Gynaecomastia surgery removes excess glandular tissue, fat and, where necessary, loose skin from the male chest to produce a flatter, more masculine chesr. Mild cases may be treated with liposuction alone through small stab incisions, while cases with significant breast tissue require direct excision via a small peri-areolar (around the nipple) incision, often combined with liposuction. Severe or post-weight-loss cases may need skin excision and nipple repositioning for the best result.
