovery time, no need to worry about lengthy hospital stays or even general anaesthesia. Making use of state of the art cosmetic fat removal, Male Breast Reductions make only cannula-sized incisions that heal beautifully, and leave next to no scarring.
Pre-procedure Essentials
What do you need to do before the treatment?
You need to choose a reputable clinic and expert gynaecomastia surgeons who will perform the procedure. They will assess your skin condition as well as which surgical technique is best for you.
