Gynecomastia Surgery in Dublin
Male Breast Reduction Surgery​
Gynecomastia Surgery (Male Breast Reduction)
​
Gynecomastia, commonly known as enlarged male breasts, is a condition that affects a significant number of men across various age groups. It can lead to discomfort, self-consciousness, and impact one's quality of life. At Donnybrook Clinic, we offer specialised male breast reduction surgery to help you achieve a flatter, more masculine chest contour. Gynecomastia is a condition of overdevelopment or enlargement of the male breast tissue, affecting up to 65% of men worldwide.
​
Understanding Gynecomastia
​
Gynecomastia is characterised by the enlargement of glandular breast tissue in men, often resulting from hormonal imbalances, certain medications, or underlying health conditions. Unlike fat accumulation, this glandular tissue cannot be eliminated through diet and exercise alone. The condition can affect one or both breasts and may cause tenderness or sensitivity.​
Causes of Gynecomastia
​
Several factors can contribute to the development of gynecomastia:
​
-
Hormonal Imbalances: An increase in oestrogen or a decrease in testosterone levels.
-
Medications: Certain drugs, including anabolic steroids, anti-androgens, and some antidepressants.
-
Health Conditions: Liver or kidney disease, thyroid disorders, or tumours.
-
Substance Use: Alcohol, marijuana, and other recreational drugs.
-
Obesity: Excess fat can lead to increased oestrogen production.​
​
Is Gyno Surgery Right for You?
​
Male breast reduction surgery is considered when:​
​
-
Gynecomastia persists despite lifestyle changes.
-
The condition causes physical discomfort or emotional distress.
-
You are in good overall health and have realistic expectations.​
A thorough consultation with Dr Sami will determine the most appropriate treatment plan for your specific needs.
Post Gynecomastia Surgery​​
Recovery after male breast reduction surgery is generally straightforward, with most patients experiencing minimal downtime. Following the procedure, you will be advised to wear a compression garment. This helps to reduce swelling, support healing, and promote the newly contoured shape of the chest. While some discomfort, bruising, and swelling are normal in the initial days, these symptoms gradually subside.
​
It’s important to rest and avoid strenuous activities, especially exercises that involve the chest muscles, for at least two weeks. You may return to work within a week, depending on the physical demands of your job. Throughout the recovery process, our team will provide detailed post-operative instructions and schedule regular follow-up appointments to monitor your healing progress and ensure the best possible outcome.
