Male chest reduction surgery is one of our most popular procedures for men at our state-of-the-art Baker Street clinic in London. Men most commonly present with man boobs, or nipples and areola, which may be too large or puffy. The most common cause of this chest appearance is gynecomastia. Over time, the male breast begins to enlarge and swell and often becomes highly visible even through items of clothing, which may affect a man’s self-confidence. Hormonal imbalances of oestrogen and testosterone are most commonly responsible for the formation of gynecomastia. However, several possible causes include advancing age, excessive weight, certain medications such as antidepressants, or chronic medical conditions.
RELATED: Why Is Gynecomastia Becoming More Common?
Many men have unsuccessfully tried dieting and regular physical exercise. However, in the vast majority of cases, these sensible lifestyle modifications are not enough to improve the appearance of gynaecomastia and surgery is most commonly required to both eliminate excess fat and surgically remove glandular tissue from behind the male nipple for full correction.

Key Considerations in Selecting a Gynecomastia Surgery Specialist
When it comes to choosing a surgeon for gynecomastia surgery, an operation aimed at reducing male breast tissue, there are several critical factors to consider. This decision is vital to ensure not only the success of the procedure but also your comfort and safety throughout the process.
The surgeon’s qualifications and credentials are the foremost aspects to verify. It’s crucial to select a surgeon who is board-certified in plastic surgery, as this certification is an assurance of their comprehensive training and adherence to high standards in the field. If possible, choose a surgeon who has additional training or specialisation in male breast reduction or body contouring, as this indicates a deeper understanding of the specific techniques and considerations involved in gynecomastia surgery.
Experience is a pivotal factor in your selection. A surgeon who has performed numerous gynecomastia surgeries is likely to have a refined skill set and a nuanced understanding of male chest anatomy. Ask about the number of gynecomastia procedures they have performed and their experience in dealing with cases similar to yours.
Before-and-after photos of the surgeon’s previous gynecomastia patients can be incredibly insightful. These photos allow you to evaluate the surgeon’s capability in achieving natural, aesthetically pleasing results. Pay close attention to cases that resemble your own in terms of breast size and body type.
Patient testimonials and reviews provide a glimpse into the experiences of others who have undergone the same procedure with the surgeon. These can offer insights into the surgeon’s approach, the quality of care provided, and the satisfaction level with the outcomes. However, bear in mind that individual experiences can vary, and these should be one of many factors in your decision.
Effective communication is key to a successful surgical experience. During consultations, assess how the surgeon communicates. They should listen to your concerns, clearly explain the procedure, its risks, and potential outcomes, and make you feel at ease. A surgeon who understands your goals and shows empathy is more likely to deliver a result that meets your expectations.
Finally, consider the quality of the facility where the surgery will be conducted. Ensure that the clinic or hospital is well-equipped with the latest technology, adheres to stringent safety standards, and has a professional, compassionate staff. The environment should be one that instils confidence and contributes positively to your overall surgical experience.
