Gynecomastia is a condition seen in some males, where their breast area is quite prominent due to the enlargement of glandular and fatty tissues. The condition may be visible right from infancy or sometimes when the boys hit puberty.

Look and feel around your nipple area. Does your chest look unusually enlarged? Does your nipple area feel rubbery? Do you feel sensitivity or tenderness around the area? Do you notice swelling around the area? If this is around both breasts, it could quite likely be Gynecomastia; though just one breast could also be affected in some cases.

If you exhibit any of these symptoms, consult a doctor to confirm the condition and rule out male breast cancer.

Although exercises and weight loss can reduce the appearance of male breast or gynecomastia in men, in most cases, the excess glandular tissue is too prominent, causing even slim patients to have noticeable breast areas. With the current technologies available to treat gynecomastia, male breast reduction surgery or gynecomastia surgery is the long-lasting and aesthetically preferred procedure by most men suffering from the condition.

Gynecomastia surgery is a type of liposuction surgery. In most cases, it is done as liposuction with gland resection. This typically involves a small incision on both sides of the chest, along the edge of the areola, or within the armpit, according to the surgeon’s choice. The gynecomastia surgeon will remove the excess fat and glandular tissue to help sculpt a new chest that looks natural and matches your body’s contours through these incisions.

Are you an adult male with enlarged breasts that make you self-conscious and uncomfortable about the shape of your chest? Do you avoid wearing tight clothing, taking part in certain activities like swimming, or taking off your shirt in a crowd? If yes, then Gynecomastia surgery could be the right option for you.

While excessive weight is one of the main reasons for enlarged male chests, various lean patients also suffer from enlarged breasts due to abnormal growth of tissues.

At our clinic in Dubai, Gynecomastia surgery is mostly performed under local anesthesia or IV sedation.

Most men are able to go back to work within 3-7 days of surgery.

Gynecomastia surgery is a very safe procedure, but the following complications may be seen:

• Swelling
• Excessive bleeding
• Temporary numbness
• Temporary or permanent loss of sensation in the areola or nipples
• Contour irregularities

The recovery procedure is quite tolerable compared to the liposuction procedure on other body areas. Post-surgery, the gynecomastia patients are given a compression garment to reduce the swelling and assist the tissue healing. Although vigorous workouts are off-limits for a minimum of 3 weeks, most men can return to their regular routines, including work in a few days after the surgery (typically 3 to 7 days).

Post-surgery, there will be an immediate visible improvement in the shape and appearance of your chest area.

For best results, strictly follow the care instructions of your plastic surgeon before and after the surgery. The gynecomastia surgery results are mostly permanent once the excess fat and glandular tissue are removed.
