Kyle came to Woodland Hospital in early August for bilateral mastectomy and liposuction to treat long‑standing gynaecomastia. His journey began several months earlier, when he met with consultant Mr Thangasamy Sankar in May.
Mr Sankar is a highly experienced Consultant Plastic and Cosmetic Surgeon at Woodland Hospital. He specialises in breast reduction, cosmetic breast surgery, body contouring, liposuction and sculpting, gender breast surgery, nose reshaping, hand surgery, microsurgery, and skin cancer removal. His broad surgical expertise and calm, compassionate approach ensure patients feel informed and supported throughout their care. During Kyle’s consultation, Mr Sankar explained the procedure clearly, outlined the expected results, and answered every question with care. Kyle left feeling informed, reassured and confident that Woodlands Hospital was the right place for his treatment.
Kyle had lived with gynaecomastia for nearly twenty years. Despite trying weight loss, gym training, and medication, nothing changed. Gynaecomastia is a benign enlargement of breast gland tissue caused by an imbalance between oestrogen and testosterone, and it often has a significant impact on confidence and wellbeing. After seeking help through the NHS in January 2026, he was told that surgery would not be available, so he explored private options. Woodlands Hospital’s caring approach and clear communication stood out immediately.
On the day of his operation, Kyle arrived in the morning and underwent a two-hour procedure under general anaesthetic. He experienced some pain when he woke, which was managed quickly, and he stayed overnight for monitoring and recovery. He describes his stay as very accommodating. Staff checked on him regularly, ensured he was comfortable, and made him feel valued. He appreciated the welcoming atmosphere, the attentive nursing team, and the excellent care provided throughout. He also commented on how excellent the food was. Before being discharged the next day, he enjoyed both breakfast and lunch, which added to the positive experience of his stay.
When Kyle returned home, he tried on a dozen shirts and was delighted by the change. He feels more confident and says he finally has the chest he should always have had. He is looking forward to getting back to everyday life with renewed comfort and self-assurance.
Since leaving the hospital Kyle has also been supported by comprehensive aftercare.
Kyle’s experience reflects the commitment of Woodlands Hospital to providing personalised care, clear communication, and high-quality surgical treatment. His journey highlights how specialist support can make a meaningful difference for people living with gynaecomastia.
