Gynecomastia

What is gynecomastia?

Gynecomastia is a disease which doesn’t threaten man’s life, however, it is among the group of illnesses that can considerably spoil the life of every man. The enlarged mammary glands have to be carefully hidden, and in summer there is always a problem of going to the beach. There are two types of gynecomastia, the first one is false and it’s the reason of massive fat deposits while the true gynecomastia is the result of predominance of female hormones in an organism of a man.

Before the operation:

Before the operation, you will need to visit at least two consultations.

If you decide to be operated, then this estimate must be signed before the second consultation. The signed estimate is your knowing and intelligent consent for the surgery. (it’s mandatory under French law). Nevertheless, for the patients who come to do the operation from other countries, we will organize formalities from a distance on the Internet or by mail. Also during the second consultation, such things as anesthesia, preoperative tests, and desired result will be discussed.
