Gynecomastia in Medellin, Colombia
We seek to obtain a flatter, firmer and more defined appearance of the male breast
What is gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia is the enlargement of male breast glandular tissue and is treated surgically when there is no positive response to other treatments, or when pseudogynecomastia (excess fat in the chest) is present.
The most common surgical techniques include liposuction to remove excess fat, mastectomy to remove the glandular tissue, and skin excision with repositioning of the areola. These procedures are performed only in men who have completed their hormonal development.
Why Choose Gynecomastia Surgery?
Gynecomastia surgery is ideal for men who experience an abnormal enlargement of breast tissue and wish to achieve a flatter, firmer chest. This procedure not only improves physical appearance but can also boost confidence and emotional well-being.

Start with a personalized consultation with Dr. Rodríguez, who will evaluate your objectives, your anatomy and your general health to design a surgical plan tailored to you. You'll also receive pre-operative instructions to prepare you properly.
The surgical procedure
On the day of your surgery, you'll be given general anesthesia to ensure your comfort. The procedure consists of liposuction to remove excess fat, mastectomy that removes the mammary gland and skin resection with subsequent rearrangement of the areola. One or all of the techniques will be used according to the patient's needs.
Recovery and aftercare
After surgery, you can go home the same day. Swelling and discomfort are temporary, improving within a few weeks. Dr. Rodriguez will give you care instructions and follow up. Most resume light activities in a week and return to normal activities within 8 weeks.
Recovery Schedule
What to Expect After Gynecomastia
Every stage of the recovery process is key to achieving safe and natural results. With Dr. Rodriguez's guidance, you'll know exactly what to expect, how to take care of yourself, and when to resume your activities with confidence.
- First week: rest and initial recovery
During the first week, active rest promotes recovery. It's normal to have swelling and bruising. With the right care, you can resume light activities in a week. - Weeks 2 to 4: Gradual recovery
As the swelling subsides, you'll see the first results. You can resume work and moderate activities, avoiding strenuous effort or pressure on your chest. - First month onwards
