Liposuction and gland excision for gynaecomastia

This patient, in his early 40s, had firm glandular gynaecomastia. He had liposuction and excision of the firmer tissue (more on his left side) through a nipple incision. His results are shown at 6 months, with good skin retraction shown.

Gynaecomastia surgery for long-standing chest asymmetry

This man in his 20s had long-standing gynaecomastia present since his teenage years, more pronounced and occasionally painful on the left side, which had persisted despite medical treatment. Surgery was performed under general anaesthesia using liposuction and direct gland excision through small areolar incisions. The photographs show his result at six months: a flatter, symmetrical chest with minimal scarring.

Skin removal from chest with free nipple grafting and abdominoplasty

This patient, aged 37, lost over 6 stone and had maintained a stable weight for a year, leaving him with significant loose skin on his chest and abdomen. He underwent skin excision to the chest with free nipple grafting alongside a full tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) to remove the overhanging abdominal skin. The photographs show a flatter chest and a smoother abdominal contour.

Gynecomastia liposuction result

Our patient is in his 30s. He had long-standing gynecomastia despite having a relatively healthy weight, felt restricted in his choice of clothing, and said that his nipples could get puffy at times.

He had standard tumescent liposuction with 450cc of fat removed. His result is shown at 6 months.

Liposuction for male breast reduction

This patient underwent male breast reduction surgery at Waterfront Private Hospital in Edinburgh for long-standing excess chest tissue — a mix of fatty and glandular tissue that had persisted despite a healthy weight and active lifestyle.

The procedure involved liposuction only, with 500cc of fat removed under general anaesthesia. The photographs show a flatter chest with an improved contour at his follow-up review.

Standard liposuction only gynecomastia correction

This man in his early 20s had 600cc standard liposuction carried out. Results are shown at 6 months. No gland excision was required.

Liposuction and gland excision

This young man had 550cc standard liposuction and a small gland excision (approximately 15g on each side) to treat gynecomastia. The before-and-after images show his result at six months.

Excision of localised glandular gynecomastia - no skin excision

This young man developed significant gynecomastia, which was worse on his left side.

He had removal (excision) of the glandular tissue (60g on his left and 40g on his right) and additionally had liposuction carried out (200cc).

His result is shown at 6 months, with good skin retraction.

High volume liposuction for gynecomastia

This man is in his early 40s. He had longstanding gynecomastia since his teenage years and felt increasingly self-conscious when wearing shirts.

He had high-volume liposuction (800cc aspirated) and did not require any gland excision. He had some bleeding on his right side and needed to return to the operating theatre; this did not affect his recovery. His result is shown at 6 months.

Excision of localised glandular gynecomastia under local anaesthesia

This young man developed tender lumps behind his nipples. As you can see, he is otherwise very thin and has no fatty tissue. He had very firm glandular (grade I) gynecomastia. As well as being sore at times, he felt self-conscious about the appearance of his chest.

He had removal of the glandular tissue under local anaesthesia (fully awake) with 20g removed from his right side and 10g from the left. The results are shown at 6 months. The scars are barely visible and are around the lower half of the nipples.

Male breast reduction using liposuction and gland excision

This man in his early 30s was self-conscious about the appearance of his chest. He had standard tumescent liposuction (300cc total) and gland excisions through small cuts around the lower half of the nipples (10-15 grams of tissue removed on each side).

His results are shown at 6 months from several angles.

Gynecomastia liposuction and gland excision before and after

This young man had gynecomastia (grade I mild) from his early teenage years. Previous attempts at medical treatment were unsuccessful, and he continued to feel self-conscious about the appearance of his chest.

He had standard liposuction (250ml aspirated) and gland excision (12g each side) through a small cut on the undersurface of the nipples. His result is shown at six months.

Gynecomastia before and after

This patient had gynecomastia surgery in his early 30s. He had been self-conscious about the appearance of his chest for several years since he left school. Losing weight did not help him, and the appearance of his chest was affecting his confidence and limiting his choice of clothing. He felt uncomfortable taking his T-shirt off in public. He had aggressive liposuction carried out (600cc volume) and gland excision of the remaining hard tissue (10g each side). His outcome is shown at 6 months.

Gynecomastia liposuction before and after

This patient had aggressive liposuction carried out with around 900cc of fatty tissue removed. The results are shown at six months.

Gynecomastia before and after

The gynecomastia before and after photos below are of a man in his early 30s. He has a muscular build but had firm breast tissue below his nipples. He had a small amount of liposuction and surgical excision of around 40g of breast tissue from each side through a small cut around the lower part of the nipples. The outcome is shown at 6 months.

This patient has had liposuction carried out with a small amount of breast tissue being cut out at the end of the procedure through a small scar around the nipple on his right side. The results are shown at six months and show a natural outcome.

Male breast reduction before and after

Before and after gynecomastia photos of a patient in their late 20s. Aggressive liposuction was performed (600ml) followed by excision of a small amount of residual firmer breast tissue. Results are shown at 5 months.

Male breast reduction before and after

This patient had extensive liposuction carried out with a small amount of breast tissue being cut out at the end of the procedure through a small scar around the nipple. The results are shown at six months and show how much the skin can retract with time after removing the fatty breast tissue. Avoiding skin excision helps keep scarring to a minimum.

Liposuction and gland excision for gynaecomastia

This young man had a combination of liposuction and gland excision. No skin has been removed, so scars are limited on the lower half of the nipple (areola). There has been full skin retraction as the patient is young and had minimal skin excess to start with.

Gynaecomastia correction

From start to finish I felt the service I received from Quaba exceptional. Omar was incredible, the results from my surgery was amazing! I had no complications post op and attention to detail was to a very high standard. Throughout my experience I was made to feel very comfortable, confident, relaxed and put in the centre of my care needs. I would highly recommend Omar.
