Gynaecomastia is a benign condition where people have increased glandular breast tissue, specifically in males. While this is typically not a serious medical issue, it may cause self-consciousness.
At My Cosmetic Clinic, we take a consultation-first approach to gynaecomastia (male chest) surgery. We start with individual assessment and clear information about the condition and the surgical procedures, then plan around your anatomy and goals.
Gynaecomastia, or excess breast tissue, is very common, affecting up to 30% of men at some point in their lives. It may develop for a range of reasons, including hormonal factors, genetics, weight changes, or medication.
During a consultation, our qualified practitioners assess several factors to help determine whether body surgery may be right for you. These include:
The gynaecomastia procedure is a male breast reduction procedure. It’s typically performed using liposuction to remove the excess fat and glandular tissue from the chest through a thin tube.
Depending on your case, the procedure may also include surgical excision of glandular tissue.
The technique aims to target the fat and tissue contributing to chest size. It’s considered minimally invasive, using small incisions to support a faster recovery.
Concerned about enlarged breast tissue?
Consider a gynaecomastia consultation in Sydney to discuss your options.
A GP referral is required prior to consultation.
In-person consultation, where you may discuss suitability, risks and complications, followed by a mandatory two-week cooling-off period.
Pre-operative assessment, surgical planning, and scheduling following approval.
Undergo gynaecomastia surgery, with post-operative care provided.
Consultation fees apply. A cooling-off period is required under Australian regulations.
You will need to wear a compression garment to support recovery and potentially reduce swelling after your surgery.
Recovery times vary for each patient, but most people return to work and light activities within 1-2 weeks.
Avoid strenuous physical activity and chest exercises for at least 4-6 weeks, or as advised by your GP.
The outcome shown applies to this patient only and does not reflect the results other patients may experience. Individual results vary.

We're the first cosmetic clinic in Australia accredited against the NSQHS Standards, following independent assessment.
We treat surgery with the care it warrants. We assess every procedure individually and carry it out with qualified practitioners.
Gynaecomastia consultations run at eight NSW clinics: Castle Hill, Crows Nest, Balgowlah, Rosebery, Wollongong, Erina, and Newcastle.
Deciding on gynaecomastia surgery is a big decision, and it’s harder without the right information. At My Cosmetic Clinic, we’re here to help you understand the procedure and any other options you may want to consider before deciding.
If you’re still unsure whether it’s right for you, you can book a free discovery call to talk through your concerns and whether treatment may be suitable.
Yes. You’ll need a GP referral for your first consultation.
Gynaecomastia is often caused by a hormonal imbalance between testosterone and oestrogen.
Other possible causes include certain medications, anabolic steroid use, weight fluctuations, genetics, or underlying health issues such as liver disease or prostate cancer treatments.
In many cases, the cause is unknown. Your practitioner will discuss the likely cause during your initial consultation, as it may affect which approach is suitable.
You may be a good candidate if you are physically healthy, have a stable body weight, and experience persistent breast enlargement that does not respond to lifestyle changes.
The best candidates are non-smokers who have realistic expectations.
Consulting with our experienced practitioners is the best way to determine whether you are a good candidate for surgery.
The procedure typically involves liposuction, excision of glandular tissue, or a combination of both, depending on the amount and type of tissue present.
This type of surgery is usually done under general anaesthesia, and most patients go home the same day. Your practitioner will also recommend the best technique to suit your case and needs.
Depending on your case, gynaecomastia surgery may involve aiming to:
We assess suitability and what it may achieve for you at your consultation. Outcomes vary between patients.
It depends on the amount of tissue removed and your skin’s elasticity. In some cases, particularly after significant weight loss, excess skin may remain and be addressed as part of the procedure. We assess this individually at your consultation.
In most cases, the results are long-lasting, especially if you maintain a healthy lifestyle and stable weight.
However, hormonal changes, weight gain, or certain medications could cause the condition to return.
Following your practitioner’s aftercare instructions may help you maintain your results.
In some cases, we may consider a further procedure, depending on your recovery and individual results.
Like all surgery, gynaecomastia surgery carries risks, including those related to anaesthesia, infection, scarring, bleeding, blood clots, and delayed recovery.
A full consultation is required to assess your suitability, and your practitioner will discuss the full risks and potential benefits with you before you decide.
Where liposuction is involved, additional risks may include:
Cost depends on your case, the technique used, whether liposuction or tissue excision is involved, and the surgery’s complexity. For this reason, your practitioner confirms your final cost after assessing you.
The NSQHS Standards are the national requirements Australian health services are measured against for patient safety. For surgery, that covers areas like infection prevention and clinical care before, during, and after your procedure.
Important Information
All cosmetic procedures carry risk. Outcomes vary between individuals and depend on your health, your anatomy, your skin, and how your body responds. No result can be guaranteed.
Any images shown of actual patients treated at My Cosmetic Clinic are published with consent and show the outcome for that patient only. They do not indicate the result you would experience. Any use of stock imagery is not reflective of results.
Some procedures involve prescription-only medicines. Under Australian law, these cannot be named or advertised to the public. Whether a prescription medicine is suitable for you is a decision made with a qualified health practitioner during consultation, after an assessment of your history and your goals.
Every procedure requires a consultation before treatment. During that consultation, your practitioner will explain the risks, the likely recovery, how long any effect may take to appear, how long it may last, and how often treatment may need to be repeated. You will be given time to consider your options before you decide.
