Love Island star Tom Powell has undergone breast reduction surgery – also known as gynecomastia surgery – and live streamed the operation for his 235,000 Instagram followers to watch. Tom, 30, found fame on the 2016 series of the popular ITV2 reality show, and used his social media platform to showcase how straightforward the operation was.Tom, a health and fitness coach, had his gynecomastia procedure at Signature Clinic’s Cardiff-based surgery, which was performed by Dr. John Skevofilax.
As per the NHS’ website, gynaecomastia (sometimes referred to as "man boobs") is a common condition that causes boys' and men's breasts to swell and become larger than normal. It is most common in teenage boys and older men. The operation is thought to have taken around 15 minutes, with Tom later branding it as being “so, so easy”.
He later thanked people for their messages of support. In a video taken post-surgery, Dr. Skevofilax allowed the former reality TV star to hold the gland he removed.
Speaking to his followers after he returned home, Tom said: “Finally back home. Might have a little nap – I’m not even tired so I’m not going to nap.” Updating them on his post-recovery, he continued: “I can’t drink any caffeine. I can’t train.
What else is there to do in life?” “I might need to learn a new language or some sh*t to keep me occupied,” Tom went on to quip. As well as avoiding caffeine and going to the gym, Tom needs to wear a compression vest for a few weeks to help control swelling and provide support.
