What is gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia is the excess development of tissue in the male chest. It can be mainly glandular, fatty (pseudogynecomastia) or mixed, and for many men it affects confidence when removing a shirt or wearing fitted clothing. Surgery removes the excess gland and fat to achieve a flat, natural-looking chest.
Technique and planning
Depending on the predominant component, liposuction of the fat is combined with direct removal of the gland through a discreet peri-areolar incision. When there is significant excess skin, its correction is assessed. The goal is a natural male contour that preserves nipple sensation.
- Liposuction of the fatty component
- Gland removal through a peri-areolar approach
- Skin-excess correction in advanced cases
Who is a good candidate?
Men with stable gynecomastia, in good health and with realistic expectations. The consultation rules out an active hormonal or medication-related cause, since treating the origin is part of a lasting result.

Frequently asked questions
Can gynecomastia come back?
If the gland is removed and there is no active hormonal or medication-related cause, the result is usually lasting. Significant weight gain can change the contour.
What scar does it leave?
When only liposuction is needed, tiny puncture marks remain. If gland is removed, the scar sits at the areolar border and usually becomes very discreet.
Is it outpatient surgery?
In many cases yes, under general anesthesia or sedation. The consultation defines the safest anesthetic plan for each person.
