Gynecomastia

Men also desire a proportionate, harmonious, virile body that expresses strength and masculinity. This is not always possible because men are also subject to the imperfections caused by aging.

One of the most well-known imperfections that affects them is gynecomastia, i.e. the pronounced development of the breast due to an increase in the mammary gland or the accumulation of fat. The causes of gynecomastia are generally due to hormonal problems, obesity, drinking alcohol  or just ageing. It is a very common condition nowadays in adult but also in young men

For men with a normal weight, a fit and athletic body, gynecomastia can generate embarrassment and loss of self-esteem because the body you live in is not very toned, not very virile and different from what you would like to have. Fortunately, it is possible to solve this complication and give a man’s chest the right shape and proportions back again. The final result? A more defined and attractive body for a more confident man.

A first consultation  allows me to understand the origin of gynecomastia and advise the patient on the appropriate type of surgeries, illustrate the risks and achievable results. The operation is performed under general anesthesia, takes about an hour and does not require hospitalization.

When gynecomastia depends on the increase in the mammary gland, I proceed with its removal, if it depends on excess fat, and we are talking about the majority of cases, I proceed with liposuction surgery. In many  cases where both conditions occur, it is possible to remove the mammary gland and aspirate the fat during the same operation in general with just a liposuction using special cannulas. When liposution is not enough i rarely use the open approach where a small incision is placed below the nipples to directly remove the glandular tissue.

In case the man presents skin excess or saggy breast I use in combination with surgery the use of Renuvion to give also skin retraction allowing maximum results. With this device I avoid  performing the ‘breast reduction’ technique leaving  big surgical  scars in the male chest.

Upon awakening, the chest will present swelling and for protective purposes I recommend the use of an elastic band for about three weeks. For three days it is essential to rest  . On the seventh  day or so after the operation I will remove the stitches. From the fourth week, finally, the final results can be appreciated: a uniform chest with natural lines and a more harmonious and beautiful body.

I had a breast augmentation with Dr Marcellino and my experience was outstanding. I had seen a few surgeons already by the time I met Dr Max and as soon as I had my consultation, I knew I had found the right surgeon. He has a very relaxed demeanour which immediately puts you at ease and he takes a lot of time to go through all the questions you might have. I'd done my research on his track record so knew I was in good hands. The operation went smoothly and I can't believe it has been 5 months already - I'm delighted with the results and only wish I had done it sooner!
I had a breast augmentation with Dr Max Marcellino and I am so happy with the results. I had been wanting a breast enlargement for years + I did a lot of research into the procedure and different surgeons in London and I wasn’t happy with any surgeon until I came across Dr Marcellino, who was recommended to me by a relative. Probably the best decision I ever made, having this surgery done by him as he is simply amazing! From the first appointment to my surgery and now in my recovery he and his team have been beyond excellent. I was very nervous about my surgery, I wasn’t too sure what to expect but the anaesthesiologists were amazing with keeping me calm as well as my Nurse ‘Esther’. Really made me feel comfortable and reassured me that everything will be okay and it did. Nearly a month into my recovery and I couldn’t be happier with my results, I am so glad that I chose Dr Marcellino because realistically I wouldn’t of had the surgery done if I didn’t find him.Thank you so much for making my confidence boost and making me feel beautiful :) I really recommend Dr Marcellino, and all the staff at The London Welbeck Hospital :)
I got a blepharoplasty done and I could not be more Happy with the results and healing process.

I would 100 recommend dr Marcellino and his plastic surgery staff. I had a breast reduction and breast lift and I am over the moon with the results that exceed my expectations. Thanks Massimiliano !
The most loveliest team! So much reassurance. I was SO nervous on the morning of my surgery, but they calmed me down to the point of me being asleep, then as soon as I came rounds they were SO lovely! They’re always on hand to help 24/7 with questions etc. Dr Marcellino’s work cannot get any better! So much of a confidence boost. So glad I chose him, and his team and I got it done! 🤍
I had an arm liposuction and breast augmentation with Dr. Marcellino exactly 20 days ago. From the first visit I was followed by him and on the day of the surgery we chose the size of the prosthesis that was best suited with my body. I was advised by Dr. Marcellino and I could not have made a better choice! The result of the breasts is wonderful, not to mention the finally thinner arms.The doctor is always available despite the distance that I live in Milan, he is always there for me.I can't wait to be able to wear low-cut dresses and bathing suit!
Cannot thank Dr Marcellino enough!! So SO happy with my results from my breast augmentation! Best decision I’ve ever made and you have all been amazing - from start to finish. The BEST!! Thank you xx
Mettere 5 stelle è riduttivo,se avessi potuto ne avrei messe di più, che dire oggi a distanza di un anno e mezzo sono felicissima di aver scelto il dott. Marcellino per la sua grandissima professionalità ed esperienza mi ha fatto un seno splendido, naturalissimo, lo risceglierei altre 100 volte!!!! Ne ho sentiti tanti e ho stolkerato tantissimi profili di altri medici prima di scegliere lui, e ho fatto bene!!!! Il TOPPPPP
