Liposuction for gynecomastia in Theodore Droubi

About the clinic

Gynecomastia surgery at the Theodore Droubi clinic in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, helps men reduce excess breast tissue for a more masculine chest profile. The clinic is known for its high-volume expertise, having treated over 60,000 patients. This procedure is performed by a team led by specialists with over 30 years of experience in plastic surgery.

Surgical Techniques and Technology

The clinic uses advanced body contouring tools to achieve precise results. Depending on your needs, the medical team may use Vibrolipo, Vaser, or High Definition Liposuction. These technologies help remove stubborn fat while protecting surrounding tissues. The surgery typically takes between 1 and 2 hours to complete.

  • Liposuction is used when the primary issue is excess fatty tissue.
  • Excision helps remove glandular tissue or excess skin for a tighter appearance.
  • Combined methods address cases involving both fat and glandular growth.

Hospitalization and Recovery

Patient comfort is a priority during the procedure. Doctors use either general anesthesia or regional anesthesia with sedation. Most patients can go home the same day, though some may stay overnight for observation. The recovery timeline allows for a quick return to daily life.

You can usually return to work within 3 to 7 days. Strenuous activities and heavy lifting should be avoided for about 2 to 3 weeks. The results of the surgery are permanent as long as a stable weight is maintained. This procedure effectively removes the physical and emotional discomfort caused by enlarged male breasts.

Clinic Expertise in Rio de Janeiro

The clinic is a member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP). This membership shows a commitment to recognized safety and surgical standards. The facility serves a large international community and provides support in English, French, and Arabic. The long-standing history of the clinic, founded over 30 years ago, supports its reputation for reliable care.

Theodore Droubi: more details about the clinic

Brazil, Rio de Janeiro
Theodore Droubi is a private plastic surgery clinic established in 1996 in the Copacabana district of Rio de Janeiro. Founded by Dr. Theodore Droubi, the practice focuses on aesthetic and restorative procedures for international and local patients.

Experience and Accreditations

The clinic has treated over 60,000 patients from around the world. Dr. Theodore Droubi leads the practice with around 30 years of medical experience. He is a member of the SBCP (Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery), the clinic's primary professional accreditation.

The medical team includes two doctors who specialize in surgical and non-surgical aesthetic care. Dr. Droubi trained at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. He then specialized at the Ivo Pitanguy School, a premier institution for plastic surgery training.

Plastic Surgery and Body Contouring

The clinic offers surgical options for the face, breasts, and body. Surgeons address concerns such as prominent ears, breast development issues, and localized fat. The surgical department performs:

  • Rhinoplasty and chin surgery for facial harmony
  • Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) and facelifts
  • Breast reduction, augmentation, and reconstruction
  • High Definition Liposuction (Lipo HD) with ultrasound and laser technology
  • Gynecomastia surgery to reduce male breast tissue

Body contouring reshapes the trunk and limbs through various surgical techniques. Surgeons use Vibrolipo and Vaser technologies for fat removal and skin tightening. These methods improve precision and can shorten recovery compared to traditional techniques.

Intimate Surgery and Female Health

Specialists perform delicate procedures for female genital aesthetics. These surgeries often address physical discomfort or functional concerns alongside aesthetic goals. Options include:

  • Labiaplasty to reduce the size of the labia minora or majora
  • Vaginoplasty to correct vaginal laxity
  • Perineoplasty for structural repair and refinement
  • Clitoral hood reduction and mons pubis volume reduction

Intimate surgeries typically take 1–2 hours under general or regional anesthesia. Most patients return to work within 7–14 days. The clinic advises against sexual relations for eight weeks after surgery to allow proper tissue healing.

Minimally Invasive Treatments

The clinic offers non-surgical alternatives for skin rejuvenation or fat reduction. These treatments are performed in an outpatient setting without traditional surgery. Options include:

  • Lipólise – a 25-minute laser-based treatment for non-surgical fat reduction
  • Injectable treatments using Botox® and Prosign® brands
  • Diamond microdermabrasion for skin resurfacing
  • Chemical peels and laser facial renewal

The non-surgical fat reduction program shows visible results in about six weeks. Since these procedures are minimally invasive, they require little to no downtime.

Services for International Patients

The clinic treats patients from various regions and maintains a multilingual environment. The medical team provides support and consultations in four languages:

  • English
  • French
  • Arabic
  • Portuguese

During the consultation, the surgeon creates a detailed treatment plan. This covers surgical steps, anesthesia types, and recovery expectations. All pre-operative instructions – including smoking cessation and medication management – are provided in the patient's preferred language.

Impeccable experience from start to finish! I would like to express my deep gratitude to Dr. Theodore Droubi. From the very first appointment, he stood out for his attentiveness, transparency, and utmost sincerity about the entire process. The surgery was an absolute success, and the postoperative support made all the difference in helping me feel safe and cared for at every moment. Today I can say, from the heart, that I am completely thrilled with the result! A humane, ethical, and extremely competent professional. I recommend him without hesitation.

I had my abdominoplasty with Dr. Theodore Droubi, and I am very satisfied. I had already had chin liposuction with him. He really transformed my life.
