Gallery breast
Gynecomastia, the development of excess breast tissue in men, is far more common than many realise, and this gallery shows how male breast reduction surgery can restore a flatter, firmer, more masculine chest contour. Every result was achieved by Mr Paul Wilson at Northwood Hospital in Bristol and is shared with patient consent.
Gynecomastia can affect men of any age and arises for a range of reasons, including hormonal changes, genetics, certain medications and weight fluctuation. Whatever the cause, the effect is often the same: self-consciousness about the appearance of the chest, reluctance to remove a shirt, and avoidance of situations such as swimming or the gym. Male breast reduction addresses this by removing the excess glandular tissue and, where appropriate, fat, to flatten and recontour the chest. In the before and after images here, notice how the fullness across the chest is reduced and how a firmer, more defined masculine shape emerges.
The surgical approach depends on what is driving the appearance. Where the problem is predominantly firm glandular tissue, this is excised directly. Where excess fat is a significant component, liposuction may be used to refine the contour. In many cases a combination of both produces the best result. Mr Wilson examines the chest, considers the balance of gland and fat, and plans an operation tailored to each individual, with incisions placed discreetly, often around the edge of the areola, so that scarring is designed to be as inconspicuous as possible.
What patients frequently describe after this surgery is not only a physical change but a psychological one: the freedom to wear fitted clothing, take part in activities they had avoided, and feel comfortable without a shirt. The results in this gallery reflect the restoration of a natural, masculine chest. As with any surgery, some images show patients at earlier stages of recovery, as swelling settles and the final contour becomes clear.
Every case of gynecomastia is different, and it is important to have realistic expectations. The amount of tissue removed, skin quality and individual healing all influence the outcome, and in some cases skin tightening may also be a consideration. Mr Wilson discusses openly what the surgery can achieve for your particular chest, and whether any underlying causes should be investigated first.
Male breast reduction is a surgical procedure that carries risks, and suitability is confirmed only after a personal assessment. These photographs illustrate the kind of natural, masculine result Mr Wilson works towards rather than a guaranteed outcome for every patient.
If enlarged or puffy chest tissue is a source of self-consciousness for you, this gallery offers a realistic and reassuring reference. To discuss gynecomastia surgery and arrange a confidential consultation with Mr Paul Wilson at Northwood Hospital, Bristol, contact Paul Wilson Aesthetics.
Essentially and without doubt Mr Wilson did what he said he was going to do.
I have no regrets whatsoever.
I just wanted to say thank you to Paul Wilson and his whole team for the amazing work he did with my breast augmentation and dermal fillers!
I can’t be happier.
Would without a doubt recommend Paul Wilson.
He is totally honest, doesn’t overpromise and is realistic of what outcome you can expect.
Aftercare was brilliant too.
Paul is a genuine, friendly and caring person.
I felt in very good hands.
He explained everything fully and was there every step of the way, including after the procedure.
I had been to see a handful of surgeons but none really made me feel as positive about the results as Paul, he made me feel at ease.
A I am so happy with the results! So glad I went ahead.
The outcome of the surgery is absolutely life changing and I can actually look in the mirror now at my stomach.
Would without a doubt recommend Paul Wilson.
Just a quick note to say thank you to both you and Paul for everything.
Dealing with you has been a pleasure and Paul has been wonderful.
Just a quick note to say thank you to both you and Paul for everything.
I’ve felt completely at ease throughout the whole process and couldn’t be happier with the results.

VASER liposuction or traditional liposuction? It’s a question we’re asked a lot.
Both can be effective options for removing unwanted fat and improving body shape, but they work in different ways. VASER uses ultrasound energy before the fat is removed and can allow for more detailed contouring. Traditional liposuction may be more suitable when larger areas or volumes need to be treated.
There isn’t one option that is right for everyone. Your anatomy, skin quality, treatment area and the result you’re hoping to achieve all need to be considered.
During your consultation, Mr Paul Wilson will talk you through the options and recommend the approach best suited to you.

Preservation rhinoplasty is about refining the nose while preserving its natural character and key structures where appropriate.
This lovely patient is 29 years old and is now 18 months post surgery. Her result shows a smoother bridge and a more refined tip, creating a softer, more balanced profile while keeping everything in harmony with her face.
Most importantly, she’s delighted with her result.

Before and immediately after preservation rhinoplasty.
These operating-theatre photographs show the change in profile directly after surgery. The bridge has been carefully refined while maintaining a natural shape that remains in keeping with the rest of the face.
Preservation rhinoplasty uses techniques designed to retain as much of the nose’s natural structure as possible while making the planned changes to its shape.
At this stage, swelling is already present and will continue to change during recovery, so this should not be viewed as the final result.
As with any rhinoplasty, the surgical plan is tailored to the individual patient’s anatomy and the changes they would like to achieve.

A refreshed, natural result at six months.
This lovely 69-year-old patient came to see me hoping to improve the signs of ageing around her eyes, cheeks, jawline and neck, while still looking like herself.
She underwent a face and neck lift, upper and lower eyelid blepharoplasty, dermal fat grafting to the upper eyelids to improve hollowing, and silicone cheek implants to add support through the mid-face.
At her six-month review, she was delighted with the outcome, and I am very pleased with how naturally everything has settled.

A change in volume, while still keeping the result in proportion.
Breast augmentation is about much more than simply choosing a size. Implant width, profile and projection are all considered alongside the patient’s existing breast tissue, chest width and personal preferences.
The aim for this patient was to add volume and upper pole fullness while creating a shape that complemented her frame.
Every patient is different, which is why every surgical plan is individual.

Choosing to have surgery is a big decision, so feeling listened to and supported throughout the process really matters.
Thank you to this patient for taking the time to share such kind feedback about her body contouring experience with Paul and the team. It is always lovely to know that a patient felt informed, reassured and in safe hands from their first consultation onwards.

Two different operations, planned to create one balanced result.
This lovely patient came to see me with significant developmental breast asymmetry and a tuberous breast appearance. It had understandably affected her confidence, particularly when choosing bras and swimwear.
Her aim was for both breasts to look and feel as similar as possible. As each breast required a different approach, the surgery was carefully planned to achieve a more balanced result.
The surgical plan:
◽ Left breast: subfascial augmentation using a 315cc Silimed silicone implant
◽ Right breast: augmentation and reduction mastopexy using a 225cc implant, with 375g of breast tissue removed
I always explain that improving breast shape means accepting scars. These will continue to settle with time.
At six months, I am very pleased with the balance we have achieved and, most importantly, she is delighted with her result.

Made it to Northwood on two wheels this morning 🚴♂️
Most of the team here are quite used to seeing me arrive by bike. I cycle into work whenever I can, as it’s a great way to enjoy some fresh air, fit in a little exercise and start the day feeling energised.
Now for a quick change out of the Lycra and on with the working day!

A result worth revisiting.
Photographed just over two months following a deep plane facelift and neck lift, this result shows a fresher, more supported appearance without changing the patient’s character.
The surgery addressed the cheeks, early jowling and neck, creating a smoother transition through the lower face and jawline.
With the patient’s short hairstyle, the area around the ears is particularly visible, making the discreet appearance of the incisions an important part of this result.
The aim of facelift surgery is not to create a different face. It is to help the patient look refreshed while still looking like themselves.

Choosing a surgeon for rhinoplasty involves more than considering the procedure itself. Experience, surgical approach, aftercare and the wider clinical team all form part of the decision.
Mr Wilson has more than 30 years of experience in facial surgery, including extensive experience in rhinoplasty. His practice has evolved from structural rhinoplasty to also incorporating preservation techniques, allowing the surgical plan to be adapted according to the patient’s anatomy and individual concerns.
A significant proportion of his rhinoplasty practice also involves secondary or revision surgery. These procedures are often more complex because the nasal structure may have already been altered by previous surgery, making careful assessment and detailed planning particularly important.
Patients undergoing surgery at Northwood Hospital are supported by an experienced surgical, anaesthetic and nursing team throughout their treatment journey. From the initial consultation and pre-operative assessment to surgery and long-term follow-up, the aim is to provide continuity of care within one clinical setting.
Ultimately, choosing a rhinoplasty surgeon is a personal decision. Patients should feel comfortable asking about experience, techniques, expected outcomes, limitations, risks and aftercare before deciding whether to proceed.
