01Plastic surgery procedures for men in Paris
Demand among men for plastic surgery is rising steadily. What men look for above all is a natural, undetectable result: correcting what bothers them without altering the face or the body contour. Several procedures meet these expectations, from the chest to the face.
Gynecomastia: correcting an over-developed male chest
Gynecomastia is the leading male procedure. It corrects an excessive development of the chest — glandular, fatty or mixed in origin — through liposuction and/or removal of the gland, to restore a flat, masculine chest. It is a common concern, thought to affect a significant proportion of men at some point in their lives.
Refining the male body contour
Liposuction removes stubborn fat deposits (love handles, belly, flanks), while mons pubis (pubic) liposuction clears the pubic area. For a loose belly after weight loss, abdominoplasty tightens the abdominal wall; in athletic men, abdominal etching redefines the muscular contours.
Rejuvenating the male face
A facelift and blepharoplasty (eyelids) correct tiredness and sagging around the eyes while preserving masculine features — the goal being a rested face, never an over-smoothed one.
Aesthetic medicine for men
Without surgery, aesthetic medicine (Botox and hyaluronic acid used sparingly) softens deep wrinkles and redefines the jawline, for a subtle result suited to the male face.
02An approach tailored to men
Men’s skin is thicker and more vascular, and hair growth and expectations differ: each step is therefore designed to respect masculine volumes and lines. The watchword remains discretion — a result that those around you notice as « looking well » rather than as surgery. Stopping smoking is recommended for good scar healing.
03The procedure and recovery
Every journey begins with a consultation with Dr Vincent Hunsinger, in Paris 17th, including an examination, an explanation of the technique and a quote, followed by the legally required cooling-off period. Depending on the procedure, anaesthesia is local or general and the operation is most often performed on an outpatient basis. Recovery is generally straightforward; for gynecomastia, wearing a compression vest for a few weeks is standard, with a quick return to work.
04Prices and insurance coverage in Paris
The cost depends on the procedure and the technique; it is set out in a personalised quote provided at the consultation, fees included. Most procedures are cosmetic and remain the patient’s responsibility. Gynecomastia may, however, qualify for partial coverage by the French national health insurance when it is of confirmed glandular origin, established by a medical work-up, according to the criteria in force. This is assessed on a case-by-case basis.

05Your questions
Is gynecomastia covered by insurance?+
Gynecomastia may be partially covered by the French national health insurance when it is of confirmed glandular origin, established by a medical work-up, according to the criteria in force. The purely cosmetic part (isolated excess fat) remains the patient’s responsibility. This is reviewed at the consultation.
Do the results stay natural and discreet?+
That is precisely the goal for men: restoring masculine volumes and lines without an « operated-on » look. Each step is calibrated for a result that people notice as looking better, not as surgery.
How much time off should I plan after gynecomastia?+
The return to work is generally quick, within a few days to a week depending on your activity. A compression vest is worn for several weeks and sport is resumed gradually.
Aesthetic medicine or plastic surgery for men?+
For wrinkles or early sagging, aesthetic medicine (discreet injections) is often enough. For gynecomastia, stubborn fat or established sagging, surgery delivers a lasting result. The consultation points you towards the right approach.
What is the price of plastic surgery for men in Paris?+
It depends on the procedure (gynecomastia, liposuction, abdominoplasty, facelift, etc.). A detailed quote, fees included, is provided at the consultation at the Rive Droite Paris Étoile practice.
