The Gynaecomastia Correction Procedure with Dr. Sof
THE PROCEDURE
Considering gynaecomastia correction to address excess breast tissue and achieve a more masculine chest contour? Discover what to expect when you choose Dr. Sofiane Rimouche for your gynaecomastia correction journey:
Consultation and Evaluation: Your gynaecomastia correction journey begins with a thorough consultation with Dr. Sof. During this initial meeting, Dr. Sof will listen attentively to your concerns, assess your medical history, and evaluate the extent of your gynaecomastia. He will perform a comprehensive examination to determine the underlying cause of your condition and develop a personalised treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Preparation: On the day of your gynaecomastia correction procedure, you’ll arrive at the surgical facility prepared for your surgery. Dr. Sof and his team will ensure you’re comfortable and relaxed before administering anaesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
Surgical Technique: Dr. Sof will employ advanced surgical techniques to remove excess breast tissue and sculpt a more masculine chest contour. Depending on the extent of your gynaecomastia and your aesthetic goals, Dr. Sof may utilise liposuction, excisional techniques, or a combination of both to achieve optimal results.
Liposuction: In cases where excess fat contributes to gynaecomastia, Dr. Sof will perform liposuction to remove unwanted fat deposits from the chest area. This helps to sculpt a flatter and more contoured chest appearance.
Excisional Techniques: For cases involving excess glandular tissue or skin laxity, Dr. Sof will perform excisional techniques to remove the tissue and tighten the skin. This helps to create a firmer and more defined chest contour with natural-looking results.
Closing Incisions and Recovery: Following the procedure, Dr. Sof will close the incisions with sutures and apply dressings as needed. You’ll be closely monitored in the recovery area before being discharged with detailed post-operative instructions. Dr. Sof will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress, address any concerns, and ensure a smooth recovery process.
Results: As you heal from the gynaecomastia correction procedure, you’ll begin to notice the transformation of your chest contour. Dr. Sof’s approach aims to achieve a flatter, firmer, and more masculine chest appearance, restoring your confidence and quality of life.

THINGS TO AVOID AFTER MALE EXCESS BREAST CORRECTION SURGERY
The following five steps will support your recovery
- Avoid engaging in strenuous activities, heavy lifting, or vigorous exercise for several weeks following male excess breast correction surgery. These activities can strain the surgical incisions and impede the healing process.
- Smoking and excessive alcohol consumption can impair the body's healing process and increase the risk of complications after male excess breast correction surgery. It's best to refrain from smoking and limit alcohol intake during the recovery period.
- It's crucial to follow all post-operative instructions provided by Dr. Sof diligently. This includes taking prescribed medications, attending follow-up appointments, and practicing proper wound care. Ignoring these instructions can increase the risk of complications and delay healing.
- Avoid wearing tight or restrictive clothing that puts pressure on the chest area after male excess breast correction surgery. Opt for loose-fitting, comfortable clothing to minimise discomfort and allow for proper healing.
- Pay close attention to any signs of complications such as excessive swelling, redness, warmth, or drainage from the incision sites. If you experience any unusual symptoms or have concerns about your recovery, contact Dr. Sof immediately for further evaluation and treatment.

FAQS
Gynecomastia (pronounced guy-ne-co-mastia) is a medical term meaning male breast enlargement.
Most operations for gynaecomastia take about 90 minutes to complete and are performed under general anaesthesia, or in some cases, under local anaesthesia with sedation.
Following the surgery the chest is swollen and bruised for a while and it can be difficult to assess the full effect of the operation. To help reduce swelling, patients are often instructed to wear an elastic pressure garment continuously for one or two weeks. It is advisable to refrain from exercise for about three weeks and, in general, it takes about six weeks before one can return to completely normal activities. Each patient will be given a pressure garment vest to wear for 6 weeks after the treatment.
Suitable candidates for male excess breast correction surgery are men who have enlarged breasts (gynaecomastia) that do not respond to diet and exercise or cause significant physical or psychological discomfort. Dr. Sof will assess candidacy during a consultation to determine if the procedure is appropriate.
While male excess breast correction surgery may result in some scarring, Dr. Sof utilises advanced surgical techniques to minimise the visibility of scars. Incisions are typically placed in inconspicuous locations and can often fade over time.
