Read moreGynecomastia: what it is and how it works
Gynecomastia, also called male breast hypertrophy, refers to an excess of breast gland and/or fat in men. Excessive breast development in a man is a combination of fat and gland, with varying proportions. This excessive development of both breasts, or just one, can appear from puberty onwards or exist from childhood.
THE PROCEDURE
The procedure consists of reducing the volume of the male chest by removing, depending on the case, excess fat through liposuction, and excess breast gland through an incision at the periphery of the areola: removal of the glandular core via the lower hemi-areolar approach.
Gynecomastia: who is it for?
Gynecomastia aims to correct the often poorly tolerated unsightly appearance of the male chest that sometimes resembles a female breast due to hypertrophy of the male mammary glands or localized fatty tissue accumulation.

What happens after treatment?
You will wear a compression dressing to maintain uniform pressure on the chest. Moderate pain may be present following the procedure and can be relieved by painkillers. Post-operative effects are mainly characterized by the appearance of edema (swelling) and ecchymosis (bruising) whose severity and duration vary from one individual to another. Bruising and edema disappear a few weeks after the procedure, as do scars. Temporary numbness may be observed at the level of the nipples.
How long do results last?
The result of gynecomastia surgery is immediate. However, the final result is generally noticeable 2 to 3 months after the procedure.
