Breast surgery for male patients can include the following procedures or conditions: Gynaecomastia and Asymmetry.

  • gynaecomastia is enlargement of breast tissue in men where there is over 2cm palpable, firm, subareolar gland and ductal tissue (not fat) reflecting an increased ratio of oestrogen to testosterone.
  • breast asymmetry correction surgery: patients with a natural absence of breast tissue, i.e. those who have Poland’s Syndrome, will often have a unilateral absence of breast tissue and this can cause a cosmetic concern in male patients.
