What is Male Chest Reduction?

Male chest reduction, or gynaecomastia surgery, is a procedure that removes excess fat, glandular tissue, and skin to create a firmer, more contoured chest.

Gynaecomastia (commonly referred to as ‘man boobs’) is a common condition affecting men of all ages. It can be caused by hormonal imbalances, genetics, weight fluctuations, or certain medications.

This procedure is ideal for men looking to regain confidence, improve chest shape, and feel more comfortable in fitted clothing or bare-chested.

What Happens During Surgery?

The surgery begins with the administration of local anaesthesia or light sedation to ensure you are comfortable. Depending on the amount of tissue to be removed, small incisions are made around the areola or in less visible areas to minimise scarring.

Excess fat can be removed through liposuction, while any excess glandular tissue or skin is surgically excised. The result is a flatter, more defined chest that enhances your overall body proportions.

After the procedure, a compression garment is typically worn to help the chest heal and to support the new shape.

Is Male Chest Reduction Right for You?

This procedure might be ideal if you:

  •  Feel self-conscious about your chest shape
  • Experience puffiness or swelling in your chest area
  • Have tried diet and exercise but still have excess tissue
  • Want to achieve a flatter, firmer chest

A consultation with one of our specialists will determine the best approach for your body and goals.

  • Flattens and sculpts the chest
  • Boosts self-confidence in and out of clothing
  • Long-lasting results with a healthy lifestyle
  • Minimal scarring with advanced techniques
  • Improves posture and comfort

As with any procedure, male chest reduction carries some minor risks, including:

  • Temporary swelling or bruising
  • Scarring (which fades over time)
  • Nipple sensitivity changes (temporary or permanent)

Your surgeon will explain how to minimise risks and ensure the best outcome.
