Male Chest Reduction Surgery at The Hospital Group, part of Transform, which has more than 40 years’ experience. Arrange your free consultation today.
A male chest reduction, also known as gynaecomastia surgery, is a cosmetic procedure designed to reduce fatty tissue in the chest area, commonly referred to as “man boobs”. The surgery aims to contour the chest, creating a more masculine, natural appearance.
Our experienced surgeons provide three different types of chest reduction surgery. You can discuss these during your free consultation. Liposuction can be also be used, and on some occasions, skin and glandular tissue will be removed to achieve the finest result.
Gynaecomastia is an enlargement or surplus amount of breast tissue in males. Most often, it is caused by male oestrogen levels being too high, or are imbalanced with testosterone levels. Weight gain can also be a contributing factor to the size of the male chest area, which despite diet and exercise, sometimes cannot always be reduced naturally.

The results of the surgery will leave you with a flatter, firmer and more contoured chest area once the excess fat has been removed. Results are immediate and with a healthy lifestyle, can be maintained long-term.
You may find that fitted tops and shirts sit more comfortably after surgery.
All surgical procedures pose a potential risk, and it is important know what these are before you go ahead so that you can weigh them up against the benefits your procedure could bring. During your consultations you will talk through these potential complications and you can ask any questions that you have about them.
As a guide, these may include bleeding, infections, bruising, numbness and scars.
The growth in fatty tissue in the chest area can be due to gynaecomastia caused by a rise in oestrogen levels.
An imbalance in hormones can occur with weight gain and age, your surgeon may recommend weight loss; but if your larger chest is due to hormone imbalance, weight loss alone will be ineffective and surgery may be required.
A free, no-obligation consultation is the best place to start. A patient advisor will talk you through your options, the cost and your recovery.

If you would like to proceed, we will book your surgical consultation.
During this consultation you will talk about your goals for surgery and go through your medical history to ascertain whether you are a suitable candidate for this procedure. You will also discuss the results you might expect, as well as the possible risks and complications of surgery. Our specialist surgeons are extremely knowledgeable, so they can answer any questions you might have.
If you feel you would like to go ahead, you will then be referred to a clinic nurse for pre-operative assessments and tests.
You will see your surgeon on the day of your surgery so that you can talk through any final questions and read through the consent form. The whole surgical team will be introduced to you before heading into theatre for the procedure.
The specifics of the surgery will be discussed prior to the day – you will find out how long it will take, the types of anaesthetics used, and they will talk you through the procedure itself.
The surgeon will let you know whether you will need to stay in the hospital overnight. You might feel swollen and tender for a while, but this is completely normal and should settle fairly quickly. We’ll provide any pain relief you need whilst you’re in hospital.
Your nurse will call you once you get home to make sure you feel okay and book you in for your post-operative review in the clinic when needed. We’ll also give you our 24/7 patient helpline number so that you can speak to a member of the clinical team at any time.
