A. Thank you very much for your enquiry. The answer is yes. Gynecomastia treatment is normally available on the NHS but this really depends on the region you live in and the local regulations.I think it would be worthwhile talking to your GP to discuss whether this treatment would be available to you.If it is not available and treatment our costs start at approximately 2000 pounds and would involve a Vaser liposuction. This is the most effective way of treating excessive male breast tissue.If you have no luck yet with your GP in NHS, I would be more than happy to see you for a free consultation and you could schedule this by ringing 01844-214362.Many thanks for your enquiry. I look forward to seeing you in the near future if you do decide to proceed with an appointment. Best wishes.

A. If gynaecomastia is because of deposition of excess fat on the front of the chest wall then only liposuction is required. The total cost is from £3000/. If gynaecomastia is because of deposition of fatty and non-fatty tissue then it may require liposuction assisted open excision. In such cases, the total cost ranges from £3500/.

A. Thank you for your enquiry. He has indeed, revision surgery is possible for gynaecomastia correction, and it tends to be much easier to remove more tissue than to correct an over resection.  I think in this respect, your surgeon has made the right choice in being cautious, although nobody wants to have repeat surgery and I can easily understand your disappointment.

A. Treatment for the gynaecomastia is proportionate to the degree of laxity (droop) of the chest tissues, as well as to would be amount and texture of breast tissue.  When the breast tissue is very firm, it is difficult to corrected with liposuction, and sometimes of the reshaping involved will be insufficient unless there is also a small access incision to take away some of the firm breast tissue.My approach at present is to use radio-frequency assisted liposuction (Bodytite) to the breast and lateral part of the chest wall in part because it facilitates treatment of the firm breast tissue, and in part because it leads to a degree of tightening of the skin and improved definition of the chest contours.However, it is necessary to have a proper consultation in order to define the characteristics of the problem, and with it the type of surgery that it involves.  In many cases, I tell patients that I will start with the liposuction, which will provide the majority of the contouring, but if the degree of correction appears insufficient at the end of the liposuction, I will completed with a small (2.5 cm) incision inside the nipple areola complex, to remove the breast tissue which has not been sutured be corrected.The treatment cost is in the area of £3500 as a day case procedure.
