Gynecomastia
Gynecomastia is a benign condition characterized by excessive development of the male breast gland. This male breast enlargement can be a source of significant psychological distress. Gynecomastia surgery, now well-established and effective, can correct this excess breast volume and restore a harmonious male chest.

Procedure of the Intervention
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and lasts between one and one and a half hours. Depending on the type of gynecomastia, the surgeon will perform liposuction to remove excess fat (adipomastia) and/or glandular excision through a small, discreet periareolar incision to remove breast tissue. The two techniques are often combined for optimal results. The procedure is completed by applying a compression dressing or a compression garment.
Post-operative monitoring and recovery
Simple after-effects with moderate pain (similar to muscle soreness). Compression garment to be worn for 4 to 6 weeks. Swelling and bruising to subside in 2 to 3 weeks. 5 to 10 days off work. Resumption of sports activities after 4 to 6 weeks.
Expected Results
The first results are visible immediately after the swelling subsides. The final result can be assessed after 3-6 months. The results are permanent because the removed glandular tissue does not regenerate. However, significant weight gain can lead to the re-establishment of excess fat.
