Male Breast Reduction

You must be at least 20 years of age to have elective surgery in Thailand. Patients under the age of 20 years need to provide a signed Consent Form from their parent/guardian if the surgeon accepts the case.

We can secure priority appointments for our clients subject to the surgeon’s availability. However it is best to request an appointment well in advance so that the surgeon can advise you about the steps to take before coming for surgery.

The procedure takes about 1-2 hours under general anaesthetic.

Commonly, the incisions are referred to as an inverted “T”. One incision extends vertically from the bottom to the areola to an intersecting horizontal incision. The size and placement of incisions depends upon the degree of breast tissue to be removed.

Scaring will be present where the incisions were made. These may fade to fine lines or may remain obvious after healing is completed. How your scars will appear depends on how your body heals.

1 night in hospital is required.

The surgeon usually recommends a stay of at least 12 nights in Thailand in total, (based on having surgery the day after arrival). This is to allow you time to recover and to have a follow up consultation with the surgeon and removal of sutures.

For your own safety you should observe the recommendation. Air travel presents risks such as deep vein thrombosis. To leave sooner would present an unnecessary risk. If you cannot stay the recommended time it is best not to have surgery overseas.

There are always risks in having surgery. This applies whether you have surgery overseas or at home. Risks include unfavourable scarring, bleeding or hematoma, infection, poor healing of incisions, temporary or permanent changes in nipple or breast sensation, breast contour and shape irregularities, breast asymmetry, skin discoloration, permanent pigmentation changes, swelling and bruising, damage to deeper structures such as nerves, blood vessels and muscles, tissue necrosis, fluid accumulation, excessive firmness of the breast, potential partial or total loss of nipple and areola, pain which may persist, possibility of revisional surgery and risks associated with anaesthesia. This surgery can interfere with diagnostic procedures and because of the removal of some breast tissue. This procedure may also interfere with breast feeding. Smokers may experience a delay the healing process and are at a higher risk of complications. Please talk to the surgeon about all of the risks before proceeding with surgery.

When we have your case assessed by the surgeon before you travel overseas, you may be given some specific instructions by the plastic surgeon about preparing for surgery. Generally, you will be asked to stop some medications and all vitamin supplements, alcohol and smoking. You must not stop any prescription medications without first consulting your prescribing physician or instruction from the surgeon.

The surgeon will provide post-operative care instructions at your follow up consultation.

Usually exercise and normal physical activities can resume in about 1-2 months after surgery however please ask your surgeon about this as it can vary from case to case.
