Gynaecomastia refers to the enlargement of breast tissue in males. It can be associated with hormonal changes (such as during puberty), weight gain, certain medications, anabolic steroid use and some medical conditions. These potential causes should be explored before surgery is considered.
During a consultation, Dr Norris will take a medical history, examine the chest and determine whether the enlargement is due to fatty tissue, glandular tissue, or a combination of both. Depending on these findings, treatment may involve liposuction, surgical excision through a small incision at the edge of the ar**la, or a combination of techniques. In some cases, larger procedures are required if there is significant excess skin.
Male breast reduction is performed as a day procedure in accredited hospitals.
If you have any questions or would like to book a consultation, please reach out to the friendly team at Form & Face.
