Gynaecomastia
breast correction for men
If a man's mammary gland enlarges to such an extent that it looks like a female breast, this is known as gynaecomastia. As a rule, both breasts are affected, more rarely just one side. Physical complaints such as pain or hypersensitivity of the nipple are rare. In most cases, the psychological stress caused by the feminised appearance of the breasts takes centre stage. Wearing loose clothing, changing posture, avoiding appearing in public with a bare upper body (e.g. swimming pool visits etc.) - these are all typical behavioural changes to conceal male breasts. Sporting activities are also often avoided. A breast correction can help here and improve your quality of life. In some cases, health insurance companies will cover or contribute to the treatment costs, provided an application has been submitted and approved in writing beforehand.
As an award-winning specialist with many years of experience in the field of breast surgery, I will be happy to advise you, carry out the procedure according to the latest scientific findings and ensure a natural and beautiful result;

Development of gynaecomastia
Reasons for the development of male breasts can be hormonal fluctuations or hypersensitivity of the glandular tissue during puberty. In old age, many men tend to develop gynaecomastia due to the higher oestrogen content. In most cases, this is a "pseudogynaecomastia", a pure accumulation of fat without enlargement of the mammary gland, which can be easily removed by liposuction.
The procedure is performed in Munich at the ATOS Clinic, where my practice is also located.

Breast correction - an option for me?
In principle, surgery on male breasts makes sense if the quality of life is significantly restricted by psychological suffering or physical limitations or discomfort. In the course of puberty, gynaecomastia often disappears on its own, so that the indication for surgery should be made with caution. In severe cases, gynaecomastia surgery can also be performed during puberty after individual consultation.

What the patients say ...
Prof Holm Mühlbauer is a very competent and experienced doctor. I have already had several outpatient procedures performed by her and she has also operated on me twice. I am very satisfied with the results. She advises and explains everything and answers every question. A top doctor! I can only recommend her to anyone.
I also have to say that the team at the O.P. was great and Mrs Fischer at reception is incredibly friendly and helpful anyway. You feel very welcome in the practice.
I had a breast augmentation 3 months ago with Prof. Dr Holm Mühlbauer and the result is great!
Mrs Prof. Dr Holm Mühlbauer gave me perfect advice on size so that it fits my body, I felt very well looked after and would always have it done there again.
Everything healed perfectly and I am more than satisfied.
I came across Prof Dr Holm-Mühlbauer through a recommendation from another doctor and immediately felt that I was receiving extremely competent advice. Before, during and after the breast augmentation, I could not have been better looked after by Dr Holm-Mühlbauer and her practice team.
The well-being of the patient is absolutely the focus here. Prof. Holm-Mühlbauer even came in on her day off just for me to remove the drainage.
The result of the operation is simply perfect + beautiful!

Sympathetic and professional experienced doctor,
I am very grateful to her and glad that I am in surgery with her. Best
I had a face and neck lift and an upper eyelid lift with Prof Dr Charlotte Holm Mühlbauer and the result was simply sensational.
I look young, fresh and not operated on. Just as it should be.
I didn't have any pain, but you have to be prepared for haematomas and swelling. But don't worry, this is normal and will be broken down by the body.
Professor Dr Charlotte Holm Mühlbauer is the best, both professionally and personally.
Her practice manager Sabine Fischer is always very friendly and helpful.
All the staff at the clinic who looked after me were caring and competent.
My husband is also delighted with the result.
I had my first experience with Dr Charlotte Holm Müllbauer 5 years ago. I came for the first time for a lip treatment. She was very professional and friendly at the same time. My lips were well done, I didn't have much swelling
🙏🏻 I was satisfied every time, but have since changed my doctor because the clinic in Effnerstr. is difficult for me to reach.
Friendly and very professional doctor!
I like going to her, the result is always natural!
I had a breast reduction with Prof Dr Charlotte Holm-Mühlbauer and I am delighted with the result. The reduction and lift turned out better than I had imagined. The result is natural and significantly firmer, fine scars that are barely visible and no pain after the operation. I am more than happy with the result. The entire team at the Atos Clinic is simply wonderful and always friendly and courteous. I have always had difficulties with circulation and nausea after general anaesthesia. At the Atos Clinic I had no complaints for the first time. From the initial consultation to the last follow-up examination, Prof Dr Holm-Mühlbauer and the practice team make you feel very well looked after and accepted. They are committed to their patients and are always at your side. I can only recommend Prof Dr Holm Mühlbauer to anyone.

Prof Dr Mühlbauer-Holm is a very good, experienced and empathetic doctor! I was already "under her knife" several times in her Bogenhausen days.
I owe it to her skill that my face is now very satisfactory again after I had to have a wing of my nose removed due to a basal cell carcinoma. Thank you very much for that!

Äußert professionelle Betreuung und Abwicklung. Für mich war es die erste OP im „kosmetischen“ Bereich. Die OP verlief reibungslos. Der Heilungsverlauf war sehr schnell und unkompliziert. Kurz nach der OP war das sehr gute Ergebnis und die professionelle Arbeit von Frau Prof. Holm-Mühlbauer deutlich erkennbar. Das Ergebnis ist sehr natürlich. Hier kenne ich andere Ergebnisse.
Frau Prof. Holm-Mühlbauer macht das mit einem Fachwissen und einer Kompetenz die man suchen muss. Ich bin froh, Frau Prof. Holm-Mühlbauer kennengelernt zu haben.
Die Assistentin von Frau Prof. Holm-Mühlbauer ist eine Perle. Herzlich, freundlich und fröhlich …
Professor Holm-Mühlbauer was recommended to me for a facelift. I will always be grateful for that. The first consultation, the inpatient stay and the subsequent aftercare were characterised by a professional and charming manner that you will rarely find in the medical field, but which is crucial for the necessary trust.
The result of the operation was simply great - natural and yet with a resounding result.
I would recommend this address to all my friends and acquaintances.
