Gynecomastia Surgery for Men

Restore a Flatter, More Masculine Chest with Confidence

Gynecomastia surgery at Eden Clinic offers a long-term solution for men who feel self-conscious or uncomfortable due to excess breast tissue. This carefully performed surgical procedure removes unwanted glandular tissue, fat, or loose skin to create a flatter, firmer and more masculine chest contour without changing who you are.

At our Dublin clinic, gynecomastia surgery is carried out under local anaesthetic as a day-case procedure, allowing patients to return home the same day. With personalised consultations, discreet care and structured aftercare support, Eden Clinic provides a supportive environment focused entirely on your comfort, safety and confidence.

What Is Gynecomastia?

Gynecomastia is the enlargement of male breast tissue, often caused by hormonal imbalance, genetics, medication, weight changes or puberty-related factors. Unlike chest fat alone, gynecomastia commonly involves firm glandular tissue beneath the nipple that does not respond to diet or exercise.

For many men, gynecomastia affects more than physical appearance. It can lead to discomfort, difficulty wearing fitted clothing and a loss of confidence in social or intimate settings. Gynecomastia surgery is designed to address these concerns by removing the excess tissue and restoring a more natural chest shape.

Depending on the individual case, treatment may involve:

  • Removal of glandular tissue
  • Liposuction to address fatty deposits
  • Skin resection when excess or stretched skin is present

Your surgeon will determine the most appropriate approach during your consultation, sometimes combining techniques used in body contouring surgery to achieve balanced, natural-looking results.

Who Is Gynecomastia Surgery For?

 

Gynecomastia Surgery for men

Gynecomastia surgery may be suitable if you experience:

  • Persistent enlargement of breast tissue on one or both sides
  • A firm or rubbery mass beneath the nipple
  • Chest fullness that does not improve with weight loss
  • Loose or stretched chest skin following significant weight change
  • Self-consciousness when wearing fitted clothing or removing your top
  • Stable weight and good general health

This procedure is intended for adult men once other medical causes have been ruled out. It is not a weight-loss treatment, but a targeted solution for tissue that does not respond to lifestyle changes. Gynecomastia surgery is one of several male cosmetic surgery options available for men seeking long-term improvements in body confidence.

A free virtual consultation with a consulting doctor allows you to discuss your concerns privately and confirm whether surgery is appropriate for you.

Benefits of Gynecomastia Surgery

Liposuction can be tailored to treat one or multiple areas in a single procedure, depending on individual needs.

Common treatment areas include:

  • Abdomen

  • Flanks (love handles)

  • Thighs

  • Chest

  • Arms

  • Chin and jawline

  • Other localised fat deposits

Each treatment plan is customised to ensure natural-looking, proportionate results.

What to Expect on the Day of Surgery

Gynecomastia surgery at Eden Clinic is performed in a calm, discreet clinical environment under local anaesthetic, with optional sedation if required.

On the day:

  • Your surgeon will review the treatment plan and mark the chest area
  • Local anaesthetic is administered for comfort
  • Excess tissue is carefully removed through small incisions near the areola
  • Liposuction or skin resection may be performed where appropriate
  • Incisions are closed with precision to minimise scarring

After surgery, you will rest briefly in a recovery area before being discharged the same day with detailed aftercare instructions and direct contact details.

Recovery Timeline

Most patients return to light daily activities within 48 hours and resume work after 3 to 5 days, depending on their role. Swelling and bruising are expected initially and typically improve within 7 to 10 days.

A compression vest is worn for several weeks to:

  • Reduce swelling
  • Support healing
  • Help the chest settle into its new contour

Strenuous exercise and upper-body workouts should be avoided for approximately four weeks. Final results become visible once swelling fully subsides, usually within 6 to 8 weeks, with scars continuing to fade gradually over time. Ongoing post-surgical aftercare is available throughout your recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is gynecomastia surgery permanent?

Yes, results are long-lasting as the removed glandular tissue does not return. Maintaining a stable weight and avoiding triggering medications is important.

The surgery is performed under local anaesthetic, and discomfort afterward is usually mild and manageable with prescribed pain relief.

Incisions are typically placed discreetly around the areola. Scars fade over time and are usually difficult to notice once healed.

Most patients return to work within 3–5 days. Full recovery and final results are typically seen within 6–8 weeks.

In most cases, gynecomastia surgery is considered cosmetic and is not covered. This can be discussed during your consultation.

Recurrence is uncommon but possible with significant weight gain, hormonal changes or certain medications.
