Gynaecomastia Surgery UK Summary: Gynaecomastia surgery (male breast reduction) physically excises firm, fibrous glandular breast tissue beneath the nipple—often combined with micro-liposuction or BodyTite radiofrequency energy to contour fatty deposits and tighten chest skin. Performed under local tumescent anaesthesia as a single day-case procedure, surgical excision provides immediate, permanent chest flattening with 1 to 2 weeks of initial downtime and 4 to 6 weeks of compression garment wear. In the UK, typical treatment costs range from £2,500 to £5,500 depending on surgical complexity. Non-surgical alternatives (such as fat dissolvers or cryolipolysis) cannot break down glandular tissue and carry significant risks of chest contour asymmetry.
