Surgeons at the Teknon Group
Gynecomastia is a condition in which a man's breast tissue enlarges, causing the chest to appear more voluminous. Although in some cases it is related to excess body fat, it can also occur in men of normal weight due to hormonal or genetic factors.
Surgical treatment typically involves reducing breast volume through liposuction, which removes excess accumulated fat. When firmer glandular tissue is present, the surgeon may make a small incision around the areola to remove it and achieve a flatter, more masculine contour.
After the procedure, it is common to wear a chest compression garment for several weeks, which helps the skin adapt properly to the new shape of the chest and promotes proper healing.

Gynecomastia refers to the excessive development of male breast tissue due to hormonal imbalances, typically caused by a predominance of estrogen over testosterone. This enlargement can affect one or both breasts and may consist of glandular tissue, accumulated fat (lipomastia), or a combination of both. It can occur at different stages of life, such as in newborns, during adolescence—where it usually resolves spontaneously—or in adulthood.
In some cases, it is related to the use of medications, anabolic steroids, or other substances. When it does not resolve on its own or causes physical or emotional distress, medical treatment or surgery may be required to restore a more masculine and proportionate chest contour.
When this condition affects one or both breasts and causes aesthetic or functional discomfort, gynecomastia surgery in Barcelona may be the solution.

Depending on the technique, the incision may be made around the areola or along the axillary crease, with the aim of making it as inconspicuous as possible.
The resulting scars will depend on the type of surgery the patient needs. For example:
Gynecomastia treated with liposuction alone will leave only very small scars; these may be located on the areola or in the armpit. However, if the patient requires the removal of glandular tissue, the incision will need to be slightly larger.
Patients with severe gynecomastia, sagging breasts, and excess skin will require a procedure that leaves more visible scars. In any case, the incisions made during gynecomastia surgery are placed around the areola, in the armpit, or in the breast crease to ensure they are as inconspicuous as possible.
The results of gynecomastia surgery are permanent. However, in some cases, the breasts may regrow, although recurrence is rare.
The appropriate age for male breast reduction surgery depends on several factors, such as the patient's maturity and the size and shape of the breasts. For this reason, surgery to correct this condition is generally recommended starting at age 17 or 18.
This is because the male chest is fully developed at this stage. However, it should always be a specialist who provides recommendations regarding a specific case.
Gynecomastia surgery typically lasts between 1 and 2 hours, depending on the amount of tissue to be removed and the technique used by the surgeon.
Most patients return to their normal lives within 7 to 14 days, although the final results are typically seen after about 3 to 4 months.
After gynecomastia correction surgery, there may be a decrease in sensitivity around the scar area. However, this is a temporary condition, and the patient will regain sensitivity over time.
The best way to determine whether you have a male breast condition is to start with a self-exam. If the breast enlargement is due to fat deposits, the breasts will look saggy and feel soft to the touch.
This is not the case with gynecomastia, because in this condition there is a greater resemblance to a woman’s breasts. That is, they feel firm, and there is a noticeable increase in nipple size. In addition, the area may feel hard or painful when touched.
If you suspect you have gynecomastia, it is important to see a doctor for a physical exam to confirm the diagnosis.
Results may be lost or altered if hormonal changes occur, significant weight gain takes place, or anabolic steroids are used after surgery; therefore, it is important to maintain a stable lifestyle.
In simple liposuction, fat is removed; in gynecomastia surgery, glandular tissue and fat are typically removed, which is necessary in true cases.
Generally after 4–6 weeks, provided that the postoperative recovery has been favorable and under medical supervision.
Addressing your concerns is the first step toward making an informed decision.
