Natural, masculine results
Experienced plastic surgeons
Discreet, safe environment
A modern solution to a disturbing site
Many men experience a disturbing bulge around the breasts that does not respond to exercise or diet. This phenomenon is often hormonal and not due to body fat percentage.
Yet most people seek a solution not because of their medical background, but because of the psychological burden: embarrassment at the beach, in the changing room, while playing sports or simply in a tight T-shirt. The discomfort can also affect your self-confidence over time.
Comfort and confidence inside and out
Modern plastic surgery gives you the chance to have a flat, masculine chest again. The procedure at Saint James Clinic will help restore your body's natural proportions and self-confidence. The results will be long-lasting and natural: most of our patients report a significant sense of liberation.

Process
This is how a gynecomastia correction is performed at Saint James Clinic
Every step of the intervention is designed to ensure discretion, safety and comfort. Our aim is to ensure that the process is predictable and transparent from the first consultation to full recovery.
01 / Consultation and planning
At the first appointment, our surgeon will examine the chest structure, the ratio of glandular to fatty tissue, and discuss the patient's goals. During the consultation, all details are clarified: surgical options, expected results, recovery time and financing options.
02 / Preparation and medical examinations
Before the operation, you will be given a full check-up: laboratory, ECG and internal medicine. Avoidance of smoking and alcohol is recommended, and any medication taken, especially blood thinners, should be discussed. All details are organised in advance to ensure a smooth day of surgery.
03 / Intervention with our experienced surgeons
Correction of the gynecomastia is performed under general anaesthesia and usually takes 1-2 hours. The surgeon removes excess glandular and fatty tissue through small, hidden incisions, restoring the breasts to a flat and proportionate shape. After the procedure, our patients relax in a premium room with proper medical supervision and a discreet environment for comfort.
04 / Recovery, control, aftercare
After the surgery, a compression vest is recommended for 4-6 weeks to help the tissues to settle and take their final shape. Avoidance of physical exertion is recommended for the first few weeks, with gradual movement guided by a doctor. Follow-up visits will be made to monitor all stages of healing. The result will be aesthetic, safe and long-lasting.

Reviews
Our patients' experiences show the the true power of achievement
Male breast correction also brings changes in self-confidence and quality of life. Our patients' stories show the impact that a well-chosen procedure can have on their daily life and self-esteem.
Common misconceptions and myths about gynaecomastia surgery
Male breast correction is a sensitive subject, often misunderstood or judged on the basis of misinformation. In our experience, the most common concerns are easy to clarify.
Is the procedure painful?
The operation is performed under general anaesthesia, so there is no pain. During the recovery period, there may be some slight tension or tightness, which is relieved with medication.
Can the gland or the fat grow back?
The surgical result is permanent. The removed glandular and fatty tissue does not regenerate, but weight changes or hormonal imbalances can affect the long-term shape.
Will the scar show?
Incisions are made in a discreet place, around the nipple or in the lower fold. The scars fade over time and are not normally noticeable.
Is it embarrassing to do this as a man?
On the contrary: in recent years, more and more men are opting for surgery, taking a health-conscious and responsible approach to their bodies. A discreet, safe environment and medical expertise help make this a natural choice.

Questions and answers
Frequently asked questions about the correction of gynecomastia
Male breast enlargement is a sensitive issue for many people, so it is important to be fully informed before making a decision. Here are answers to the most common questions based on the experience of our plastic surgeons.
Is the operation painful?
The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia, so there is no pain. During the healing period, there may be a slight pulling or pressure sensation, which is relieved with medication.
How long is the recovery?
Most patients return to daily activities after 1-2 weeks. Sports and heavy physical work are recommended to be resumed after 4-6 weeks, after medical approval, to ensure full tissue recovery.
Are there any visible scars?
The incisions are made around the nipple or in the lower fold and are therefore well hidden. The scars fade over time and become almost imperceptible.
How durable is the result?
The results of surgery are long-term. The glandular and fatty tissue does not grow back, but hormonal changes and weight loss can affect the shape of the chest.
When can you start playing sport again?
Light exercise is possible after about 2-3 weeks, but intensive exercise or weight lifting is not recommended until after 6 weeks to allow the tissues to fully strengthen.
Can I get an instalment payment or financial assistance?
Yes, Saint James Clinic offers the option of instalment payments and individual scheduling. Our patient coordinator will help you to set up the exact arrangement with complete discretion.
Can you tell I had surgery?
The goal is always a natural, masculine result. The skin will be firmer and the chest more proportionate, but the traces of the procedure will not be noticeable to the outside eye.
Is the surgery safe?
Gynecomastia correction is performed by experienced surgeons under modern anaesthesia and sterile conditions. The procedure is well documented, safe and complications are rare.
How discreet is the care?
At Saint James Clinic, all consultations and procedures are carried out in complete confidentiality. Patient privacy and medical confidentiality are paramount.
Does it affect hormone balance or muscle development?
No, the surgery only involves the removal of excess glandular and fatty tissue, the muscles are not affected. The hormone balance is not affected and the chest muscles can continue to exercise after recovery.
