What the surgery involves
Gynaecomastia surgery combines liposuction of excess fat with direct excision of glandular breast tissue through a small incision, usually at the edge of the areola, for a flatter, masculine contour.
Who it suits
It suits men with persistent breast tissue that hasn't responded to weight loss or exercise. Your surgeon will assess whether the cause is glandular, fatty, or both, which guides the technique.
Recovery
A compression vest is worn for four to six weeks to support healing and reduce swelling. Most men return to desk work within a week and to the gym after about six weeks.

How much does gynaecomastia surgery cost in London?
Gynaecomastia surgery at Minor Surgery UK starts from £6,300 all-inclusive, confirmed at consultation.
How long does gynaecomastia surgery take?

Will the chest tissue come back?
Once the glandular tissue is removed it does not regrow, though significant weight gain or certain medications can affect the chest, so a stable weight maintains the result.

Will there be visible scars?
Incisions are small and usually placed at the edge of the areola, so scars are discreet and fade over time.
