Gynaecomastia
Treatment with VASER Liposuction
and Gland Removal
Gynaecomastia is a common medical condition in men, characterised by an abnormal increase in breast tissue. This increase in volume can be due to factors such as hormonal imbalances, genetics, medication use or weight gain. It can cause physical discomfort and psychological effects, impacting the confidence and self-esteem of those affected.
Treatment for gynaecomastia can vary depending on the cause, the extent of the condition and the patient’s expectations. At the Dr Sarrià Clinic, we specialise in a highly effective combined technique that includes VASER liposuction and removal of the mammary gland.

Combined Treatment: VASER Liposuction and Gland Removal
- VASER Liposuction: VASER liposuction is used to remove fat that has accumulated in the chest area. Using ultrasound technology, VASER emulsifies and liquefies the fat, making it easier to remove. This allows the surgeon to achieve a cleaner, more defined and symmetrical contour in the pectoral area.
- Removal of the Mammary Gland: When gynaecomastia is caused by excess glandular tissue (beyond fat), a small incision is made, usually along the lower edge of the areola, to remove the excess glandular tissue. This step is essential for achieving a flatter, more natural pectoral contour, without the lump or bulge that gynaecomastia can cause.
Before & After
Advantages of the Combined Treatment
- Better Definition: Combining VASER liposuction and gland removal eliminates both excess fat and glandular tissue, creating a more natural, flat, harmonious male chest contour.
- Optimal Recovery: By combining both techniques, treatment becomes less invasive than with other traditional approaches. This results in a faster, less painful recovery, with fewer incisions needed and a lower risk of complications.
- Long-Lasting Results: The treatment provides definitive results by addressing both the fat and the glandular tissue causing the gynaecomastia. Results are usually highly satisfactory and permanent, improving the appearance and contour of the male chest.
Postoperative Period and Recovery
Recovery from VASER liposuction and gynaecomastia surgery varies depending on the scope of the procedure, but patients generally experience less pain and less swelling than with traditional surgical techniques. Wearing compression garments is recommended to reduce swelling and improve the final appearance of the treated area.
Patients can usually resume their daily activities within a couple of weeks. However, it is advisable to avoid intense exercise and strenuous physical activity during the recovery period. Proper follow-up and adherence to the surgeon’s instructions are key to ensuring optimal results.
If you suffer from gynaecomastia and are looking for an effective solution, the combination of VASER liposuction and gland removal at the Dr Sarrià Clinic is a highly effective option that will help you achieve a firmer, flatter, more natural chest, improving your physical and emotional wellbeing.
