Regain your confidence and masculinity with gynecomastia surgery
Gynecomastia is the abnormal development of mammary glands in men, resulting in an increase in breast size. This breast enlargement, which is often a source of self-consciousness, can be caused by hormonal imbalance, medication, or fat accumulation (adipomastia).
At the Phenicia Clinic in Marseille, our specialized plastic surgeons offer personalized treatments to effectively correct this aesthetic problem, restoring a flat, masculine, and harmonious appearance to the chest .
The different techniques for treating gynecomastia
The choice of technique depends on the type of gynecomastia (glandular, fatty, or mixed), the volume to be removed, and the quality of the skin.
Our surgeons may offer:
Liposuction (or liposuction)
Breast reduction surgery
Removes the enlarged mammary gland through a small, discreet incision around the areola.
Vaser liposuction
Ultrasound-assisted liposuction, ideal for precisely sculpting the torso and improving overall firmness.
Cryolipolysis
A non-surgical alternative that uses cold to reduce fat deposits in the chest area.
Each patient undergoes a comprehensive assessment prior to any procedure in order to tailor the technique to their body type and aesthetic expectations.
How the gynecomastia procedure is performed
Gynecomastia surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia and lasts between 1 and 2 hours.
The plastic surgeon begins by liposuctioning the fatty tissue, then removes the mammary gland if necessary. The incisions are discreet, often hidden around the areola.
A compression bandage or compression vest is then applied to promote healing and maintain the new contour of the chest.
The postoperative effects are minor: bruising and temporary swelling may occur during the first few weeks. Patients can return to work after 7 to 10 days, but should avoid sports for about 1 month.
How long is the recovery time for gynecomastia?
The final result is visible after 2 to 3 months, once the skin has retracted naturally.
Patients who have undergone surgery at the Phenicia Clinic in Marseille report a marked improvement in their self-confidence, with a flat chest and a more masculine appearance.
The scars are fine and become virtually invisible over time.
Our surgeons provide rigorous post-operative follow-up, ensuring safety and high-quality results.
