Gynecomastia Treatment

Your personal introduction to the plastic surgeon

The first consultation focuses on your personal introduction to the plastic surgeon. In an open and confidential setting, you will discuss your wishes and expectations regarding gynecomastia treatment. The surgeon listens attentively to your story and takes the time to thoroughly analyse your situation.

Tailored information

The surgeon will provide you with extensive information about the various options for gynecomastia treatment, tailored to your individual situation and wishes. You will receive a realistic picture of the expected result, and the surgeon will explain how the procedure works. The entire treatment pathway will be discussed, including the preparation, the surgery itself, the aftercare, and the recovery process.

The goal of gynecomastia treatment

The goal of gynecomastia treatment is to remove the excess glandular or fatty tissue and restore a flat and masculine chest profile. During the consultation, the plastic surgeon will discuss which technique is most suitable for your situation, whether liposuction is required, and what you can realistically expect from the result.

Advantages, disadvantages, risks, and complications

The consultation also covers the advantages and disadvantages of gynecomastia treatment, as well as the possible risks and complications. The surgeon will be open and honest about the possible side effects and will advise you on how to minimise them.

Your questions are central

Of course, there is ample opportunity during the consultation to ask all your questions about gynecomastia treatment. The surgeon will answer these questions thoroughly and in plain language, so that you have a clear picture of what to expect.

A well-considered decision

We believe it is important that you are able to make a well-considered decision about gynecomastia treatment after the consultation. We therefore pay great attention to informing you about the options, risks, and expectations. Your wishes and satisfaction with the result are our priority.

Consultation fee

A consultation fee of €100 applies. This amount will be deducted from the final price of the treatment should you decide to have the gynecomastia treatment performed at Blooming Plastische Chirurgie.

Anaesthesia and duration of surgery

Gynecomastia treatment is performed under local anaesthesia or general anaesthesia, depending on the extent of the correction. The surgery takes an average of 60 to 120 minutes. Prior to the surgery, the plastic surgeon will give you an accurate estimate of the expected duration.

Preparation and marking

Before the surgery begins, the plastic surgeon carefully marks the area to be treated. This ensures precise execution of the procedure and determines where the incisions will be made and how much tissue will be removed.

The procedure

Via a small incision at the edge of the areola, the excess glandular or fatty tissue is removed. To prevent an indentation at the level of the nipple, a small amount of tissue is always left in place. For larger corrections or where liposuction is required, the incision may be extended or enlarged. The skin is closed with subcutaneous absorbable sutures and covered with sterile dressings.

Drains and overnight stay

For larger corrections, thin drainage tubes (drains) may be placed at the end of the surgery to drain wound fluid. These are typically removed within a few days. After gynecomastia treatment, you will stay one night at our clinic so that we can provide you with the best care and support during the first phase of your recovery.

After surgery

After the procedure, you will receive a compression vest or compression bandage that you must wear day and night for the first three to six weeks. Our team will give you comprehensive aftercare instructions so that you are well prepared when you go home.

Immediately after surgery

After gynecomastia treatment, you will stay one night at the clinic for observation. The following morning, you may go home with supervision. Please arrange transport assistance, as you are not permitted to drive yourself. From two days after surgery, you may shower again, but we advise against prolonged bathing, swimming, or using the sauna for the first two weeks.

Swelling and pain

After surgery, the operated area may feel painful and tight. This is a normal part of the healing process and will gradually subside in the days following the procedure. Most patients are able to resume their daily activities after 7 to 14 days. Sports and heavy work are not recommended for the first two to four weeks.

Scars

The scars are located at the edge of the areola and are therefore barely visible. In the first few months, the scars will still be red and swollen, after which they will gradually fade. The full healing process of the scars takes one to one and a half years. To promote this process, we advise you to use a good scar cream and to protect your scars from UV radiation as much as possible.

Smoking and alcohol

To promote wound healing and reduce the risk of complications, we advise you not to smoke for six weeks before and six weeks after surgery. We also recommend that you refrain from alcohol from one week before until one week after the procedure.

Tailored aftercare

Throughout the recovery process, we provide intensive guidance and tailored aftercare to ensure that you can fully enjoy the results of your gynecomastia treatment.

General risks

As with any surgical procedure, gynecomastia treatment carries risks and possible complications. Although these risks are small, it is important to be aware of them. General risks of gynecomastia treatment include post-operative bleeding, infections, swelling, delayed wound healing, and allergic reactions.

Specific complications

In addition to the general risks, there are also some specific complications that may occur in exceptional cases, such as collections of blood under the skin (haematoma), changes in sensation around the chest, and permanently visible scars. In rare cases, the final result may differ from expectations. The plastic surgeon will discuss this with you in detail during the consultation.

Comprehensive information during the consultation

During the consultation, the plastic surgeon will discuss all risks and possible complications with you in detail. You will receive information about the likelihood of complications, how they can be prevented, and how they can be treated should they occur.

Your safety comes first

At Blooming Plastische Chirurgie, your safety comes first. Our experienced plastic surgeons take all possible precautions to minimise risks and prevent complications. Should a complication occur unexpectedly, you can count on professional and adequate care.

Transparency about costs

At Blooming Plastische Chirurgie, we understand that costs are an important factor in your decision to undergo gynecomastia treatment. We therefore strive for transparency and offer the treatment at a fair price, where quality and care always come first.

Starting price and factors that influence the price

At Blooming Plastische Chirurgie, the cost of gynecomastia treatment starts at €4.950,-. This amount is a guideline and covers the basic costs of the treatment, including consultations, anaesthesia, overnight stay, and aftercare procedures.

The final price of your gynecomastia treatment may vary depending on various factors, such as:

• The extent of the correction: A minor correction without liposuction or skin resection differs in price from a more extensive procedure.

• The technique used: For larger corrections or where liposuction is required, the costs will be higher.

• Combination with Renuvion: A treatment including Renuvion for skin tightening involves higher costs.

Personal price quote

During the consultation, the plastic surgeon will discuss your wishes and expectations and draw up a personal treatment plan. Based on this treatment plan, you will receive a detailed price quote so that you know exactly what to expect.
