Gynecomastia surgery in Tunisia
Gynecomastia surgery corrects excessive breast development in men for a flatter, more masculine chest. In Tunisia, Olea Medical's primary destination, your journey is organised end to end, discreetly.
Gynecomastia: what is it?
Gynecomastia is the excessive development of glandular tissue and/or fat in the male chest. Surgery removes the excess to restore a flat, masculine chest. It is suited to stable gynecomastia that causes physical or psychological discomfort.
Depending on the case it is mainly glandular (adeno-gynecomastia) or fatty (adipomastia). In Tunisia, the procedure is performed by specialised teams in partner facilities.
Goals of the procedure
- Remove excess glandular tissue and/or fat
- Restore a flat, masculine chest
- Improve comfort and self-image
- Achieve a natural, discreet result
Who is it for? Indications
- Adult man with stable gynecomastia
- Physical or psychological discomfort
- Good general health, no untreated hormonal cause
- Realistic expectations, discussed at consultation
Only a healthcare professional can determine whether a procedure is suitable for your situation, following a medical assessment.
Techniques
Liposuction only
For mainly fatty gynecomastia; minimal scarring.
Glandular excision
Removal of the gland via a discreet peri-areolar incision when the glandular component predominates.
Combined technique
Liposuction plus excision, the most common approach, for a harmonious chest.
Preparation, procedure and anaesthesia
Preparation includes a pre-operative work-up and, if needed, hormonal tests to rule out a treatable cause. The procedure is performed under general or deep local anaesthesia. A compression vest is fitted afterwards.
Aftercare, recovery and results
Swelling and tenderness are common in the first days. The compression vest is recommended for several weeks. Activities resume gradually; upper-body effort and sport are postponed. The chest refines as swelling subsides; the result is assessed over several weeks to a few months. No result can be guaranteed in advance.
Risks and limitations
- Like any procedure, it carries risks (anaesthesia, healing, seroma, asymmetry) explained at consultation.
- Gynecomastia due to an untreated hormonal or medication cause may recur.
- Following compression and instructions supports a better result.
