Gynecomastia surgery in Bogotá — male chest correction at ALMO Clinic
In summary

Gynecomastia is the enlargement of glandular breast tissue in men, caused by hormonal imbalances, medications, anabolic steroids, or alcohol. It doesn't respond to diet or exercise because it's glandular tissue, not fat: correction is surgical and combines liposuction with glandular excision depending on the case. At ALMO Clinic (Bogotá) it's performed with minimal scarring at the edge of the areola and a recovery of 1 to 2 weeks.

A male problem more common than you think

Gynecomastia is estimated to affect a high proportion of men to some degree over their lifetime. Avoiding taking your shirt off, choosing loose clothing, or hunching your posture to hide your chest are signs the problem is already shaping your daily life. Gynecomastia surgery in Bogotá resolves the cause for good: it removes excess glandular tissue and fat to restore a flat, masculine chest contour. It's one of the plastic surgery procedures we perform at ALMO Clinic.

Gynecomastia or pseudogynecomastia: diagnosis defines the technique

Not all enlarged male chests are the same. True gynecomastia is growth of glandular tissue — firm, disc-shaped, under the areola — and requires surgical excision. Pseudogynecomastia is fat accumulation and responds to liposuction. Most cases are mixed and combine both techniques in the same procedure.

At your evaluation, the plastic surgeon identifies the predominant component, rules out hormonal or pharmacological causes that need treatment first, and defines the technique that will give you a flat chest with the smallest possible scar — usually hidden at the lower edge of the areola.

What each technique addresses

The choice of technique isn't aesthetic, it's anatomical: it depends on the type of excess tissue and skin quality. When the excess is mostly fat and also affects other areas, it can be combined with an liposculpture of the abdomen or flanks in the same surgical session.
