Gynecomastia

Gynecomastia is a common condition characterized by the development of breast tissue in men, often perceived as a source of discomfort. At Clinimedspa, under the guidance of Dr. Arbour, we offer effective treatments to address this issue aesthetically and minimize its impact on the patient’s daily life.

Our approach

We understand that each case of gynecomastia is unique. That’s why Dr. Arbour takes the time to assess each patient individually, offering a personalized approach that goes beyond standard treatment. Our goal is to restore not only physical appearance but also self-confidence, using the least invasive methods possible.

Types of gynecomastia

Gynecomastia can present in various stages, each reflecting a different progression of breast tissue development in men, which can significantly affect self-confidence and psychological well-being.

Each stage of gynecomastia requires careful evaluation and a personalized approach by Dr. Arbour.

Our goal is to ensure that every man treated for gynecomastia can regain confidence in his body appearance.

Grade 1 : Initiale

At first, gynecomastia can be difficult to identify, as the early signs are often subtle. Men may experience discomfort or noticeable anxiety at the first signs, which can lead them to avoid situations where their chest would be exposed, such as at the beach or in locker rooms. Some men may even deny the presence of the issue and try to conceal it by wearing loose clothing or intensifying their physical training, hoping to reduce the appearance of their chest.

Grade 2 : Moderate

At this stage, the development of breast tissue becomes more evident, potentially giving the appearance of feminine breasts. This progression can not only influence the person’s body image but also lead to increased sensitivity and swelling of the nipples, making the wearing of certain clothes uncomfortable.

Grade 3 : Severe

In the most severe cases, the accumulation of breast tissue and chest fat is noticeable and may even develop asymmetrically. This stage may require a more complex intervention to restore a more masculine appearance to the chest, as non-surgical methods such as weight loss and exercise are insufficient to reverse the changes.

Comfort and quick recovery

Our approach

We perform liposuction gynecomastia surgery under local anesthesia with sedation, ensuring the patient’s comfort throughout the procedure. We start with liposuction around the area and free the gland. The degree of liposuction is adjusted according to the need. Then, we proceed with the excision of the gland/fibrous fat under direct vision. We finish by evening out the tissues and checking for symmetry. If necessary, we apply radiofrequency treatment to tighten the skin. In rare cases, we use drains for 5-7 days. The entire procedure is carried out through very small incisions. This method allows the patient to recover quickly and return home shortly after the procedure.

Recovery

Recovery varies but is generally brief, with most men returning to their usual activities within a few days to two weeks. For physically demanding professions, a longer rest period may be required. We advise avoiding sun exposure to protect the scars and prevent hyperpigmentation.

FAQ

Questions about gynecomastia

How to differentiate gynecomastia from lipomastia?
Gynecomastia involves the development of glandular tissue, while lipomastia is simply an accumulation of fat. A thorough evaluation by Dr. Arbour can help determine the nature of the condition and the appropriate treatment. There is almost always a glandular component involved, however.
What are the treatment options if gynecomastia reoccurs?
In rare cases of recurrence, Dr. Arbour can perform a corrective procedure. This typically involves minor adjustments under local anesthesia to ensure optimal aesthetic results.
