Surgical
Augmentation Mammoplasty (Breast Augmentation)
A surgical procedure to increase breast volume by placing breast implants beneath the breast tissue or chest muscle.
Gynaecomastia is a benign condition that involves the enlargement of breast tissue in males. In some cases, excess fat in the chest area may also contribute to its appearance. Surgery to address it, sometimes referred to as male breast reduction, is available at Shape Clinic in Sydney.
Potential contributing factors can include, but are not limited to:
If you notice changes in your breast tissue or have concerns about symptoms, it is important to seek advice from a qualified health practitioner for assessment and guidance on appropriate management options.
Treatment for gynaecomastia typically involves the surgical removal of excess breast tissue and, in some cases, fatty deposits.
For some individuals, liposuction may be used to remove fat in the chest area. In other cases, a combination of liposuction and direct removal of breast gland tissue may be required. This is often performed through a small incision around the edge of the areola (the darker skin surrounding the nipple).
Individual recovery experiences and results vary. A consultation with specialist plastic surgeon Dr Ania Smialkowski (MED0001668109, FRACS) at our Sydney clinic is necessary to discuss your specific circumstances, potential risks, and expected recovery process.

Scarring is a normal part of any surgical procedure that involves incisions. The visibility of scars can vary based on factors such as healing response, surgical technique, and post-operative care. While incisions are often made around the edge of the areola to help conceal scarring, scarring varies between individuals, and your surgeon will discuss what to expect based on the technique appropriate for you.
