TREATMENT
Male breast reduction
At Avané Clinic in Nairobi, we offer male breast reduction surgery to address gynaecomastia, a condition where one or both breasts are abnormally enlarged. This procedure is designed to remove excess breast tissue, whether due to hormonal imbalances or significant weight loss. Our skilled surgeons aim to enhance your body contour and restore confidence by providing a tailored approach to achieve natural-looking results.
How does male breast reduction work?
Male breast reduction at Avané Clinic involves a detailed surgical process typically performed under general anaesthetic, although local anaesthetic with sedation may be used in some cases. The procedure includes making incisions around the nipple, removing excess fatty tissue using a scalpel or liposuction, and possibly repositioning the nipples if substantial tissue removal is required. The surgery takes about 1.5 hours, with a hospital stay of approximately one night.
What to expect during male breast reduction?
During your male breast reduction surgery at Avané Clinic, you can expect a thorough and personalised approach. The procedure involves making precise incisions, removing excess tissue, and repositioning the nipples if necessary. Post-surgery, you will experience some swelling, bruising, and soreness, which are normal. You will be provided with a compression garment to support your chest during recovery and will need to follow specific aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing.
What are the results and benefits of male breast reduction?
The results of male breast reduction at Avané Clinic are typically highly satisfying, with many patients achieving a flatter, more contoured chest. The procedure effectively reduces the size of enlarged breasts, leading to improved body proportions and increased confidence. While it can take up to six months to see the final results, patients often report feeling more comfortable and self-assured in their appearance.
