Gynaecomastia
What is it?
Gynaecomastia is the development of breast gland tissue in men. Surgical treatment often combines liposuction and removal of the gland through a small incision.
Who is it for?
It is intended for men bothered by breast volume, after looking for a medical cause if necessary.
How it is done
Consultation, examination, possible tests; procedure as a day case.
Anaesthesia
General anaesthesia or local anaesthesia with sedation depending on the case.
Recovery
A compression garment is worn for a few weeks; sport is resumed gradually.
The result
The chest is flatter within the first weeks; the result settles within a few months.
Risks
Like any procedure, this one carries risks that are rare but real (infection, haematoma, healing problems, asymmetry, reaction to anaesthesia...). They are explained in detail during the consultation, with written information.
Frequently asked questions
Is the scar visible?
It is usually placed at the edge of the areola and becomes discreet over time.
How long between the consultation and the procedure?
For cosmetic surgery, French law requires a reflection period of at least 15 days after the detailed quote is given.
Where does the procedure take place?
The consultation takes place at the practice, 11 rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, 75008 Paris. Surgical procedures are performed in an authorised facility.
I live abroad: how should I organise my trip?
Contact the practice by phone or e-mail. A first consultation in Paris is required; then plan for the 15-day reflection period and stay long enough after the procedure for the first follow-up visits.
