Dr. Manuel Díaz Guzmán — Breast Surgery

What Is Gynecomastia?

Gynecomastia is the enlargement of breast tissue in men, which can be due to excess glandular tissue, localized fat, or a combination of both. Corrective surgery removes that tissue to achieve a flatter, firmer chest contour.

Patients seek it out for both physical and emotional reasons: discomfort taking off their shirt in public, pain or sensitivity in the area, or an impact on confidence and self-esteem. The decision on technique and approach is made in consultation with Dr. Manuel Díaz Guzmán, based on your tissue composition and goal.

How Does Gynecomastia Surgery Work?

The process starts with a consultation where Dr. Manuel Díaz Guzmán evaluates whether the excess is mainly glandular, fatty, or mixed. That composition determines whether the approach is liposuction, surgical excision of the glandular tissue, or a combination of both.

Before surgery, a complete preoperative evaluation is done, which also rules out underlying medical causes that could be generating the excess tissue. The medical results determine whether you're fit to have surgery safely — your safety comes before a date on the calendar. The surgery is performed under anesthesia.

Technique and Considerations

There's no single approach for every patient. Dr. Manuel Díaz Guzmán defines the right technique during your evaluation, considering these factors:

  • Glandular vs. Fatty Composition
  • Liposuction
  • Surgical Excision
  • Excess Skin
  • Symmetry Between Sides
  • Underlying Medical Causes

What Are the Benefits of Gynecomastia Surgery?

The most reported benefits are a flatter, firmer chest contour, more comfort with your own body without a shirt, and better self-esteem from no longer having to hide or downplay the area.

Behind every result are Dr. Manuel Díaz Guzmán's credentials: training at INTEC, a residency in Plastic Surgery through RENACIP at Hospital Dr. Salvador B. Gautier, and membership in SODOCIPRE — verifiable, not just a marketing promise.

Frequently Asked Questions

The surgery is performed under anesthesia, so you don't feel pain during the procedure. During recovery it's normal to have discomfort, sensitivity, and swelling, managed with the medication plan Dr. Manuel Díaz Guzmán prescribes to each patient.
Recovery time varies depending on the technique used (liposuction, surgical excision, or combined) and how each patient responds. Dr. Manuel Díaz Guzmán gives you a specific estimate at your evaluation, along with instructions on rest, compression garment use, and follow-up.
The first changes are noticeable as the initial swelling goes down, but the final result takes longer as the chest finishes settling. Dr. Manuel Díaz Guzmán explains the expected healing process at your consultation.
Candidacy depends on your overall health, your tissue composition, and the goal you're looking for. Before any surgery, Dr. Manuel Díaz Guzmán requires a complete preoperative evaluation that also rules out underlying medical causes: the procedure is only scheduled if the results confirm you're in safe condition.
Glandular tissue removed surgically doesn't grow back, but significant weight gain or the use of certain substances can lead to new fat buildup in the area. Dr. Manuel Díaz Guzmán explains what care helps maintain the result.
It depends on the technique: if it's resolved with liposuction alone, the marks are minimal; if it requires surgical excision of tissue, a scar remains whose placement is planned to be as inconspicuous as possible. Dr. Manuel Díaz Guzmán explains what to expect for your case.
