| Gynaecomastia (Male Breast) Click for Fact Sheet Male cosmetic surgery has been on the increase over the last 5 years and the condition of Gynaecomastia can be embarrassing to most men who have it. Excess fat cells and glands in the chest area create a female breast appearance. This can be treated by either liposculpture to remove the fat cells, or by a combination of liposculpture and glandular reduction. Both techniques are very successful and promote self-confidence in all men that suffer with the condition. Gynaecomastia at Castlefield Clinic is carried out under local anaesthetic with sedation which minimises the risks normally associated with a general anaesthetic. The technique of anaesthesia also means that there is less bruising and a quicker recovery time with no need for an over night stay.
