Male Breast Reduction Surgery at Crown Clinic
Many men experience gynecomastia, a condition that leads to the enlargement of male breast tissue due to excess glandular tissue or excess fat, often causing emotional discomfort and self-consciousness. This can result in avoiding certain physical activities or wearing loose clothing to conceal the chest.
At Crown Clinic, we offer male breast reduction surgery in Sydney through our full-service cosmetic surgery clinic, ICCM (International Centre for Cosmetic Medicine). Our team provides a range of advanced cosmetic treatments designed to help you achieve a firmer, more proportionate chest.
Our gynecomastia surgery effectively reduces excess glandular tissue and excess fat, improving chest contours and restoring a more defined appearance—all with minimal post-operative downtime.
What is Gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia is a medical condition characterised by the abnormal growth of excess glandular tissue in the male chest. This can result from hormonal imbalances, genetics, weight fluctuations, or certain medications.
While gynecomastia itself is not harmful, it can significantly impact self-esteem and confidence. In some cases, excess skin may also contribute to the appearance of a fuller chest, particularly after significant weight loss.
At Crown Clinic, our male breast reduction surgery is designed to address these concerns by removing excess glandular tissue and sculpting a more natural chest contour.

Am I a good candidate for a male breast reduction?
If you’re considering male breast reduction, you may be a good candidate if you meet the following conditions:
- You are in overall good health and at a healthy and stable weight
- You are a non-smoker or have stopped smoking well before planning the surgery
- You have realistic expectations about what the surgery can achieve
- You experience physical discomfort or feel self-conscious about excess breast tissue
The best way to ascertain your suitability for gynaecomastia surgery in Sydney is to schedule a consultation. During this appointment, a thorough assessment will be conducted to discuss your goals, evaluate your chest, and ensure you have a comprehensive understanding of the procedure and its potential outcomes.
What Causes Male Gynecomastia?
Although hormone balance is often the most common cause, excess breast tissue in men can be caused by a variety of factors. These include:
- Genetics
- Disease
- Certain medications
- Obesity
Surgery is often a good option for men who suffer from swelling in the breast tissue and who have tried other treatments without success. If you are considering the procedure, we recommend that you are in overall good health, are a non-smoker and are at a healthy and stable weight.
If your gynecomastia is the result of prescription medication or other drugs, for example steroids, you will need to be fully free from these and maintain a stable weight range to ensure the results of your surgery are long-lasting.

Your Consultation Process: What to Expect
If you suspect you have gynecomastia, we recommend booking a consultation as soon as possible. At Crown Clinic, we follow a structured approach to assess your condition and determine the most suitable treatment plan.
Step 1: Initial Consultation
During your one-on-one consultation, our cosmetic doctors will:
- Assess the physical effects of excess tissue and its impact on your chest.
- Discuss the emotional impact of gynecomastia and your aesthetic goals.
- Address any questions or concerns you may have about treatment options.
Step 2: Physical Examination
A comprehensive physical examination will be conducted to:
- Evaluate the composition of your breast tissue.
- Determine whether you are a suitable candidate for male breast surgery.
- Identify if additional diagnostic tests are needed.
Step 3: Ultrasound Referral & Further Assessment
In some cases, further tests may be required to confirm the cause of excess tissue. If necessary:
✔ A referral for an ultrasound assessment will be issued.
✔ This scan will help distinguish between excess glandular tissue and excess fat.
✔ The ultrasound results will determine your eligibility for a Medicare rebate.
✔ A second consultation may be scheduled to discuss your ultrasound findings and final treatment plan.
Treatment Options for Male Breast Reduction
Male breast surgery can involve different surgical techniques, depending on the type and severity of excess tissue present. The two primary treatment options are:
- Liposuction: This technique removes excess fatty tissue by inserting a narrow tube through a small incision and suctioning out the fat.
- Mastectomy: A surgical procedure in which a surgical excision is made, and the breast gland tissue is removed to create a more contoured chest.
In many cases, liposuction and mastectomy are combined to achieve optimal results. Every patient is unique, and the most appropriate option will be determined based on your individual needs and consultation findings.
Risks and Complications
As with any surgical or invasive procedure, male breast surgery carries potential risks and complications. These may include:
- Infection and bleeding
- Anaesthetic risks
- Possible alterations in nipple or breast sensation
- Scarring from the surgical procedure
- Asymmetry in the contour and shape of the breasts
- Need for revision surgery
The healing process varies for each patient, and following post-operative care instructions is essential for optimal recovery. Your cosmetic doctor will discuss all potential risks and complications in detail before proceeding with treatment.
What Kind of Results Can I Expect?
Most patients are able to see the results of their treatment immediately after the procedure, even more so once the swelling goes down. However, it may take up to six months to see the full effects of the procedure.
Overall, you will have a flatter, firmer chest area. There may be a small amount of scarring, however, it will likely fade over time and your doctor will conceal them as much as possible by using the natural contours of the body.

How Long Does Recovery Take?
Immediately after your surgery, any of the small incisions made during the procedure will be dressed, and you will need to wear a specialised surgical garment. This is used to minimise swelling and provide your body with support as it heals. You may also require a certain number of small tubes placed under the skin at first to drain any excess fluid or blood that persists in the area.
Your doctor will provide you with detailed instructions on how best to take care of your wounds, including medication instructions if you need them for pain relief. You will also be required to schedule a follow-up appointment to ensure your recovery process is on track.
Gynecomastia surgery recovery time can vary from patient to patient, in general, patients who’ve undergone liposuction male breast reduction surgery have a recovery time of only a few days, while excision surgery recovery can take up to two weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can the treatment be used for?
Surgery is often a good option for men who suffer from swelling in the breast tissue and who have tried other treatments without success. If you are considering the procedure, we recommend that you are in overall good health, that you are a non-smoker and that you are at a healthy and stable weight.
What should I expect at the consultation?
If you are concerned about swelling in your breast tissue, we recommend that you come in for a personal consultation. A one-on-one consultation with your doctor is the first step for any patient considering gyno removal surgery. We will assess your physical and emotional health, discuss your aesthetic goals, and address any questions or concerns you may have.
How does the gynecomastia procedure work?
Before your gynecomastia surgery in Sydney, we will perform a physical examination in order to properly evaluate your breast tissue. In some cases, tests may be performed in order to confirm your diagnosis.
Treatment for gynecomastia may include liposuction, in which breast fat is removed, or mastectomy, a surgery in which the breast gland tissue is removed. Depending on the findings from the clinical examination and ultrasound assessment, your doctor will either recommend liposuction to remove fat tissue, an excision (or surgical removal) of glandular tissue, or a combination of both of these treatments.
In the case of liposuction, your doctor will insert a narrow tube through tiny incisions in order to loosen and remove excess fat. The fat is suctioned out of the body. If your doctor decides that glandular breast tissue and skin needs to be removed from the breast area, excision techniques will be used. In some cases, the size of the areola will be decreased and the nipple may be repositioned.
How long does recovery take?
After your gynecomastia surgery in Sydney, your incisions will be dressed and you may be given a surgical garment to wear in order to minimise swelling and provide support as your body heals. Small tubes may be placed under the skin in order to drain excess fluid and blood from the body. Your doctor will explain how best to take care of your surgical wounds and you may be prescribed with medications to help relieve any pain and discomfort. You will need to schedule some follow-up appointments so that your doctor can check on the progress of your recovery.
What kind of results can I expect?
You should be able to see the results of your treatment immediately after the procedure, and they will become particularly apparent as your swelling subsides. It can take up to six months to achieve the final results, at which time you will enjoy a flatter, firmer chest area. You may notice some scarring following surgery, although these will generally fade over time. Your doctor will do their best to conceal as many scars as possible within the natural contours of the body.
