About the clinic

Gynecomastia correction surgery at the clinic of Dr. Daniel Borges in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, helps men restore a flat, masculine chest contour.

The clinic holds international TEMOS accreditation, which demonstrates a high commitment to patient safety and quality of care.

Diagnostic process for male breast reduction

Before any surgical intervention, patients undergo a thorough medical evaluation. This process identifies the cause of the breast enlargement and helps plan the specific surgical approach. The diagnostic stage includes several steps:

  • Plastic surgery consultation. Dr. Daniel Borges evaluates the chest tissue and discusses the patient's medical history.
  • Pre-operative blood count. This test checks for signs of infection or anemia before surgery.
  • Electrocardiogram (ECG). Doctors use this to monitor heart health for safe anesthesia administration.
  • Chest X-rays. These provide a clear view of the internal chest structure.

Gynecomastia correction surgery methods

The clinic uses a combination of techniques to achieve a natural chest shape. Treatment typically involves removing both fatty tissue and enlarged glands. Most patients receive local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the complexity of the case. The procedure is usually performed on an outpatient basis at Hospital Lifecenter, allowing patients to go home after a few hours.

  • Liposuction. This step removes excess fat from the chest area through small incisions.
  • Glandular excision. Dr. Daniel Borges makes a small periareolar incision to remove firm glandular tissue.
  • Skin removal. If the breast enlargement was significant, the surgeon removes excess skin to prevent sagging.

Recovery and post-operative care

The recovery process is designed to be smooth and predictable. Patients can typically return to their normal daily routine in about 1 week. To help the skin adhere to the new contour and reduce swelling, patients must wear a compression vest for around 4 weeks. Dr. Daniel Borges provides educational e-books and checklists to help patients manage their recovery at home. To learn more about the procedure or to get a personalized evaluation, you can request a consultation through Bookimed.

Dr. Daniel Borges: more details about the clinic

Brazil, Belo Horizonte

Dr. Daniel Borges is a plastic surgery clinic in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. The practice focuses on aesthetic and reconstructive procedures. Dr. Daniel Borges leads the clinic, providing a personalized approach. This begins with detailed surgical preparation and continues through long-term recovery monitoring.

Accreditations and Clinical Credentials

The practice maintains high clinical safety standards. The clinic holds TEMOS accreditation and is a member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP). These certifications show adherence to international and national safety protocols for surgical environments.

Dr. Daniel Borges serves as a preceptor for the plastic surgery residency program at Hospital das Clinicas (UFMG). He completed his medical training at the Faculty of Medical Sciences of Minas Gerais. His surgical background includes a General Surgery residency at Santa Casa de Belo Horizonte and a Plastic Surgery residency at FHEMIG.

Plastic Surgery and Body Contouring

The clinic performs body contouring and breast procedures designed to improve physical proportions. Gluteoplasty has seen 60% growth in patient demand over the last five years. For breast surgery, the clinic uses high-quality silicone implants with multiple coating layers and cohesive gel.

Procedures available for body and breast enhancement include:

  • Abdominoplasty and mini-abdominoplasty to address excess abdominal skin
  • Liposculpture, which grafts processed fat into areas like the buttocks
  • Reduction mammaplasty and mastopexy to reshape breast tissue
  • Gynecomastia surgery to reduce male breast tissue
  • Vaser liposuction for precise fat removal

Patients typically return to routine activities within 20 to 30 days after body contouring. Recovery often involves compression garments for 60 days and lymphatic drainage massage.

Facial Procedures and Aesthetic Medicine

Facial surgeries address both structural corrections and aesthetic refinement. Rhinoplasty adjusts nasal size, projects the tip, or reduces the nasal bone. Otoplasty corrects ear positioning and anti-helix curvature. It is typically recommended for patients above 7 years of age.

The clinic offers several facial and aesthetic treatments:

  • Blepharoplasty to correct eyelid drooping or puffiness
  • Rhinoplasty for aesthetic or functional nose reshaping
  • Otoplasty to treat prominent ears
  • Facial fillers and Allergan Botox injections for wrinkle reduction
  • Hair transplants to treat female pattern hair loss

Most facial surgeries involve discreet scarring. For otoplasty, incisions are hidden behind the ear. Surgeons provide specific guidelines on sun avoidance and medication use to manage post-operative swelling.

Safety Protocols and Patient Services

Surgical safety is managed through transparent anesthesia consultations and thorough pre-operative screening. Dr. Borges evaluates patient eligibility by ordering blood counts, X-rays, and electrocardiograms. Anesthesia options range from local anesthesia with sedation to general or peridural anesthesia.

Recovery protocols are established for every procedure type:

  • Intimate surgery patients are typically discharged 6 hours after the procedure
  • Stitches for liposculpture are generally removed between days 7 and 10
  • Gynecomastia recovery requires a compression vest for about four weeks
  • Hair transplant results emerge over several months as new roots develop

The clinic provides educational materials to help patients prepare for elective surgery. These resources focus on managing expectations and reducing uncertainty before and after the procedure.

My experience with Dr. Daniel Borges was excellent from the first appointment through the postoperative period. He was always very attentive and careful, and he calmly answered all my questions. The postoperative period was exceptional. Dr. Daniel was very present and closely followed my entire recovery, always available and attentive to each stage of the process. That gave me a lot of confidence and made all the difference in my experience. I am very satisfied with the result and with all the care I received. I can only thank Dr. Daniel and the team for all their professionalism and attentiveness. I highly recommend! ❤️

I had a breast augmentation with Dr. Daniel and my experience was excellent. I met Dr. Daniel through a recommendation and it was, without a doubt, an excellent choice. Even though I decided to have the surgery on a short timeline, with less than a month between the first consultation and the surgery, I felt very safe throughout the entire process. Dr. Daniel explained everything clearly, answered my questions, and gave me great confidence. I would also like to praise the entire team: the secretary Vanessa, always very attentive and helpful; the scrub nurse Luciana, very friendly and professional; Sabrina, extremely careful in the postoperative period; and Cibele, in charge of the lymphatic drainage sessions, always very punctual. Another highlight is that the procedure was performed at Hospital Life Center. The hospital’s facilities are excellent and the whole experience exceeded my expectations. The operating room, nursing, and anesthesia teams were extremely attentive, professional, and welcoming. Everything was organized and safe, which made me even more at ease. The care was excellent at every stage. I had a very smooth recovery, healed beautifully, and was extremely satisfied with the result. I recommend Dr. Daniel and the entire team. It was a 10 out of 10 experience from start to finish!

Dr. Daniel is a very attentive, careful, compassionate, and dedicated physician. I always felt welcomed, safe, and very well guided at every stage of the process. His expertise and kindness with patients make all the difference. After more than 20 years dreaming of this moment, I am immensely grateful to Dr. Daniel Borges for making this dream come true with such excellence, care, and professionalism. My thanks also go to the entire clinic team, his secretary Vanessa and his nurse Luciana, who were always very welcoming and attentive. I wholeheartedly recommend them to everyone seeking care with quality, trust, and humanity.

Excellent professional, incredible team. I was very well cared for from the pre-op through the post-op. In every appointment, Dr. Daniel instilled a lot of confidence in me and answered all my questions about the surgery. I had some apprehension about going through with it, but from the first consultation I knew I was in good hands. The result turned out even better than I expected. I have no words to thank everyone.
