Gynecomastia in Madrid
Gynecomastia is the unwanted enlargement of breast tissue in men and can be a significant source of discomfort. At our clinic in Madrid, Dr. Gustavo Sordo understands how this excess tissue can affect your emotional and physical well-being.
Our approach to treating gynecomastia not only seeks to reduce male breast volume, but also to restore proportion and confidence, employing advanced techniques that maximize aesthetic results.
We personalize each gynecomastia procedure to suit your needs and expectations, aiming for a result that looks good and that you feel comfortable with.

What is Gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia is an increase in breast tissue in men that often profoundly affects self-esteem.
This development may be due to fat accumulation or actual growth of the mammary glands , often influenced by factors such as hormonal imbalances, medications, or underlying health conditions.
In Madrid, Dr. Gustavo Sordo addresses this problem with cutting-edge procedures and an empathetic approach, personalizing each intervention to reduce breast volume, improve the male silhouette and strengthen the patient's confidence, transforming both their physical appearance and their emotional well-being and social life.
Types of Gynecomastia Surgery
Gynecomastia can manifest itself in two ways and each requires a different surgical approach:
⇒ Fat accumulation: When breast enlargement is primarily due to fatty tissue, Dr. Sordo uses the tumescent liposuction technique. This technique effectively removes fat cells and redefines the breast contour without affecting glandular tissue.
⇒ Glandular tissue growth: In cases of significant mammary gland growth, a combination of liposuction and glandular excision is performed. This dual procedure is necessary to remove the denser, fibrous tissue, achieving a more natural and symmetrical appearance.
During the first consultation, Dr. Sordo will perform a detailed examination to determine the type of gynecomastia you need and discuss which surgical approach fits your case, paying attention to nipple symmetry.

Patient Reviews and Testimonials
Miracle Felix I was in the hands of Dr. Soldó and everything went very well. Inma Gallego Almost a week ago I had my surgery with Dr. Gustavo. I am infinitely grateful to him and his team, who are friendly, attentive and kind. Above all, Nuria and Montse, who have always been there for me for anything I have needed and with a super friendly attitude.

Sordo is a machine doing his job, 100% recommendable, I couldn't be happier, thank you so much, you are the best 🫶🏼 Vanessa Ferca Great professionals. Excellent service. 100% recommended. Jaranoa The experience with Dr Gustavo Sordo and his wonderful team completely exceeds the expectations of the result and the experience. I am a person who is afraid of pain and really apprehensive about needles and blood. After two interventions with them I can tell you that it has been totally bearable and the results have been BEAUTIFUL. They are in complete communication with you throughout all the processes and very attentive to you, explaining the times, preparation, recovery in great detail and accompanying you at all times. Quick postoperatives without pain and with short recovery times. Congratulations on the wonderful team that you make, for me you are a 10 and I will always recommend you so that you continue making so many people happy and that because of fear and the results (which are usually the brake in this type of intervention) my experience can serve them as "textbook fearful". RM VJ My daughter had a rhinoplasty at this centre for respiratory problems. The treatment was unbeatable by the entire team: reception, nursing, anesthesia and, of course, Dr. Sordo.

The complete process of Gynecomastia in Madrid with Dr. Gustavo Sordo
Beginning of the Journey: Initial Consultation
Preoperative Gynecomastia
Gynecomastia surgery day
The most important thing to take the step is to have all the information and to decide on a clinic like ours, with all the guarantees. That is why we inform you of the entire process, step by step and down to the smallest detail. And we are always here to support you and resolve all your doubts.
On the day of your gynecomastia surgery, we will meet at the Hospital de la Moncloa , where advanced technology and Dr. Sordo's expert team provide a safe and well-equipped environment.
If you are looking for privacy and exclusivity, you can choose a VIP service that offers you discreet access to your room from the garage and personalized attention for your companion.
Below, we will tell you the actions that Dr. Sordo will carry out during the procedure:
⇒ Liposuction: It begins with a small incision of approximately 4 mm in a discreet area of the chest to effectively remove excess fat.
⇒ Removal of glandular tissue: In cases where glandular tissue is prominent, an incision is made in the lower part of the areola for its removal.
⇒ Aesthetic redefinition: Finally, the nipple and areola are adjusted and any excess skin is removed, refining the breast contour for a more defined and aesthetic result.
1. Anesthesia
Our team performs all surgeries under general anesthesia. We use a technique called TIVA (Total Intravenous Anesthesia) , which eliminates the need for conventional anesthetic gases and provides a more comfortable experience for our patients. Many describe it as a restful sleep, similar to light sedation.
We chose general anesthesia because it is the safest and most beneficial for both the patient and the medical team. If you would like more information about TIVA anesthesia and why we consider it to be the safest, you can check out our FAQs.
Throughout the entire procedure, our anesthesiologist, Dr. Bourgeois, will continuously monitor you throughout the intervention.
2. Monitoring sleep depth with the BIS sensor
During the surgical procedure, we use the BIS sensor to monitor the patient's sleep depth in real time, and adjust the depth of anesthesia at all times.
What is the Bispectral Index (BIS)?
The Bispectral Index (BIS) is an advanced technological tool that provides a quantitative measure of the effect of anesthetic agents on the brain. It works by analyzing brain electrical activity (EEG) using a specialized algorithm and translating this information into a numerical value that reflects the patient's level of consciousness.
As measured?
The measurement is performed using a small sensor placed on the patient's forehead. This sensor continuously records the brain's electrical signal and transmits it to a monitor, which interprets the data using sophisticated algorithms to calculate the BIS index.
What is the BIS for?
The use of BIS during surgery allows:
- Precisely adjust the anesthesia dosage.
- Reduce the risk of intraoperative awareness.
- Promote a faster and safer postoperative recovery by avoiding the unnecessary administration of anesthetics.
Thanks to this technology, we ensure personalized, effective anesthesia with maximum control over patient safety.
Recovery and Monitoring:
After surgery, you will spend a short time in the recovery room before returning to your private room.
Dr. Sordo will personally review your progress the day after surgery to ensure that your recovery is off to a smooth start. If all is well, you will be discharged the next day to continue home care, where you will need to follow specific instructions for healing and to manage any discomfort with prescribed medication.

Postoperative Gynecomastia
After the operation, we apply a compression garment that you will need to wear for approximately four weeks to protect the area and minimize swelling.
This garment will only be removed for dressings and during showers.
Maintaining moderate activity is essential, but you should avoid intense efforts, especially those that involve the pectoral muscles.
During the postoperative period, we will provide you with detailed instructions on what you need to do at home to ensure optimal recovery.
Gynecomastia post-operative check-ups
We are committed to providing you with comprehensive follow-up after your gynecomastia surgery to support your recovery and review the results with you.
Postoperative follow-up extends during the first year:
One week after the operation: We will meet to assess your progress, the sutures will be removed, and the first dressings will be applied.
One month later: You will observe a decrease in inflammation and an approach to the final result; we will assess whether it is still necessary to use the pressotherapy belt.
3 to 6 months later: A new review is performed to observe skin retraction and the final breast contour.
12 months later: At the final check-up, we will take before and after photos to document the final results and formalize your discharge.
This follow-up program ensures that any issues that arise are addressed promptly, and that we review the results of your gynecomastia treatment with you.
