The Cranley Clinic Process

Consultation & Planning

You’ll meet with a senior consultant in a calm, judgement-free environment. We’ll explore your concerns, assess your suitability, and explain every aspect of the procedure and recovery in detail.

Pre-Operative Preparation

If proceeding, we’ll arrange pre-operative assessments and provide detailed guidance. We ensure you’re fully informed and confident at every step.

The Procedure

Gynecomastia correction is carried out in our state-of-the-art surgical suite, using precise excision, liposuction, or a combination of both techniques to sculpt a balanced, masculine chest.

Recovery & Aftercare

You’ll return home the same day with a compression garment and full instructions. Our aftercare team will monitor your recovery closely.

Recovery Timeline

Final results are visible after a few weeks once swelling has subsided. We offer follow-up reviews and support to ensure your outcome meets expectations.

Clinical Insight

Gynecomastia Considerations, Clinically Addressed

What causes Gynecomastia?

Common causes include hormonal imbalances, certain medications, genetic predisposition, or weight changes. It’s more common than many realise, and highly treatable.

Will there be visible scarring?

Incisions are typically made around the areola or under the chest fold, making scars barely visible over time. Our techniques focus on subtlety and discretion.

Is the fat likely to return?

If glandular tissue is removed and stable body weight is maintained, the results are long-lasting. Significant weight gain or hormonal changes could alter the outcome.

What’s the difference between liposuction and gland removal?

Liposuction removes fatty tissue, while gland removal addresses firm glandular tissue. Often, a combination of both is used for the best result.

Will my chest look natural?

Yes. Our surgical planning prioritises proportional, masculine contours that suit your body shape — avoiding an overdone or obvious appearance.

The treatment I had at the Cranley Clinic was excellent. Mr Ali Ghanem is clearly an expert in his field. He also has an exceptionally warm personality which puts you at ease straight away. The treatment is amazing but subtle. Everyone on the Cranley team, whom I met and spoke with at various times, were really lovely; I can highly recommend both the Clinic and of course Mr Ghanem.
