Gynaecomastia Surgery Frequently Asked Questions

Should I Have Gynaecomastia Surgery?

Gynaecomastia is a highly personal procedure, and the outcome will be different for everyone. That is why, before you make any decisions, you will need to have a consultation with Dr Hunt to discuss your goals for the surgery.

During your first consultation, Dr Hunt will evaluate your general health and explain the recommended surgical procedure to achieve your goals, including the risks, potential complications, and your recovery time. Photographs will be taken for your medical record and to allow Dr Hunt to fully plan your surgery.

A quote will be prepared for you that will include the surgical, anaesthetic, and hospital fees.

What's Involved in Male Breast Surgery?

Gynaecomastia is performed under a general anaesthetic, given by an anaesthetist, in an accredited hospital. Different surgical techniques are used depending on whether you have glandular enlargement, excess fatty tissue, or excess skin. Liposuction alone may be effective, or surgical excision of breast tissue may be required. In some cases, a combination of surgical excision and Liposuction may be used.

Depending on the type of surgery performed, a drain may be used to help prevent blood from collecting under your skin. When you wake up, you will be wearing a compression garment.

When Can I Go Home After Gynaecomastia Surgery?

You can usually return home on the same day as Gynaecomastia Surgery. When you go home, you should limit your movements to around the house for 2 to 3 days. When you are discharged, you will be given a prescription for pain medication to alleviate your discomfort.

You should take only the pain medication prescribed, and eat before you take it or it might upset your stomach.

Eat lightly for 3 to 4 days after surgery and then resume your normal diet. Make sure you get plenty of fluids.

Will I Have to Return for Post-Operative Care After Gynaecomastia Surgery?

You will return to see Dr Hunt several days after your surgery.
