About the clinic

Patients benefit from techniques tailored to their specific condition, whether it involves excess glandular tissue, fat, or a mix of both.
Expertise in plastic surgery
Dr. Xênia Portella leads the surgical team with extensive credentials in aesthetic and reconstructive medicine. As a titular member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP), Dr. Xênia Portella has practiced for over 20 years. Dr. Xênia Portella also serves on the SBCP/MG Scientific Committee and holds the title of Honorary President for regional medical symposiums. The clinic operates in two locations in the Santo Agostinho neighborhood and offers consultations in Cascais, Portugal.
Gynecomastia treatment options
The clinic addresses male breast enlargement through reduction mammoplasty. The chosen method depends on the severity and type of tissue present in the chest area.
- Plastic surgery consultation. This initial step allows the surgeon to evaluate the degree of enlargement and plan the surgical approach.
- Gynecomastia reduction mammoplasty. This surgery removes excess glandular tissue and fat to create a flatter chest contour.
- U-shaped incision technique. The surgeon typically makes a small incision at the lower border of the areola. This placement helps make the resulting scars less visible.
- Advanced reduction. For severe cases with significant skin laxity, the surgeon may use larger incisions to remove excess skin and reposition the nipple.
Recovery and post-operative care
Success after gynecomastia surgery depends on following a specific recovery protocol. The clinic provides detailed instructions to help patients manage healing and maintain their new chest shape. Patients should expect the following stages during their recovery:
- Initial healing. Swelling and bruising are common for the first 7 to 10 days after the procedure.
- Compression therapy. Patients must wear a specialized compression vest for 30 to 45 days. This vest helps reduce swelling and supports the chest tissues.
- Activity restrictions. While light movement is encouraged, patients must avoid heavy exercise and strenuous lifting for 3 months.
- Scar management. The U-shaped incision technique aims for discreet results, though final scar maturation takes several months.
