If you avoid fitted shirts, hesitate at the pool, or keep adjusting your posture to hide your chest, you’re not alone. Gynecomastia—  is an enlargement of male breast tissue caused by excess gland, fat, or both. Beyond appearance, it often affects confidence, posture, and clothing choices. No matter how much you train or diet. 

At La Clinique Monte-Carlo, Dr. Michael Veber offers a discreet, definitive solution: male breast reduction that restores a flat, firm, masculine contour so clothes fit better and confidence feels effortless.

How Dr. Veber treats it

Most chests need a combination approach:

• High-definition liposuction to remove excess fat and refine edges (pectoral border, lateral chest).

• Gland excision through a small peri-areolar incision, hidden at the color transition, to remove firm glandular tissue.
  The goal: a flat, firm, masculine contour that looks natural from every angle.

​​​​

Personalized planning

Every chest is unique. After examining the fat–gland ratio, skin quality, and symmetry, Dr. Veber designs a plan to

• Reduce fullness across the areola and lower pole

• Sharpen the lateral and inferior pectoral lines

• Maintain a balanced, athletic silhouette

The procedure

• Duration: ~1 h 30

• Anaesthesia: general

• Technique: HD liposuction + limited peri-areolar gland excision when indicated

• Scar strategy: discreet, within the areolar border
   

Hospitalization

Usually outpatient with same-day discharge. A one-night stay can be offered for comfort if needed.
 

Recovery—what to expect

• Work/normal life: typically 5–7 days

• Compression vest: 4–6 weeks to support retraction and contour

• Sports: from 4 weeks, progressing as advised

• Final result: 3–6 months, as swelling resolves and skin tightens

​​

Aftercare & follow-up

You’ll have close follow-up to monitor healing, optimize scar care, and ensure a smooth, regular chest contour.

​

Results

• Flatter, firmer chest with masculine definition

• Improved proportions and clothing fit

• Renewed confidence in daily life, sport, and beachwear
