What does gynaecomastia correction surgery involve?

Gynaecomastia correction takes around two hours to complete under general anaesthesia. Surgery can be performed using liposuction — where a thin cannula removes excess fat through small incisions — or excision, where Dr Norris makes a small incision around the areola to remove excess glandular tissue directly. The technique used depends on whether the enlargement is primarily fatty or glandular tissue.

What are the grades of gynaecomastia shown in the gallery?

The Form & Face male breast reduction gallery includes both Grade 1 and Grade 2 gynaecomastia cases. Grade 1 refers to a minor enlargement with no excess skin, while Grade 2 involves moderate enlargement. Post-operative photos are shown at intervals of 4 months through to 15 months, demonstrating long-term results.

What can I expect after gynaecomastia surgery?

Dr Norris will apply dressings to incisions after surgery. A small drain may be placed under the skin to remove excess blood or fluid in the days following the procedure. Patients are required to wear a compression garment to support healing. Most patients can return to normal activities, except strenuous exercise, within two weeks.

Male Breast Reduction (Gynaecomastia Correction) Before and After Photos

Gynaecomastia is a condition of overdeveloped or enlarged breasts in men. A male breast reduction can address this condition by removing excess breast tissue and skin.

The Gynaecomastia Procedure

A gynaecomastia correction takes around two hours to complete and is performed under general anaesthesia. Gynaecomastia surgery can be performed using one of two different techniques: liposuction or excision.

The liposuction technique involves inserting a cannula, a thin, hollow tube, through several small incisions. The cannula is moved back and forth in a controlled motion to loosen and remove the excess fat from the body through vacuum suction.

With the excision technique, Dr Norris will make a small incision around the areola to remove excess tissue rather than suctioning it out.

Suitable Candidates for Gynaecomastia Correction

At Form and Face Clinic in Sydney, the first step to determining candidacy for gynaecomastia correction is to have a consultation with Dr Norris. Suitable candidates have:

Unsuccessful results from alternative medical treatments aimed at addressing the condition
Physical discomfort attributed to breast size
Stabilised breast development, indicating no recent changes in size or shape
Good overall physical health
Realistic anticipations regarding the surgical outcome

What to Expect After Gynaecomastia Surgery

Dr Norris will apply dressings or bandages to your incisions after surgery. A small, thin tube may also be placed under the skin to drain any excess blood or fluid in the days after the procedure. You will also need to wear a compression garment to help support the breasts as they heal.

Following gynaecomastia surgery, you will need to take some time off work to rest. However, most patients are able to return to all normal activities, with the exception of strenuous exercise, within two weeks.
