Male gynecomastia surgery
Plastic Surgery
Gynecomastia is a medical condition refers to the abnormal enlargement of breast tissue in males. It can occur at any age but is most common during puberty and in older age due to hormonal changes. Gynecomastia may result from imbalances in estrogen (female hormone) and testosterone (male hormone) levels, leading to breast tissue proliferation. Certain medications, health conditions, or lifestyle factors can also cause it. Gynecomastia can cause discomfort, tenderness, and embarrassment for those affected, impacting their self-esteem and quality of life. If you are seeking gynecomastia surgery in Dubai, our clinic offers access to top surgeons at affordable costs, conveniently located near you.
Who needs gynecomastia surgery?
- Persistent breast tissue enlargement despite lifestyle changes.
- Physical discomfort or tenderness in the breast area.
- Psychological distress or impact on self-esteem.
- Lack of improvement with non-surgical treatments.
- Desire for a more masculine chest contour and confidence restoration.
- Personal decision after consultation with a healthcare professional.
Procedure
The surgical process for treating gynecomastia entails the removal of excess breast tissue and fat in order to achieve a chest contour that appears more masculine. Then under either general or local anesthesia, incisions are strategically made around the areola or in chest creases.
The surgeon employs liposuction and excision techniques through these incisions to eliminate tissue and fat. Patients typically go home the same day and wear compression garments to aid healing. Meanwhile, results are visible shortly after surgery but improve over several weeks to months as swelling decreases. Hence follow-up appointments ensure optimal healing and results.

Gynecomastia surgery offers several benefits:

Risks & Side Effects
Gynecomastia surgery is generally safe; however, there are potential risks and side effects to consider:
- Swelling: Temporary swelling is common post-surgery.
- Excessive bleeding: Though rare, excessive bleeding may occur during or after the procedure.
- Temporary numbness: It may occur in the treated area for some patients as a potential side effect of the procedure.
- Temporary or permanent loss of sensation: Sensation loss in the areola or nipples might occur temporarily or permanently.
