"Retrouvez" is rendered as "Regain" to convey restoration of masculinity, and "Torse Masculin et Affirmé" becomes "Masculine and Confident Chest" for natural phrasing.)* --- **Output (translation only):** Gynecomastia in Algiers: Regain a Masculine and Confident Chest
Gynecomastia, or the development of breasts in men, is a common source of self-consciousness, embarrassment, and can hinder social and athletic activities. Dr. Madjoudj, an internationally renowned Algerian plastic surgeon, fully understands the psychological impact of this condition. In Algiers, he offers effective and permanent surgical solutions tailored to each individual case. Whether through liposuction alone for fat-based gynecomastia, or a combination of liposuction and glandular resection for cases involving excess glandular tissue, he sculpts a flat, firm, and naturally masculine chest with minimal scarring.

Why Choose Dr. Madjoudj for Your Gynecomastia Surgery in Algiers
A male surgical expertise paired with a sensitive psychological approach to address a frequently stigmatized issue.
01
Specialized Expertise in Male Breast Surgery
Dr. Madjoudj has extensive experience in treating gynecomastia. He deeply understands male anatomy and knows how to avoid potential complications, such as subareolar depression or asymmetry.
02
Tailored Dual Technique
He doesn't offer a one-size-fits-all solution. Instead, he tailors his technique—whether liposuction alone or combined with other methods—to the exact composition of your tissues, ensuring the most effective and least invasive treatment possible.
03
Minimal and Discreet Scarring
Liposuction incisions measure 2-3 mm and are placed within natural skin folds. The incision for glandular resection is discreetly hidden along the areola border, making it virtually undetectable.
04
Compassionate and Reassuring Approach
Understanding the discomfort this condition can cause, Dr. Madjoudj takes a straightforward, professional, and non-judgmental approach to put patients at ease, whether they are teenagers or adults.
Dr. Madjoudj's Philosophy: A Redesigned Torso, Restored Confidence
Gynaecomastia treatment goes far beyond being just a cosmetic procedure; it's often a path to liberation. Dr. Madjoudj focuses on achieving results that allow patients to feel comfortable and confident in their own bodies, free from insecurities.
The Invaluable Diagnosis of the Gland
The key to success lies in distinguishing between fat and glandular tissue. A simple liposuction procedure isn't enough to remove fibrous, persistent glandular tissue. Dr. Madjoudj's expertise allows him to precisely assess this glandular component through palpation, and to clearly explain to patients whether their case requires the dual-approach technique for optimal, flat results.
The Art of Subareolar Glandular Resection
Removing the gland without creating a hollow area is a technical procedure. With the precision of a plastic surgeon, Dr. Madjoudj carefully extracts the excess glandular tissue by "shelling it out" from the inside, leaving a thin, uniform layer attached to the areola's skin. This technique maintains the natural continuity of the pectoral contour and prevents an undesirable sunken appearance.

Dr. Madjoudj Ahcene
Say Goodbye to Insecurities, Rediscover Your Confidence
The treatment of gynecomastia requires a thorough understanding of tissue composition (fat vs. glandular) and a tailored surgical approach. Based in Algiers, Dr. Madjoudj leverages his international expertise in breast surgery and liposculpture to provide precise diagnoses. His background in reconstructive surgery gives him exceptional mastery of male chest anatomy. He doesn't simply perform fat removal—he carefully assesses whether glandular tissue needs excision through a discreet periareolar incision. His goal is to achieve symmetrical, natural-looking contours while preventing areolar depression, creating a chest that appears untouched. He treats numerous patients—both adolescents and adults—from Algeria and its diaspora communities.

Examen45 minutes
Diagnostic Consultation and Tissue Assessment
Dr. Madjoudj examines your chest to determine the nature of your gynecomastia: whether it is primarily fatty (adipose), glandular, or a mix of both. He palpates the area to assess the presence and firmness of the gland beneath the areola. He also looks for potential underlying causes (such as medication or hormonal factors) and may recommend an endocrinological evaluation if necessary. Dr. Madjoudj clearly explains whether liposuction alone will be sufficient or if glandular resection is required.

Intervention1 to 2 hours
Customized Surgery: Liposuction and/or Glandular Resection
Performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. Dr. Madjoudj always begins with liposuction of the pectoral area to remove excess fat and refine contours. If a firm, residual gland is palpable, he then makes a small incision (a few millimeters) along the lower edge of the areola or in the armpit to remove the excess glandular tissue, carefully preserving a thin layer beneath the areola to prevent unsightly indentation (crater deformity). The incisions are so discreet they become virtually invisible.
- Systematic liposuction for slimming and refining body contours
- Glandular resection via micro-incision if necessary
- Preserving a thin subareolar layer for a more natural contour.
- Minimal and strategically placed scars

Post-opératoire2-3 weeks
Fast Recovery and Long-Lasting Results
A compression garment (similar to a vest) is worn 24/7 for 3 to 4 weeks to reduce swelling and help the skin retract. Bruising and swelling typically subside within 10 to 15 days. Physical activities can be resumed after one month. The final result is a flat, masculine chest contour, which is permanent since the removed gland does not regrow. Self-confidence is significantly enhanced.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
The removed breast tissue does not regenerate, making this aspect of the results permanent. However, significant weight gain in the future could lead to fat accumulation in the chest area (pseudo-gynecomastia) just as it would elsewhere in the body. Maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle remains important.
It is generally recommended to wait until the end of puberty (around 16-18 years old) when hormonal development has stabilized. However, if gynecomastia causes significant psychological distress (such as teasing or social withdrawal), earlier intervention may be considered following an endocrinological evaluation and discussion with the parents.
The postoperative effects are moderate, similar to the intense muscle soreness experienced after strenuous physical activity. Any discomfort is effectively managed with pain medication. Most patients report feeling the compression of the garment more noticeably than actual pain.
It is essential to wear it 24/7 for the first 3-4 weeks, then only at night for an additional 2-3 weeks. The garment helps reduce swelling, supports skin retraction, and shapes the new contours. Skipping wear time may compromise your final results.
Avoid straining the pectoral muscles for 1 month. Gentle walking is encouraged from the first days. Impact sports (like running) can resume after 3 weeks. Chest weight training should be delayed for 4 to 6 weeks to allow for proper healing.
A temporary reduction in sensitivity may occur, particularly if glandular resection was performed. Sensitivity typically returns gradually within a few months. Temporary hypersensitivity is also possible.
For gynecomastia surgery, plan to stay for approximately 10 to 12 days. The procedure takes place at the beginning of your stay, and the compression garment will be applied immediately afterward. Follow-up care is provided before your departure. You will leave with the compression garment and wear it as instructed.
The cost depends on the technique used (liposuction alone or combined). It is determined during the consultation and includes all expenses (surgery, anesthesia, clinic, compression garment, follow-up care). A detailed quote is provided to you.
