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.

Dr. Daniel Borges: more details about the clinic
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.
