Gynecomastia is more common than most men realise — and more affecting
than most are willing to say. The embarrassment, the gym avoided, the
shirts chosen to conceal rather than express. Mr. Marcellino understands
this precisely. His approach begins not with the surgical plan, but with
understanding the origin of the condition — because the right procedure
can only follow from the right diagnosis.
Mr. Marcellino is a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of England (FRCS) and is listed on the GMC Specialist Register for Plastic Surgery. With more than 15,000 procedures performed and 75 peer-reviewed scientific publications, his experience is a matter of public record — not a claim that needs to be taken on trust.
In the majority of cases, Mr. Marcellino corrects gynecomastia through liposuction — removing excess fat and glandular tissue without. large incisions. Where skin laxity is a factor, he uses Renuvion technology to achieve skin retraction, avoiding the extensive scarring associated
with conventional breast-reduction techniques. The outcome: a uniform chest with natural lines.
The procedure takes approximately one hour under general anaesthesia and does not require an overnight stay. Stitches are removed aroundday seven. From the fourth week, the final result begins to take shape: a more defined, proportionate chest — and, for many patients, a meaningful restoration of the confidence that gynecomastia had quietly taken away.
A personal, supported experience from your first message to your final follow-up.
Your first appointment is a dedicated conversation. Mr. Marcellino will assess whether your gynecomastia is driven by glandular tissue, excess fat, or a combination of both —because the origin determines the approach. He will explain the procedure best suited to your anatomy, the results that are realistically achievable, and the risks involved. No obligation to proceed.
Performed under general anaesthesia at The London Welbeck Hospital. In the majority of cases, Mr. Marcellino addresses gynecomastia through liposuction using specialist cannulas — removing excess fat and, where required, glandular tissue in a single procedure. Where skin laxity is present, Renuvion technology is used to promote retraction without large incisions. You are discharged the same day.
Following surgery, a compression garment is worn for approximately three weeks to support the chest during healing. Three days of rest are recommended; stitches are removed around day seven. From the fourth week, the final result begins to emerge: a uniform chest with natural lines, a body that feels proportionate, and a degree of ease that — for many patients —has been a long time coming.

No, it can also occur on a teenage boy. In these cases gynecomastia disappears with age, which is why I advise against proceeding with the operation and waiting for the boy to grow up.
