Excess chest tissue or nipple / areolar puffiness (Gynaecomastia) is a common condition in men causing a great deal of embarrassment and confidence issues. Many patients report that they will not expose their chests, sometimes even to those close to them and may try to disguise the problems with certain clothing choices (even in warm conditions). It can affect relationships, exercising in the gym, occupation, clothing and confidence in general. The male chest is composed of three tissue types that may be in excess: glandular tissue, fatty tissue and skin. Excess of these tissue types or disproportion can commonly have no cause, but can be due to weight changes, aging and rarely medical conditions / medications.
Male chest reduction is a procedure to contour the male chest using an individual tailored approach as per your anatomy / tissue excesses. It commonly uses a combination of either liposuction and open glandular excision / reduction. It aims to restore a more proportionate, masculine, flatter, firmer, contoured chest shape – helping to improve confidence and the psychological and social impact it has on individuals.
