Removal of glandular tissue & fat

Gynecomastia Surgery (Man Boobs) in London

VASER liposuction uses heat and ultrasound energy to melt fat, which is then gently suctioned out while sculpting the desired shape. Glandular tissue is removed through small, discreet incisions that fully heal and disappear.

What is Gynecomastia Surgery with VASER Liposuction in London?

Gynecomastia surgery with VASER liposuction is a procedure designed to reduce the size of enlarged male breasts. Gynaecomastia, the condition causing breast enlargement in men, is usually benign but can cause discomfort, pain, or emotional distress.

A thorough diagnostic assessment is carried out to identify any underlying causes. If these cannot be treated, or if other treatments have not been effective, surgery may be considered as a solution.

The procedure aims to restore a flatter, more masculine chest contour, while providing support and guidance throughout the entire treatment journey—from exploring options to recovery. The focus is on achieving natural-looking results alongside personalised, high-quality care.

What is the Cause of Gynaecomastia?

Gynaecomastia occurs when there is an imbalance between the hormones oestrogen, which promotes breast growth, and testosterone, which limits it.

It is common during teenage years and often resolves on its own. In adults, gynaecomastia can be linked to medical conditions that affect hormone levels, certain medications—including some cancer treatments, herbal supplements, and recreational drugs like cannabis—or obesity. Understanding the underlying cause is important in determining the most appropriate treatment.

What to Expect During Gynaecomastia Surgery in London

Gynaecomastia surgery is typically performed under general anaesthetic and aims to reduce excess fatty or glandular tissue in the male chest.

  1. Removal of Excess Tissue: A small incision is made, and the tissue is removed using liposuction, excision with a scalpel, or a combination of both techniques.

  2. Skin Adjustment: If the condition has stretched the skin, excess skin may also be removed to improve chest contour. The underlying pectoral muscles are not affected.

  3. Closing the Incision: The incision is closed, usually with dissolvable stitches. The size of the incision varies depending on the amount of tissue removed and the surgical approach used.

The procedure is designed to create a flatter, more masculine chest while minimising visible scarring.

Who Is Suitable for Gynaecomastia Surgery in London?

Gynaecomastia surgery is generally an option for adult men who have persistent breast enlargement that may be accompanied by discomfort or emotional distress.

Before considering surgery, doctors will assess any underlying causes and usually recommend trying non-surgical treatments first. Surgery is typically not advised until after puberty, usually from age 18 onward.

Choosing to undergo gynaecomastia surgery is a significant decision. At Dr Fasano’s Clinic, we carefully review your symptoms, discuss all available treatment options, and ensure you fully understand the procedure before moving forward. Our team provides support and guidance throughout the entire process, helping you make an informed decision with confidence.

How to Prepare for Gynaecomastia Surgery in London?

Proper preparation helps ensure a safe procedure and smooth recovery. Before surgery, you will undergo a comprehensive assessment, including a health review, blood tests, and sometimes imaging studies to evaluate your chest tissue.

If you smoke, it’s essential to stop several weeks prior to surgery, as smoking can slow healing and increase the risk of complications. Certain medications, such as aspirin or anti-inflammatory drugs, may also need to be paused—your surgeon will advise which ones.

As with all procedures requiring general anesthesia, you will be asked to fast before surgery. You should also arrange for someone to accompany you home and assist during the early stages of recovery to ensure your comfort and safety.

Recovery After Gynaecomastia Surgery in London

Gynaecomastia surgery is typically performed under general anaesthetic, with a one- to two-night hospital stay recommended. Wound healing usually takes a few weeks, and patients are generally advised to wear an elastic compression vest during this period to support recovery.

Most people need one to two weeks off work and should avoid strenuous activity or exercise for up to six weeks. Follow-up appointments are arranged to monitor healing and assess the results. While initial improvements are visible quickly, it can take several months for the final chest contour to fully develop.

Key Benefits of Gynecomastia Surgery in London

  • Permanent Results – Removes excess glandular tissue and fat for a lasting masculine chest contour.
  • Minimally Invasive Techniques – Small incisions and advanced tools ensure minimal scarring and downtime.
  • Improved Confidence – Helps you feel more comfortable and self-assured in fitted clothing and activities.
  • Reduced Physical Discomfort – Eliminates tenderness or pain caused by enlarged breast tissue.
  • Quick Recovery – Most patients resume light activities within a few days, with full recovery in 4–6 weeks.

Risks and Complications

Gynaecomastia surgery is generally safe and produces results that most patients are pleased with, but like all surgical procedures, it carries some risks. These will be thoroughly discussed with you before you decide to proceed.

Common side effects include temporary swelling and bruising, which usually improve over time. There is a small risk of infection, which can be treated with antibiotics if necessary, and some patients may develop a haematoma (a collection of blood) that usually resolves on its own, though occasionally further surgery is required.

Other possible outcomes include minor scarring or permanent numbness in the breast area. While surgeons aim to achieve the desired results, there is a very small chance that outcomes may not fully match expectations. It’s important to note that the final results can take several months to fully develop, sometimes up to a year.
