What is Gynecomastia
Gynecomastia, also known as male breast reduction surgery, is a surgical procedure aimed at eliminating excess gland and/or fat in the male chest, restoring a firm, flat, and proportionate appearance to the torso, with a natural and harmonious result.
At the Benito Institute, we understand that every man has a story, a body structure, and a unique perception of his image. Therefore, our approach is always personalized, prioritizing safety, naturalness, and anatomical harmony in each case.
What types of gynecomastia surgery exist?
Fatty gynecomastia (liposuction)
Indicated when the increase in male breast size is mainly due to excess fat. It is corrected through liposuction, achieving a flatter and more defined chest with minimal scars.
Glandular gynecomastia (gland removal)
Recommended when there is an excess of mammary gland tissue. It requires direct surgical removal of the gland through a small incision around the areola.
Mixed gynecomastia (combined)
It is the most common form. It combines excess fat and gland, so the treatment includes liposuction and gland removal to achieve a flat, firm, and natural result.
What does Gynecomastia involve at IdB?
The procedure is performed after a personalized prior assessment and may include liposuction to remove localized fat and/or the removal of glandular tissue through small discreet incisions, usually around the areola. The technique is adapted to each case to achieve a natural, balanced result in accordance with the patient's anatomy.
"Many men think it is fat, but in many cases, there is a glandular component that can only be corrected with surgery."
Personalized medical assessment
The evaluation will always be carried out with the surgeon who will perform your procedure. In this consultation, the type of gynecomastia, skin quality, gland and fat amount, and the best technique for your case are analyzed. To book the appointment, a payment of 80 € must be made in advance.
Preparation for the intervention
Preoperative medical tests are performed and all necessary instructions are given to ensure you arrive at the surgery with maximum safety and peace of mind.

Frequently asked questions about male chest correction
What results can I expect?
A flatter, firmer, and more proportionate chest, with a natural masculine contour. The final result is seen between 3 and 6 months, when the tissues have fully adapted.
Does gynecomastia surgery hurt a lot?
Discomfort is usually mild or moderate and is effectively controlled with medication and advanced recovery protocols. Most patients resume their usual routine in 7 to 10 days.
Can gynecomastia return after surgery?
Under normal conditions, the removed glandular tissue does not grow back. However, significant hormonal changes or weight gain could affect the result over time.
What are the risks of gynecomastia surgery?
Gynecomastia surgery is a safe procedure when performed in specialized centers and by expert surgeons. However, like all surgeries, it involves certain potential risks.
At the Instituto de Benito, safety is a priority and all procedures are carried out under strict medical and control protocols, minimizing complications.
Most common risks (generally mild)
- Hematoma or bleeding: accumulation of blood under the skin; usually resolves with medical control or drainage.
- Temporary swelling and discomfort: normal during the first few days; decreases progressively.
- Sensitivity changes: changes in nipple or chest sensitivity, almost always temporary.
- Mild asymmetries: small differences during the healing process.
- Seroma: fluid accumulation that can be easily reabsorbed or drained.
Less common risks
- Postoperative infection: uncommon thanks to aseptic measures and preventive antibiotics.
- Opening of stitches or delayed healing: may be due to skin tension or individual factors.
- Reaction to anesthesia or surgical materials.
- Irregular skin retraction or contour irregularities.
- Need for surgical touch-up in very specific cases.
Will there be visible scars?
The incisions are small and strategically located, usually around the areola or in less visible areas, so over time they are usually almost imperceptible.
When can I exercise or sunbathe?
Exercise: progressively from 4–6 weeks. Sun or beach: after 8 weeks, always with high sun protection on the scars.
Can I combine gynecomastia surgery with other treatments?
Yes. In some cases, it can be combined with liposuction of other areas or other body procedures, always after medical evaluation.
What happens if I gain or lose weight afterward?
Moderate weight changes usually do not significantly alter the result. Maintaining a stable weight helps preserve the result in the long term.
How long does full recovery take?
Most patients resume their normal life in 7–10 days, although the final result consolidates around 3 months.
Can gynecomastia be financed?
Yes, in our case we offer different financing options to facilitate access to gynecomastia surgery. We can split the payment up to 12 months without interest, as well as propose broader financing options of up to 60 months, tailored to each patient.
