Male breast reduction (gynaecomastia) is a predicament that can be resolved through different avenues of treatment.

The presence of excessive or pronounced breast tissue in men could be a tell tale sign of gynecomastia, or it could be due to weight-related complications. The root cause is discerned after thorough consultation with a medical expert.

In most patients, gynaecomastia is as a result of no apparent cause. In this case, breast tissue will need to be removed surgically. In some patients, this could be because of medical causes and requires medical treatment prescribed and supervised by medical experts to reduce breast tissue proliferation.

Mr. Jag Jagadeesan’s clinic offers best male breast reduction surgery in Birmingham, alleviating all your inhibitions and putting you at complete ease from start to finish.

The core aspect to understand is that male breast tissue removal entails a different approach than regular breast tissue removal, due to the differences in inherent physiology among other factors. Our male breast reduction surgery clinic in Birmingham, ticks all the boxes for a hassle-free procedure.

Why Male Breast Reduction Is Important?

As a clinic providing the best male breast reduction surgery in Birmingham, we strive to provide effective treatment for men seeking out this treatment.

The apparent consequence is psychological stress from the abnormal breast tissue. Gynecomastia can be fuelled by an underlying medical condition, which will require separate treatment.

In other, simpler cases, however, excess breast tissue in males can be removed by a breast reduction surgery. This procedure also requires meticulous counselling to ensure all risks and medical factors are accounted for prior to going through with the procedure.

Reducing male breast tissue helps men feel more body positive and confident in their own skin, and Mr. Jag Jagadeesan’s Clinic is here to make that a reality for every client seeking our treatment procedures.

Male Breast Reduction Procedure

Before surgery, your doctor will check whether you have attempted other methods of breast reduction, such as weight loss and/or liposuction, to gain a complete picture of your medical history and profile.
The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia to minimise discomfort and associated risks.
The amount of fat and tissue to be removed is taken into account before incisions are made on the chest region.
At our Birmingham Clinic, we aim to offer a minimal invasive male breast reduction surgery by an incision in your arm pit in most of our patients.
In patients with large gynaecomastia with significant excess skin – Incisions are made around the areola and the optimum amount of fat is extracted to reduce your breast size. Depending on the amount, other methods and more incisions may be required.
Once the excess fat and tissues is removed, the incisions are sealed up with sutures and surgical glue and allowed to heal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who performs male breast reduction in Birmingham?
Mr Jag Jagadeesan (GMC 5208914, FRCS Plast, BAAPS member) is a consultant plastic surgeon offering gynaecomastia surgery in Birmingham at Spire Little Aston Hospital, Hopwood Clinic, The Westbourne Centre and The Vesey Private Hospital. He has over 22 years of surgical experience.
What is gynaecomastia and how is it treated in Birmingham?
Gynaecomastia is the enlargement of male breast tissue caused by an imbalance of hormones, certain medications or excess fat deposits. Treatment in Birmingham involves surgical removal of excess glandular tissue, fat and sometimes skin to create a flatter, more masculine chest profile. Mr Jagadeesan uses a combination of liposuction and direct excision.
How much does male breast reduction cost in Birmingham?
Male breast reduction (gynaecomastia surgery) in Birmingham with Mr Jag Jagadeesan costs approximately £4,000 to £6,000. This includes consultation, surgery, anaesthesia and follow-up. Initial consultations are available from £150 at his Birmingham clinics.
What is the difference between true gynaecomastia and pseudogynaecomastia?
True gynaecomastia involves excess glandular breast tissue and requires surgical excision. Pseudogynaecomastia involves excess fat deposits without significant glandular tissue and can often be addressed with liposuction alone. Mr Jagadeesan assesses the composition of the breast enlargement at consultation to recommend the most appropriate technique.
What is recovery like after male breast reduction in Birmingham?
Most patients take 1 to 2 weeks off work. A compression garment is worn for 4 to 6 weeks. Strenuous exercise is avoided for 6 weeks. Final chest contour emerges at 3 to 6 months as swelling fully resolves. Mr Jagadeesan provides full post-operative instructions and follow-up appointments.
Will gynaecomastia surgery in Birmingham leave visible scars?
Scarring is minimal with the techniques Mr Jagadeesan uses. Liposuction incisions are very small. Where glandular tissue is excised, a small incision around the lower areola border is used — positioned to be inconspicuous once healed. Scars typically become very faint over 12 months.
Can gynaecomastia come back after male breast reduction in Birmingham?
If surgery removes the glandular tissue completely, recurrence is unlikely provided the underlying cause is addressed. Weight gain, use of anabolic steroids or certain medications can cause recurrence. Mr Jagadeesan discusses the cause of your gynaecomastia at consultation and advises on steps to reduce the risk of recurrence.
Am I a suitable candidate for male breast reduction in Birmingham?
Good candidates are men with enlarged breast tissue that has been present for more than one year, who are at a stable weight, non-smoking and in good general health. Underlying medical causes such as hormonal imbalances or medication side effects should be excluded by a GP before proceeding with surgery.
Are there any adverse effects to the surgery?

Aside from some swelling and bruising, you shouldn’t be experiencing any major repercussions from the male breast reduction surgery. In case of any complications, please reach out to us at the earliest.

Can I take painkillers to help with the post-surgery pain?

Yes, but please refrain from taking excessive painkillers, especially aspirin.

How long do I have to wear the supporting garment for?

The supporting garment helps heal your chest and maintain its post-surgery contours. For ideal results, wear the garment for at least 6 weeks after surgery.
