Gynecomastia Surgery In Ireland

Gynecomastia or Male breast reduction specifically addresses the problems faced by men with gynaecomastia, which is a non-cancerous enlargement of breast tissue in males caused by an imbalance between estrogen and testosterone hormones, by helping eliminate embarrassing excess breast and fatty tissue to reveal greater pectoralis muscle definition underneath.

Breast reduction for men is a surprisingly common procedure. Your doctor will go through the technical details of this procedure with you during your consultation and will advise you as to what is best for you.

The ideal candidates for breast reduction surgery for men are generally:

- Men over the age of 18.

- Men that want to remove fat from their breasts.

- Men seeking improved body image and confidence.

Modern methods of male breast reduction differ significantly from the older techniques. For many years, the surgery for male breast reduction left significant scarring and required the use of general anaesthesia, raising risk factors for patients. Male breast reduction now generally uses liposuction to remove fat from under the skin. The more modern methods of male breast reduction eliminate the need for general anaesthesia in most cases, and the tools used in male breast reduction through liposuction can be inserted using tiny incisions, so that this type of male breast reduction causes very little scarring by comparison.

Most patients describe the discomfort as mild to moderate, similar to an intense workout chest soreness. Any post-operative pain is easily managed with prescribed medication and typically subsides within 3-5 days. You'll be able to return to most normal activities within a week.

Any surgery usually results in scars; however, your surgeon aims to give you the best result by minimising the incision and strategically selecting the incision place to give you the best possible result.

During your consultation, we will discuss the potential locations of scars and determine the best approach for you. In most cases, scars fade significantly after a few months.

Male Breast Reduction typically takes 1-2 hours to complete, depending on the amount of tissue being removed and whether both liposuction and gland excision are required. It's performed as a day case, meaning you can go home the same day after a brief recovery period.

It depends on your profession. Generally, you should plan to take about 2-3 days off if you work in a comfortable office environment. You should plan to take about one to two weeks off if you perform heavy lifting or strenuous activities for work.

Most patients return to work within a week of undergoing male breast reduction. The liposuction method is much less painful and causes less tissue trauma, so patients of this form of male breast reduction generally recover more quickly and experience less postoperative stiffness and pain. Using liposuction alone for male breast reduction may not be effective for patients whose gynecomastia results from glandular disorders.

For most men struggling with persistent enlarged breasts, gyno removal is absolutely worth it. Patients report significantly improved confidence, better fitting clothes, and freedom to participate in activities they previously avoided. The results are permanent, making it a valuable long-term investment in your quality of life.

Most Irish health insurers do not cover gyno removal as it's considered a cosmetic procedure. However, if your gynecomastia is causing significant physical pain or is linked to a medical condition, there are some potential coverage options.
