TREATMENT

MALE BREAST REDUCTION


Gynaecomastia is a very common condition that refers to excess breast tissue or breast swelling in men. This concern is also known as ‘man boobs’ or ‘moobs’ and can cause a man to feel self conscious about his physique, specifically the appearance of his chest. At The REAL Clinic we perform a lot of male reduction surgeries, and can help you achieve a more proportionate, defined chest.

Male breasts can occur for many reasons including; excess fat, breast tissue or because of hormonal changes. That said, in most cases the underlying cause is unknown. Thankfully male breast reduction can help. This procedure can be performed by way of liposuction (when the swelling of the breast is largely due to excess fat deposits), by way of surgical excision (when glandular development has occurred) or even a combination of both. The appropriate technique will be decided following a pre-operative assessment, during which we will discuss your concerns as well your desired outcome.


At The REAL Clinic, male breast reduction surgery is carried out under general anaesthetic. We use total intravenous anaesthesia as it has greater potential benefits compared to other forms of anaesthesia. Intravenous anaesthesia is more rapid in onset, and elimination which allows for speedier recovery. Further benefits include; increased haemodynamic stability (stabilised blood flow), decreased risk of organ toxicity, decrease in surgical haemostasis (bleeding), reduced risk of postoperative nausea and vomiting, and improved, more predictable recovery.
