Gynecomastia
Restoring a flatter and more defined chest
Gynecomastia is an abnormal increase in breast volume in men. It may be related to excess glandular tissue, localised fat accumulation, or a combination of both.
This condition can cause significant aesthetic discomfort, inconvenience in daily, sporting, or social activities, and sometimes a loss of self-confidence.
In Paris, Dr Thibault Trévidic offers personalised care for gynecomastia, with one objective: to restore a flatter, more masculine, and better-defined chest with a natural result.
Before any procedure, a medical assessment may be necessary to rule out a hormonal, medication-related, or metabolic cause.
Liposuction or removal of the mammary gland?
The treatment of gynecomastia depends on the nature of the excess volume.
When the fatty component predominates, targeted liposuction may reduce volume and reshape the chest harmoniously.
When glandular excess is more significant, removal of the mammary gland may be combined to achieve a more complete correction.
In some cases, when mild to moderate skin laxity is present, radiofrequency-based tissue tightening techniques may be proposed to improve skin retraction and chest definition.
The choice of technique depends on the clinical examination, skin quality, the proportion of fat or glandular tissue, and the patient’s expectations.
Procedure, recovery and result
Gynecomastia surgery is performed under general anaesthesia, most often as outpatient surgery.
The incisions are generally discreet and placed along the contour of the areola to limit their visibility. Liposuction may be performed alone or combined with removal of the mammary gland, depending on the indication.
After the procedure, a compressive dressing is applied, then replaced by a compression vest worn for several weeks. This garment helps limit oedema, support healing, and optimise chest remodelling.
Swelling, bruising, and a temporary change in sensitivity are common during the first few weeks. Pain is generally moderate and controlled with appropriate treatment.
Chest improvement appears progressively. The result continues to refine over several months as the tissues retract and the skin adapts to the new contours.

Frequently asked questions
What is gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia is an increase in breast volume in men. It may be related to excess glandular tissue, localised fat accumulation, or a combination of both.
What is the difference between gynecomastia and excess fat?
True gynecomastia involves the development of mammary gland tissue. When the excess is mainly fatty, it is more often referred to as adipomastia. The two can also be combined.
How can gynecomastia be corrected?
Treatment depends on the cause of the excess volume. Liposuction may be proposed when fat predominates. In cases of glandular excess, removal of the mammary gland may be necessary.
Where are the scars located?
Scars are generally discreet and placed along the contour of the areola. Their location depends on the technique used and the extent of the correction.
When can the final result be seen?
An improvement is visible from the first few weeks, but the result continues to refine over several months as oedema decreases and the tissues stabilise.
Is the result natural?
Yes, when the procedure is properly indicated and adapted to the patient’s anatomy. The goal is to achieve a flatter, more masculine, and better-defined chest without an artificial appearance.
