At Sculpture Clinic we specialize in gynecomastia in Madrid, with the best team of professionals. If you need to remove excess breast tissue, our surgeons can help you with minimally invasive procedures focused on body harmony. Discover why we are a reference in male aesthetic surgery and request a personalized assessment.
Having asymmetrical, swollen or sagging breasts that don’t improve with diet or exercise; noticing small lumps or “hard balls” under the nipple; presenting stretched areolas, or experiencing chest sensitivity are common reasons to consider gynecomastia surgery and address these issues.
Fortunately, today there are safe and effective surgical techniques that allow correcting excess breast tissue and achieving a harmonious and natural result. Gynecomastia is a procedure designed to reduce the volume of the male chest and improve the contour of the torso.
At our Sculpture Clinic center we perform a personalized study of each patient to assess their case and determine whether gynecomastia surgery is the most appropriate option based on their needs and expectations.
What is gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia is the growth of the breast gland in men. In patients where this enlargement does not resolve within a year, surgery is recommended.
Gynecomastia surgery in Madrid is a very common procedure that removes excess fat and breast tissue from the chest to reduce its volume.
Difference between gynecomastia and pseudo-gynecomastia
Gynecomastia is distinguished from pseudo-gynecomastia because in the latter it is only a growth of fatty tissue.
The results are very satisfactory, with an almost imperceptible scar after about six months.
Gynecomastia surgery in Madrid
Gynecomastia surgery for men is minimally invasive and the postoperative period is quite manageable, but it requires an accurate diagnosis to choose the most effective technique.
How gynecomastia surgery is performed
The procedure is normally performed under local anesthesia or sedation, although in some cases general anesthesia may be chosen.
For the surgery, an incision of 2 or 3 cm is generally made around the areola to remove the excess gland. On the other hand, excess fat is treated by liposuction with a fine cannula.
Both techniques are frequently combined for better results.
Surgical techniques used
At Sculpture Clinic we use three techniques to achieve optimal results:
- Mastectomy. An incision of 2-3 centimeters is made around the areola to remove excess breast tissue.
- Liposuction using a cannula connected to a vacuum pump to remove excess fat.
- Liposculpture assisted by BodyTite radiofrequency technology to achieve skin contraction and prevent sagging. This is especially important from age 30-35 onwards, when we typically have greater excess skin.
One or other techniques are combined depending on the type of gynecomastia you have. This is why it is essential that the doctor conducts a detailed diagnostic study during your initial free consultation.
Chest reshaping and closure
Once excess tissue has been removed, the contour of the chest is sculpted so it remains flat and proportional to the rest of the torso.
The incision is closed with very fine sutures. In addition, compression garments or bandages are placed to help reduce swelling. This promotes recovery.

In general, the following criteria are recommended:
- Men with persistent gynecomastia that does not resolve over time.
- Good overall health, without conditions that could compromise recovery or wound healing.
- Individuals who have maintained stable weight.

Gynecomastia surgery cost in Madrid
The cost of any surgical procedure varies depending on your specific needs and the surgeon’s prior evaluation, so it is not possible to establish an exact price. To give you an idea, gynecomastia surgery in Madrid starts from €3,500.
Post-operative care for gynecomastia
The post-operative period following gynecomastia surgery is quite manageable. Your doctor will provide all necessary guidance to ensure optimal recovery.
Recovery after surgery
During the first 24 hours, rest is essential. In the first two weeks, it is important to sleep on your back to avoid pressure on the newly operated breast tissue. Pressure could affect your recovery.
Over 3-5 days you may experience certain discomfort (similar to muscle soreness) and swelling. We will prescribe pain relievers and anti-inflammatory medications to ensure your recovery is quick and comfortable.
Of course, your doctor will closely monitor your progress through several clinic visits. At 1 and 2 weeks, at 1, 3, and 6 months, and one year post-surgery. If you live outside Madrid and find it difficult to visit the clinic, we can conduct evaluations via video call.
You can also contact your doctor by phone or WhatsApp whenever you need.
When can you return to work and exercise?
You can return to your daily life in 3-5 days. If your job involves heavier physical effort, such as lifting weights or holding your arms in forced positions, you may need to delay your return to work.
You will gradually recover your normal activities over the following three months. In the first few weeks, avoid exercises that involve the pectoral muscles.
Compression garment use
During the first month you should wear a compression garment to help the skin retract and return to its proper position.
