Introduction

Some men have enhanced male breast development, either because they have lost a lot of weight and have sagging, excess skin or because the underlying breast tissue has grown, (gynaecomastia).
Male breast reduction is an operation to reduce the size of the breasts by removing excess fat, glandular tissue and skin from the area, to make the breast flatter.
A cut is made either around the areola, (the dark skin surrounding the nipple), or under your arm. Excess fat, skin and breast tissue is then removed. Liposuction is occasionally performed at the same time if there is excess fat around the area. Very occasionally cuts may extend further down the chest and the nipples may need to be repositioned.
