About this procedure
Addressing female-pattern breast enlargement in men, arising from an increase in glandular or fatty tissue.
Surgical approach and technique
Liposuction is sufficient where the enlargement is mostly fat; where dense firm gland is present, excision of the gland through a small incision is combined with it.
Who is it for?
Suitable for male patients troubled by enlargement in the breast area.
Recovery
Work can be resumed within 3-5 days. A compression garment is advised for three to four weeks.
Back to desk work: approx. 5 days. Social recovery: approx. 14 days. Depending on the scope of surgery you should plan for between 6 and 12 nights. The exact figure is confirmed in writing with your treatment plan.

Frequently asked questions
Does it recur after surgery?
The glandular and fatty tissue is removed, so it does not recur in the absence of substantial weight gain or hormonal medication.
