Define contours and muscle tone, and enhance a masculine appearance.
Through body masculinisation, we remove fat from areas such as the chest and buttocks to redefine body contours, eliminate breast tissue, enhance muscle definition and achieve a more masculine appearance — without the need for implants or artificial methods.
For trans individuals undergoing a transition towards a more masculine physique, these treatments are essential to remove fat from areas commonly associated with a feminine body, such as the chest or buttocks. This fat can then be reused to sculpt a more masculine musculature, such as the pectorals and abdominal muscles.

What is body masculinisation?
Through body masculinisation, we redefine body contours and achieve a more masculine appearance using procedures such as mastectomy and LipoSculpt 4D liposculpture. This involves removing localised fat from areas such as the abdomen, chest and flanks, enhancing muscle definition and creating a more athletic, sculpted profile.
Mastectomy
This surgical procedure removes breast tissue to achieve a flat, masculine chest. It is a key intervention in the gender-affirming process for trans men and non-binary individuals, offering a natural and well-defined result.
There are two main surgical techniques:
- Subcutaneous mastectomy, where breast tissue is removed while preserving part of the skin and/or areola.
- Horizontal mastectomy, recommended when a larger amount of tissue needs to be removed due to breast volume. A horizontal incision allows better chest reshaping and, if necessary, repositioning of the nipple.
In addition, a complementary technique called lipofilling may be used. This involves injecting the patient’s own fat to improve the contour, symmetry or volume of the chest, achieving an even more harmonious result.
LipoSculpt 4D
LipoSculpt 4D is an advanced liposculpture technique developed by Clínica Brasó. It removes localised fat and enhances muscle definition to achieve a more masculine, athletic, and balanced body contour.
This is the only technique that supports your body masculinisation process without the need for implants. We use your own excess fat to sculpt a more masculine appearance — targeting areas such as the shoulders, chest, abdomen, calves, thighs, and inner arms — helping you feel more aligned with your gender identity.
Key Features of Body Masculinisation
Technique
Surgery under general anaesthesia combined with single-shot nerve block guided by high-resolution ultrasound to minimise postoperative pain.
Duration
Between 2 and 5 hours of surgery
Hospitalisation
Yes, one overnight stay
Recovery
The budget includes specific post-operative care for 10 days following the surgery, consisting of a combination of lymphatic drainage, Indiba, and ultrasound treatments. Relative rest is recommended for the first 2 weeks, and intense exercise should be avoided for at least 4–6 weeks, always under medical supervision. Additionally, a post-surgical compression garment must be worn for 1 month.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I’m a candidate for body masculinisation?
If you are a transgender or gender-diverse individual seeking body masculinisation to align your physical appearance with your gender identity and improve your wellbeing, Clínica Brasó is the ideal option for you.
What is postoperative care like?
After body masculinisation, it’s normal to feel tired during the first 24 to 48 hours. Once this initial phase has passed, and depending on your activity level, you can gradually return to your normal routine.
In some cases, you may benefit from Cryosense Cabin sessions, lymphatic drainage, or ultrasound therapy (these are included in the treatment plan), to support the reduction of inflammation and help optimise results based on your specific case.
Are the results permanent?
Yes — as long as you maintain a healthy lifestyle. However, factors such as weight changes and ageing may affect long-term outcomes.
Will there be visible scars?
In the case of mastectomy, it depends on the surgical technique used (subcutaneous, with lipofilling, or horizontal). We will discuss this in detail during your consultation and assessment.
LipoSculpt 4D does not typically leave visible scars. In rare cases, small incisions are made in strategic areas to ensure they are virtually unnoticeable once healed.
