Gynecomastia (or “man boobs”) is a common condition among men characterised by the overdevelopment of breast tissue. The removal of this excess tissue and skin to flatten and sculpt the area is known as gynecomastia surgery, frequently referred to as a male breast reduction. Read this article to find out more about male breast reduction and its associated cost here at the CREO Clinic.
The price of gynecomastia surgery at CREO Clinic is typically around £6,900 – £12,900. Gynecomastia surgery is a bespoke procedure, and the price may change depending on the anaesthetics used, the facility where the procedure is performed, and whether skin tightening and/or liposuction is required.

As gynecomastia surgery is a cosmetic procedure, it is not usually available through the NHS or covered by private insurers. Rare exceptions may be made to eligibility if: a patient has had gynecomastia for a long time; it has not previously responded to other treatment, and it’s causing severe pain or distress. Make sure to speak to your insurer if you think you may meet these criteria.
If you are thinking about pursuing gynecomastia treatment, you need to find a plastic surgeon that is both qualified and experienced. It is important that you check your surgeon’s qualifications to ensure that they are board-certified with extensive training shown in their records. Furthermore, ensure that the surgeon has a significant amount of experience in the niche field of gynecomastia procedures. This will mean that they have mastered the skills and artistry required to produce optimum results. Finally, read up on the safety precautions your surgeon will take throughout the male breast reduction surgery.
Men usually produce less oestrogen levels (the hormone that controls the growth of breast tissue) and more testosterone (which reduces the effects of oestrogen) compared to women. When these two hormones become imbalanced, excessive breast tissue can develop. This can occur at any age for numerous reasons:
Gynecomastia surgery is tailored to an individual patient’s need, combining a range of different techniques and surgeries, including the potential use of liposuction to remove excess fat deposits. Your surgeon will determine and discuss a step-by-step treatment plan with you during your consultation.
A typical gynecomastia procedure lasts 1-3 hours and can involve either local, sedation, or general anaesthetic. Once anaesthetic is administered, the surgeon makes an incision around the nipples. Both the size and placement of these incisions depend on a range of factors, including the amount of excess tissue. After this, the surgeon removes the excess glandular tissue and skin. Finally, the surgeon tightens the remaining skin while stitching the incisions.
During gynecomastia surgery recovery, you may have some swelling, soreness, and bruising around the affected region that should lessen gradually in the first few days. You should be able to resume most of your daily routine within 1-2 weeks but should avoid strenuous exercise until six weeks after male breast reduction.
You should notice results immediately after your male breast reduction surgery, with the chest area appearing flatter and more contoured. Gynecomastia surgery results will become fully apparent after swelling has completely subsided, which usually takes up to six months. Scarring from this plastic surgery is usually minimal and will fade over time.
Are you wondering if gynecomastia is worth it? Many men report poorer self-esteem and quality of life due to gynecomastia. Plastic surgery aimed at resolving the associated cosmetic worries can help boost confidence and therefore be worthwhile, with more and more men across the UK pursuing gynecomastia for this very reason.
If you have concerns about gynecomastia or seek to enhance the contours of your chest, male breast reduction surgery might be for you.
