Breast reduction for men

Natural results for a boost in your confidence

As a man, do you have too much breast tissue and does this make you insecure? Know that you are not alone. The condition gynecomastia is very common. If we look at the numbers, between 40 and 60 percent of men have this condition which causes their breast tissue to grow bigger. This can result in buying oversized shirts, feeling self-conscious and insecure, and perhaps avoiding situations where the upper body is visible. Every man experiences this differently, although the impact gynecomastia has on life is probably the same. We speak of gynecomastia when the breasts swell and become larger due to the mammary gland or fat. The breast consists of glandular tissue that is firm and thick, and fatty tissue that is soft. The ratio varies from person to person and also from breast to breast.

You may also have too much of both types of tissue. There is also a solution for this for men, called a breast reduction (Gynecomastia surgery).

What happens during a breast reduction for men?

There are several techniques that can be used in gynecomastia surgery. Our surgeon will discuss the type of surgery based on the underlying reason and desired outcome. These techniques can also be combined if necessary. Below is a brief overview:

Removal of fatty tissue
Liposuction can remove excess fatty tissue. This is done by inserting a tube through a 3-to-5- millimeter incision. After liposuction, the skin forms to the new contours of the treated areas. The resulting contour changes are generally permanent, as long as the weight remains stable.

Removal of glandular tissue
Excess glandular tissue around the areola and from the sides and bottom of the breast is removed. This will normally leave a scar around the edge of the nipple.

Excess skin removal
In some cases, the skin may not adjust well to the new, smaller breast circumference. Especially when a large amount of fat or glandular tissue has been removed. In this case, the surgeon will remove excess skin and tighten it.

Aftercare for Gynecomastia surgery

The aftercare after surgery is very important and is of your own importance. Although, fortunately, the list for Gynecomastia treatment is not too bad. Here are the most important points:

After the surgery, it is important that you refrain from heavy household chores/physical activities until the surgeon gives the green light.
You will be given a medical compression suit to wear day and night.
The treated area may feel somewhat warm and swollen, you may cool this down by placing a cold compression on the compression suit every now and then.
Of course, no alcohol for a while during the first period until the doctor indicates that this is allowed again. Don’t worry, this is not for long.

The result

The result of Gynecomastia treatment is a flatter breast and more self-confidence.

During the consultation, a number of factors are taken into account, including existing breasts (fatty and glandular), nipple position, age, skin texture, anatomy, healing properties and general health. These will influence the outcome of your gynecomastia.

Our medical team strives to deliver the most natural looking results as safely as possible.

Risks and complications

Like all surgeries, breast reduction involves risks and there is a risk of complications. The risks include:

Unsightly scarring
Bleeding (haematoma)
Infection
Poor wound healing
Changes in (the sensation of) the nipple, temporarily or permanently
Sore breasts
