Gynecomastia (Man Boobs) surgery

The word gynecomastia comes from the Greek words ‘gyne’ meaning woman and ‘mastia’ meaning breast, the more common term and certainly easier to pronounce is simply man boobs.  Amazingly a huge number (90%) of boys develop fatty tissue around the chest during puberty, in most cases the problem resolves with maturity. However for 10% of these boys the problem persists into adult hood.

The severity can vary from a slight fatty look around the chest, to an appearance more akin to a female chest. Naturally this can be very distressing for men and can often be a closely guarded secret, which can erode sexual confidence.

At Transform we have treated hundreds of men with this condition and successfully removed unwanted fatty tissue around the chest area creating a much improved and defined male chest shape.
