SURGERY

During the first consultation, our accredited plastic surgeon Dr Colin Tham will go through your medical reports and any previous x-rays/mammograms to assess your health condition.

Blood tests may also be ordered to check if there is any hormonal imbalance and an ultrasound can help to eliminate suspicions of abnormal growths.

Dr Tham will base his assessment from the consultation results to tailor a gynaecomastia surgery for you. This will help ensure a personalised and safe procedure with optimal results.

Dr Tham is committed to providing efficient gynaecomastia surgery using a scarless approach.

Making use of a special technique known as a pull-through excision, he is able to extract any glandular breast tissue through a much-smaller incision hidden within the areola, about 1.5cm in length.

As one of the leading doctors in VASER Lipo, Dr Tham combines this minimally-invasive technology to target the fatty tissues, delivering a truly scarless gynaecomastia surgery.

A gynaecomastia procedure is a painless day surgery performed under local anaesthesia and sedation. Some swelling and bruising is to be expected, and the pain can be managed with oral painkillers.

You will be required to wear a pressure garment for 2 weeks, which aids in reducing the swelling while sculpting the chest into shape. Most patients return to normal daily life in 1 to 3 days; and resume physical activities in 10 days.
