Despite the nickname, having “man boobs” is no laughing matter for those who suffer from gynecomastia. If you avoid going shirtless or shy away from intimate situations because you don’t want anyone noticing your chest, then gynecomastia is affecting your life.
Just because gynecomastia is common doesn’t mean that you have to accept a chest shape you are unhappy with. You have several male breast reduction options to help you get the firmer, flatter contour you envision for yourself and lose the “man boobs” once and for all.
In a great number of cases, gynecomastia can be successfully treated using Vaser liposuction. Using a tiny cannula, or liposuction tube, our surgeons remove excess fat by obliterating and draining the fat cells to sculpt a flatter, natural looking male chest with a relatively simple outpatient surgery and a quick recovery.
Chest liposuction requires only one or two tiny scars, typically located in the armpit or another inconspicuous location in the chest area.
In patients with larger male breasts, in cases where a great deal of the excess breast tissue is composed of glandular tissue, or in men with sagging, stretched skin on the chest, our surgeons may recommend tissue excision. During this type of male breast reduction procedure, an incision is typically made around the edge of the areola. Through this incision, excess glandular tissue and fat are removed, and the chest is sculpted into a flatter, more naturally masculine shape.
While tissue excision leaves a somewhat larger scar, most patients find that scars are barely perceptible once healed.
In many cases, tissue excision and liposuction can be combined for an optimal result. This allows our surgeons to remove an adequate amount of tissue and sculpt an attractive shape to the chest. Many men also choose to have abdominal liposuction during the same operation to achieve a leaner overall physique.

I got a HydraFacial by the lovely Aimee and its worked wonders on my skin! I struggled really badly with acne since I was a teenager and this facial helped reduce the appearance of my old scars and has prevented any break outs since. I will definitely be back for another.

The best thing I’ve ever done and I couldn’t be happier or recommend Signature Clinic highly enough, from the initial phone call all the way to the procedure and aftercare, the whole process was quick, efficient and easy while conducted with true professionalism. 2000/10 score from me.

The whole process with Signature was very efficient and stress free. I was made to feel very comfortable throughout all aspects of the procedure. I was given realistic expectations of the healing process as well as regular follow ups and after care advice. Really happy with the results and would highly recommend Signature Clinic!

I had a labiaplasty treatment at Signature Clinic (London) two months ago. I waited to see the result so I can give a more detailed review. The staff members were really nice and caring. The surgeon was very considerate and gentle. The outcome of the treatment is excellent and better than what I expected. I would highly recommend this Clinic if someone is looking for a place that provides good quality service. :)
Dr Ahmed made me feel at ease throughout my whole procedure, I got liposuction on my chin due to insecurities and I have never felt more comfortable in my own skin, The confidence this has given me is unbelievable! I feel like a new person, Thank you so much or all the staff at Signature!

If I could rate 10 stars, I would! Mr Ahmed, I cannot thank you enough. It’s only been three days, but I am over the moon with the results already, A little swollen and red on my eyelids, and just a small amount of bruising. Andrea, Ffion and Lucy – thank you so much for making it a nice, relaxed experience throughout. I am looking forward to coming back for my next procedure. If anyone is concerned or frightened to go for this procedure, don’t be. You are in good hands. Deep down, I was horrified at the thought of a needle going anywhere near my eyes. However, it was over before I knew it, felt strange on times but no pain at all and I haven’t needed painkillers since it’s just slightly sore when using the drops.

Had my Gynecomastia surgery yesterday and it went better than I had anticipated! Everybody in the clinic was so kind and made my visit comforting considering I had never had surgery up until that point! It really did take the nerves out of the equation; really thankful for that.
Surgery lasted for about 45 minutes and there was no discomfort at all. You can feel things happening on the numbed area but no pain whatsoever. The immediate results post-surgery were phenomenal and the aftercare team were very informative with the Do’s and Don’ts and I was given a garment to wear consistently (4 – 6 weeks) for recovery and for the best long term results!
Special thanks to the doctors who changed my life for the better and restored confidence in me which had been lacking for the better part of my life..but not anymore thanks to these guys! All of you are lifesavers, forever grateful! Highly recommend this clinic A++++

Amazing surgeon Dr Turner she did a great job I’m healing super fast and the aftercare team are absolutely brilliant. I’ve called almost daily and they’ve been so friendly, knowledgeable and reassuring. Highly recommended!

I recently had gynecomastia surgery at the Birmingham branch of Signature Clinic.
From the moment I stepped in I was made to feel welcome from all staff, the waiting room was incredibly clean and my nerves were kept at ease from the friendly environment.
When walking into the procedure room, the surgical staff were also very kind and helpful in preparing me for the procedure, they even asked me what music I would prefer to listen to!
Dr Ahmed, the doctor who led my procedure ensured throughout the procedure that I was comfortable and did an amazing job with my surgery. There was also a female member of staff who helped me during me pre and post operation checks who was incredibly kind and helpful.
Overall, I recommend Signature Clinic to anyone who is thinking of having gynecomastia surgery or any procedure they may provide, as I had an incredible experience.

“Totally recommend Signature Clinic!! Every member of staff was so lovely from reception to clinical team. Felt safe and secure the entire procedure (buccal fat removal), and team made sure I knew all the right information and aftercare for the best healing & realistic result times. From initial phonecalls/consults to the actual surgery everyone was so friendly and reassuring! Big big thank you to Anna, Cameron, Dr Ahmed, and the amazing Alisha! :D”

I’ve had 2 treatments at Signature Clinic and both were equally delightful! I had HIFU on my jawline/neck area a few months ago and really noticed a difference after it – friends even commented asking if I had lost weight on my face! Then today I had a lovely Hydrafacial which was amazing, my skin feels so much cleaner and less congested. Both treatments were done by Amy – she was very warm and welcoming and made me feel at ease straight away. I highly recommend Signature Clinic and looking forward to going back in the future.

I can’t recommend signature clinic enough! I came here to get my first minor surgery (A Lip Lift) and I was so nervous, but the staff greeted me and made me feel so welcome and at ease. The surgeon and nurses that did the surgery made me feel so comfortable and kept me laughing and reassured throughout. Before and after the surgery the clinic kept constant contacting, and continuing to give me 6 week check ins to see how I was healing.
My experience with the clinic was incredible and I wouldn’t dream of going anywhere else!

If I could give 10 stars I would. The surgery has transformed my life and was so well executed. The staff are very caring and make you feel welcome.
Dr Ahmed really knows what he is doing and listened to my requests and carried them out adeptly. He was attentive and the result was amazing. As each week goes by, I am more and more impressed with what he did.Andrea Clodagh and Tailor were welcoming and caring. They made sure I had everything I need and answered all my questions.
