Gynecomastia Surgery in Mexico
Gynecomastia Surgery
Gynecomastia surgery — or male breast reduction — restores a flat, masculine chest by removing excess fat and glandular tissue. The modern approach combines advanced liposuction (which excels at the fibrous male breast tissue) with selective excision of dense glandular tissue through a hidden incision under the areola.
Surgery lasts 1.5 to 2.5 hours under general anesthesia or deep sedation. Most patients return to the hotel the same day.
Who is a good candidate?
Adult men with persistent gynecomastia (any cause), in good general health, non-smokers, with stable weight. Adolescents with persistent pubertal gynecomastia (still present after age 18) are also candidates. Patients with hormonal causes should have those addressed first when feasible.
Expected results
The chest is flat and masculine. The areola is harmoniously sized and positioned. Confidence in fitted clothing and shirtless. Result is essentially final at 4 to 6 months. Permanent provided weight remains stable and no new hormonal cause develops.
True vs Pseudo-Gynecomastia
Two distinct conditions, requiring different approaches:
1. True gynecomastia
Excess glandular (firm) tissue, often hormonal in origin. Requires liposuction PLUS surgical excision of the dense glandular tissue.
2. Pseudo-gynecomastia
Purely fatty male breast (no glandular component). liposuction alone is sufficient. No glandular excision required.
Most patients have a mixed picture — both fat and glandular tissue. Argaman Plastic Surgeries Mexico addresses both during the same operation.
Hidden Scar Approach
Liposuction incisions are 3–5 mm and placed in concealed locations (axilla, lateral chest). When glandular excision is needed, the incision is placed at the lower border of the areola — the resulting scar fades to invisibility within 6–12 months. In severe cases with significant skin excess (post-weight-loss), a more visible scar is required.
