Male Breast Reduction

Breast reduction mammoplasty surgery aims to alleviate physical pain and discomfort. It should only be performed by a fully qualified Specialist Plastic Surgeon, in an accredited hospital, under general anaesthetic.
Dr Drielsma is a Specialist Plastic Surgeon. He will perform your breast reduction mammoplasty operation in a fully accredited Australian hospital. He only works with appropriately qualified teams of surgical staff and anaesthetists in fully licensed facilities.
Theatre time is generally 3.5 hours, though this time varies depending on the patient and the degree of surgery the patient needs to achieve the results required.
During your procedure, Dr Drielsma will surgically remove the necessary amount of breast tissue to reduce your breast proportions and overall breast weight. Your breasts determine the amount of tissue Dr Drielsma will remove – the larger and fuller the breast, the more weight is removed.
Many patients may be concerned about their areola after breast reduction. Your nipples are moved upwards to sit higher on the breast mound and the remaining tissue is adjusted.
Dr Drielsma employs the most appropriate technique for each patient to suit your body and your needs. However, all breast reduction surgeries will take the following into account:

• Your existing breast tissue
• The size and weight of your breasts
• Position of the breast and nipple
• The health and elasticity of your breasts
• Your underlying chest muscles
• Your desired result
• Your preferred nipple size, appearance, and location
