Gynecomastia Treatment in Consultório Dr. Leandro de Aquino
About the clinic
Gynecomastia surgery at Consultório Dr. Leandro de Aquino in Nova Lima, Brazil, provides a surgical solution for male breast enlargement. Treatment is led by Dr. Leandro de Aquino, a plastic surgeon with over 10 years of experience and a member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP). The clinic holds TEMOS accreditation and offers hyperbaric oxygen therapy to support the healing process after surgery.
Gynecomastia treatment options
The choice of treatment depends on how long symptoms have lasted and the severity of the condition. Dr. Leandro de Aquino follows the Simon classification to determine the best method for each patient. For early-stage cases where symptoms have lasted less than two years, non-surgical clinical treatment may be an option. This includes medications like tamoxifen, clomifene, or danazol. However, medication is often less effective after the two-year mark, making surgery the primary choice.
Surgical techniques and procedures
Surgery typically lasts 1 to 2 hours. It is performed under general anesthesia or peridural anesthesia with sedation. The procedure removes excess glandular tissue and improves the chest contour. Depending on the Simon Grade, the surgeon uses different approaches:
- Glandular excision. The surgeon makes a semicircular incision at the lower border of the areola. This is the standard method for removing firm breast tissue.
- Liposuction. This technique is often combined with excision. It removes fatty tissue around the breast area to create a smooth transition.
- Skin resection. For higher grades (Simon IIb or III) with significant sagging, the surgeon removes excess skin. This helps tighten the chest area.
- Pectoral fat grafting. The surgeon can transfer fat to the chest and shoulders. This enhances muscle definition and improves the overall shape.
Recovery and clinic facilities
Patients can usually return to work within 7 days. The clinic is located in the Vale do Sereno area and operates as a private practice. As a professor at the UFMG Medical School, Dr. Leandro de Aquino brings academic expertise to his surgical practice. To help with the recovery, the facility provides hyperbaric oxygen therapy. This treatment can speed up tissue repair and reduce swelling after the operation. You can request a consultation for gynecomastia through the Bookimed platform.

Consultório Dr. Leandro de Aquino: more details about the clinic

Patients receive attention that covers the full care continuum – from the initial consultation through surgery and recovery.
Academic Expertise and Accreditations
The practice is led by Dr. Leandro de Aquino, a plastic surgeon with extensive clinical and academic background. He has been on staff at Rede Mater Dei de Saúde since 2019 and serves on the Face Trauma team. His credentials include:
- Accreditation by the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP)
- TEMOS international certification
- Licensed specialist credentials with RQE 43900 and RQE 55958
- Professor at the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG) Medical School since 2025
Dr. Leandro de Aquino completed his medical training and plastic surgery residency at the UFMG University Hospital. He also served as a residency preceptor between 2016 and 2022. This academic focus keeps surgical protocols aligned with current evidence and safety standards.
Plastic Surgery Specialties
The clinic performs a wide range of aesthetic and reconstructive procedures. Surgical plans address both cosmetic concerns and conditions requiring functional repair.
Facial Rejuvenation and Rhinoplasty
Facial procedures focus on restoring volume and correcting sagging tissues or deep wrinkles. For facelifts, the clinic offers several methods:
- Deep Plane Facelift for thorough tissue repositioning
- SMAS plication techniques
- Platysma plicature to address the neck area
Rhinoplasty services treat nasal aesthetics and breathing function together. Modern techniques preserve nasal anatomy while achieving the desired structural changes.
Breast and Body Contouring
The clinic offers breast augmentation, reduction, and mastopexy. For patients seeking a breast lift without implants, the Liacyr flap technique acts as a biological prosthesis. Mastopexy with implants may use the dual plane method or the Chiari L-technique.
Body contouring includes liposculpture to remove localized fat and various abdominal reshaping methods. The clinic offers MILA (Minimally Invasive Lipoabdominoplasty). This technique uses small incisions and tissue-retraction technologies, so recovery is faster than with traditional surgery.
Reconstructive and Intimate Surgery
Reconstructive services address deformities from congenital conditions or major weight loss, including post-bariatric cases. The practice also performs labiaplasty, most commonly for hypertrophy of the labia minora. Every surgical case involves a coordinated team covering anesthesia, nursing, and specialized monitoring.
Non-Surgical Aesthetic Treatments
The Cosmiatria department provides non-operative procedures for facial enhancement. These quick treatments work as standalone options or complement surgical results. Available services include:
- Botulinum toxin injections
- Dermal fillers for volume restoration
- Chemical peels
- Laser therapy
These treatments target skin quality and fine lines without the need for an operating room.
Recovery Support and Safety Protocols
Patient safety is managed through strict perioperative protocols, including rigorous asepsis and intraoperative monitoring. To support healing, the clinic offers hyperbaric oxygen therapy as a complementary treatment. This therapy helps tissue recovery after complex procedures in selected cases.
The clinic follows a structured postoperative plan. Specialists monitor swelling reduction and scar maturation over several months to achieve the best long-term results.
