Gynecomastia surgery — what to ask.

Gynaecomastia is when males have larger breasts than usual. Surgery may be considered if other treatments have not helped.

    How many of this exact procedure do you do a year?

  3. 03

    Where is the surgery performed, and is that setting CQC-registered?

    Who administers the anaesthetic, and what overnight care is available?
