A well-defined chest can make a big difference in how you look and feel. For men in London dealing with gynecomastia, specialized surgery helps eliminate overdeveloped breast tissue, creating a more masculine, sculpted chest and restoring confidence. 

Around 60% of men in the UK experience gynecomastia. At the CREO Clinic, Dr. Omar Tillo, a double board-certified male body contouring specialist, has extensive experience performing gynecomastia surgery in London and across England. He combines advanced techniques with artistic skill to create natural, masculine chest contours.

If you suffer from gynecomastia or desire a more contoured chest, meet with Dr. Tillo to discuss your cosmetic concerns, desired outcome, and suitability for gynecomastia surgery.

Gynecomastia presents differently in patients and, therefore, requires a bespoke surgical approach. Depending on the requirements and anatomy of each patient, Dr. Tillo may recommend liposuction, skin tightening treatments, and excess glandular breast tissue excision, among a range of other advanced surgical techniques and procedures, for achieving the best aesthetic outcome for your body during your consultation.

Benefits of Gynecomastia Surgery

There are many functional and aesthetic benefits of gynecomastia surgery: 

• A firmer, contoured chest – By removing the breast tissue and skin, patients can enjoy a more toned and flatter chest. This can help to sculpt a more masculine aesthetic which many men desire.  
• Comfort in tight clothing – Many men with gynecomastia feel self conscious about the condition and avoid wearing form fitting clothing in order to hide their chest as a result. Following gynecomastia surgery, patients can feel more comfortable in their body to explore wearing tight clothing that accentuates the contours of their newly toned chest. 
• Easier to engage in physical activity – The enlarged breast tissue can cause pain, discomfort, and self-consciousness as it moves around when engaging in intense physical activities. Therefore, gynecomastia surgery can help men regain a healthier and more active lifestyle.
• Alleviating back pain – In more severe cases, a disproportionately larger and heavier chest can give rise to poor posture and chronic back pain, which a gynecomastia surgery can alleviate.
• Improved emotional wellbeing – Many men suffer from low self-esteem because of gynecomastia since the condition doesn’t conform to the traditional masculine figure. A gynecomastia surgery resolves these cosmetic concerns by providing patients with a flatter and sculpted chest.

How Much Does Gynecomastia Surgery Cost in the UK?

In general, the cost of gynecomastia surgery at the CREO Clinic starts from £6,500. As gynecomastia surgery is an individualised procedure, the price varies depending on the surgical needs of each patient, and will only be determined following a consultation with Dr. Tillo. 

For patients wishing to spread the cost of their treatment, the CREO Clinic is proud to partner with Chrysalis Finance to offer a range of financing options, including interest free financing for up to 12 months, and variable rates for longer repayment periods.

What To Expect From Your Gynecomastia Surgery

The surgery itself typically takes 1-3 hours and is performed under sedation, local, or general anesthesia. The procedure involves making a small incision around the nipple, where excess glandular tissue and skin are removed. If needed, liposuction can also be used to eliminate stubborn fat deposits. Once the necessary tissue is removed, the remaining skin is tightened and the incisions are carefully closed to create a smoother, more contoured chest.

What are the Risks of Gynecomastia Surgery?

Although we take every precaution to minimise risk as much as possible, gynecomastia surgery, like any other procedure, comes with its own chance of complications:

• Scarring at the incision sites
• Contour irregularities, dimpling around the surgical site
• Prolonged numbness or swelling
• Hematoma or seroma 
• Infection at the incision sites 

Male Breast Reduction Recovery

During gynecomastia surgery recovery, you may experience swelling, soreness, and bruising in the affected area, which should gradually dissipate over the first few days. To manage any post-operative swelling, you will be provided with a compression garment that you must wear continuously for the first six weeks after surgery. 

In general, gynecomastia surgery patients can return to work after 1-2 weeks of recovery and usually feel able to carry out light, daily activities. However, patients are advised to avoid strenuous exercise until six weeks after the surgery. 

Male Breast Reduction Results

Immediately after gynecomastia surgery, you will have a noticeably flatter and more contoured chest. However, gynecomastia surgery results become fully visible once the residual swelling completely subsides, which may take up to 6 months. After this, you will be able to enjoy the full effect of your newly toned and defined chest, free of excess skin and glandular tissue. 

Furthermore, you will be provided with post-operative instructions by your surgeon, which will help aid your healing and minimise the appearance of scars. Your surgeon will carefully make incisions in places so that any scarring is hidden by the natural contours of the body. These scars should gradually fade and flatten to form faint, white lines. 

Complementary Procedures to Gynecomastia Surgery

Gynecomastia surgery can sometimes be combined with complementary procedures such as:

• Liposuction 
• Tummy tucks 
• Daddy makeovers
• Abdominal Etching

Discuss options with your surgeon during your gynecomastia consultation.
