Liposuction for gynecomastia at Dr. Edmar Minchio — Plastic Surgery in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, corrects enlarged male breasts. This procedure uses a combined technique to create a flat, natural chest contour. Dr. Edmar Minchio, a member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP), performs this surgery with a focus on minimal scarring and rapid recovery.
Correction of the male chest begins with a clear diagnosis. True gynecomastia involves the growth of glandular tissue, while lipomastia is simply an accumulation of fat. Dr. Edmar Minchio uses clinical exams and ultrasound to determine the tissue composition. This helps him create a personalized plan for each patient. For most cases, he uses a combined method. This involves both liposuction to remove fat and glandular excision to remove firm tissue. The surgery takes place in a hospital setting and lasts between 1 and 3 hours.
Dr. Edmar Minchio prioritizes discreet results. He makes a small 5 mm incision along the lower border of the areola. He also makes tiny punctures for the liposuction cannula. These techniques help keep scars minimal. Over 6 to 12 months, the marks typically fade into the natural skin of the areola. The surgery uses either general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation to keep the patient comfortable.
Patients can usually return to light daily activities within 7 to 14 days. Following specific post-operative steps helps the healing process. Patients must follow these guidelines:
While initial healing happens quickly, final results appear between 3 and 6 months after the procedure. This allows time for the skin to retract and the chest to reach its final shape.
Dr. Edmar Minchio is a specialist in male plastic surgery. He completed his residency at the Hospital da Plástica in Rio de Janeiro. As a member of the SBCP, he follows recognized safety protocols. His experience in gynecomastia correction helps patients achieve a more masculine chest profile with very little visible evidence of surgery.

The clinic offers body and facial surgeries in equipped hospital settings. Each procedure starts with individualized planning based on the patient's goals and proportions. Surgical programs include:
For abdominoplasty, the clinic offers both classic and mini-tummy tuck options. These procedures address excess skin and repair abdominal diastasis (muscle separation). Patients typically return to light activities after 3 weeks. Full physical exertion is usually permitted by 6 to 8 weeks post-surgery.
Male rhinoplasty patients receive plans focused on maintaining masculine facial harmony. Nose correction sessions generally last 2 to 3 hours under general anesthesia. Initial results appear as swelling resolves. Final outcomes consolidate between 6 and 12 months.
Non-surgical treatments take place in the clinic's consultation rooms. These options work as alternatives or complements to surgery for skin rejuvenation. Dr. Minchio uses hyaluronic acid fillers for facial contouring based on movement patterns and proportions. Other injectable services include:
Each Skinbooster session is customized by determining specific application points and product quantities. This matches the technique to the patient's skin quality and fine line depth.
The clinic uses specialized technologies to improve surgical results and recovery. Renuvion provides skin tightening during contouring procedures. For Lipo HD, the surgeon focuses on precise fat removal to create muscle definition. The practice also uses a CO2 Hybrid Laser for scar management and facial rejuvenation.
International patients receive direct attention from Dr. Minchio, who provides follow-up on the day of surgery. The clinic staff speaks Portuguese, English, and Spanish. For complex recoveries like Lipo HD, the clinic provides a structured timeline. Lymphatic drainage starts on the third day, with continuous compression support for several weeks. Gynecomastia patients receive specific 48-hour rest protocols and healing evaluations during the first week.
