A flat, masculine-contoured chest.
Correction of enlarged breast tissue in men - a dedicated procedure carried out with complete discretion. Gynaecomastia is one of the most silent concerns among men. At Amavita it is treated with complete discretion and a specialised team.
Gynaecomastia.
Gynaecomastia is an enlargement of breast tissue in men caused by fatty tissue (pseudo-gynaecomastia), glandular tissue (true gynaecomastia), or a combination of both (the most common form).
Causes: hormonal, genetic, post-puberty, use of anabolic steroids, being overweight, use of certain medications.
The procedure selects the technique according to the type:
- Liposuction only for pseudo-gynaecomastia
- Surgical removal for glandular tissue (through a periareolar incision)
- Combined techniques for most cases
The process, step by step.
Clinical assessment
Manual examination to distinguish fat from glandular tissue. An ultrasound scan for confirmation. Hormonal analysis is optional.
Anaesthesia
Local plus sedation for smaller cases. General anaesthesia for larger cases or combined procedures.
Procedure
Liposuction plus removal of glandular tissue through a small periareolar incision. The scar remains very discreet. Duration: 1-2.5 hours.

A compression garment for the chest worn 24/7 for 4 weeks. Mild to moderate pain. 0-1 night in clinic.
