Gynecomastia

Effective surgical correction for a firm, masculine chest.

Gynecomastia typically involves the hypertrophy of fat and glandular breast tissue in men, often appearing during puberty. In 98% of cases, there is no underlying hormonal disorder; rather, it is the result of a temporary hormonal imbalance during the developmental years when the sexes begin to differentiate.

THE PROCEDURE

Correction is achieved surgically. Depending on the ratio of fat to glandular tissue, the surgeon will recommend either liposuction, glandular excision, or a combination of both.

In most cases, a small semi-circular incision is made at the lower half of the areola. The areola is carefully lifted, and the excess glandular tissue is removed to create a flat, contoured chest.

APPLICATION & SKIN LAXITY

In cases where significant skin laxity is present, a circular incision is made around the areola (periareolar incision). This allows for simultaneous skin tightening and breast lifting to ensure a smooth, firm result.

SURGICAL INFORMATION

ANESTHESIA
Typically performed under local anesthesia, often combined with sedation (twilight anesthesia) for patient comfort.
HOSPITAL STAY
Patients can usually return home within a few hours or, at most, stay for one day.
POST-OPERATIVE CARE
A specialized compression garment is worn for approximately 10 days. This vest is discreet under clothing. Sutures are typically removed at the 10-day mark.
RESULTS
The chest takes its final shape within 4 to 6 months, once all swelling has fully subsided. In the vast majority of cases, scars fade significantly. Since most men have chest hair, any traces of the surgery become virtually invisible after six months.

ADVANTAGES OF THE PROCEDURE

Masculine Profile: Restores a natural, flat, and athletic chest appearance.
Permanent Results: Once the glandular tissue is removed, it does not grow back.
Boosted Confidence: Allows for fitted clothing and shirtless activities without feelings of shame or discomfort.
Dual Action: Effectively addresses both fatty deposits and firm glandular tissue.
Minimal Downtime: A straightforward recovery process with a quick return to daily routines.
