Best treatment for Gynaecomastia

Several options are available for treating gynaecomastia. Male chest reduction in the form of minimally invasive liposuction or surgery is a popular option and there are various techniques that can be used, depending on your requirements.

In an attempt to minimise scarring, male breast liposuction is the preferred male chest reduction surgical technique for most pseudo gynecomastia cases (build of excess fat in the chest) cases and many cases of pure gynaecomastia (excess glandular tissue within the chest).

Micro Liposuction, Vaser Liposuction – both being walk-in-walk-out procedures, and Surgical Liposuction are liposuction options used, with the chosen method being dependent on the severity of the case.

In some cases, the glandular tissue is too dense and fibrous and difficult to extract using Micro Liposuction alone and Vaser Liposuction may be more appropriate. If there is a significant amount of fat for extraction, surgical liposuction may be recommended, which is more invasive than the preceding options.

However, more persistent, pure glandular gynaecomastia cases could be appropriate for an open mastectomy using a periareolar incision (skin incision to surgically remove excessive glandular tissue). And finally, for treating very bulky gynaecomastia, a more complex procedure called Inferior Pedicle Breast Reduction could be required, within which the breast tissue and skin envelope are both reduced.

For some patients, liposuction can first of all be used, followed 6-9 months later by an excisional procedure, if excess breast tissue or skin continues.

Each patient must be evaluated to find out what is best for them; the surgeon will discuss their medical history and an ultrasound scan undertaken in certain cases in order to rule out malignancies or lumps which, although very rare, can still arise even in male chest tissue.
