BREAST PROCEDURES
ABOUT
MALE BREAST REDUCTION
Male breast reduction, or gynaecomastia surgery, is a procedure designed to remove excess breast tissue and fat to create a flatter, more masculine chest contour.
This procedure effectively addresses enlarged breasts in men, helping to restore a more defined and balanced chest appearance.
The results can enhance overall body proportions, allowing for increased confidence in clothing and physical activities.
A STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE
THE MALE BREAST REDUCTION
PROCEDURE EXPLAINED
On the day of your surgery, you will check in at the surgical facility, where the admission process for your procedure will begin.
Here’s what you can expect:
ADMISSION
Upon arrival, you'll be greeted, admitted, and undergo a pre-operative assessment by clinic staff and your anaesthetist to ensure you are prepared for your procedure.
PREPARATION
After changing into surgical attire, the nurses will accompany you to the operating theatre, where the anaesthetist will administer anaesthesia to ensure your comfort during the procedure.
TISSUE REMOVAL
Dr Frank will make a small incision in a discreet area of the chest, depending on your anatomy and the extent of tissue removal needed. He will then surgically remove excess tissue and fat.
ADDITIONAL FAT REDUCTION
In cases where additional fat reduction is required, liposuction may also be performed to further contour the chest for a smoother, more defined result.
AFTERCARE
Following your procedure, you’ll be monitored in a recovery ward until you are ready for discharge. Depending on your needs, an overnight stay can be arranged for added comfort.
BENEFITS OF
MALE BREAST REDUCTION
FLATTENED
CHEST PROFILE
Male breast reduction removes excess tissue and fat, resulting in a flatter, more masculine chest profile.
AS WELL AS
BETTER PHYSICAL
COMFORT
Removing the excess tissue alleviates physical discomfort, such as chafing or tenderness, that can occur due to the enlarged breasts.
ENHANCED
BODY IMAGE
The surgery allows for a more sculpted appearance, which leads to an improved body image and a boost in self-confidence.
IMPROVED POSTURE AND
EASE OF MOVEMENT
A flatter chest can help improve posture and make physical activities more comfortable, reducing the self-consciousness often experienced when exercising.

WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER
MALE BREAST REDUCTION
RECOVERY
Following surgery, patients are advised to follow their personalised recovery guidelines from Dr Frank to ensure a smooth postoperative journey.
EXPECT SWELLING
AND TIGHTNESS
Some swelling and a sensation of tightness in the chest are normal after surgery. These symptoms will gradually improve over the following weeks as healing progresses.
AVOID UPPER
BODY EXERCISE
Strenuous upper body activities, including heavy lifting and vigorous workouts, should be avoided for at least 4-6 weeks to allow for proper healing.
MANAGING
DISCOMFORT
It’s common to experience some discomfort and bruising in the chest area post-surgery. Dr Frank will prescribe pain management strategies to help alleviate any discomfort during the first few days of recovery.
FOLLOW INCISION
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Proper care of the incision sites is essential to minimise scarring. Dr Frank will provide detailed post-operative instructions, including wound care and follow-up appointments to monitor healing.
