Gynecomastia Surgery for Men

With over 30 years of experience in Paris, France, Dr. Moujab Awad brings a wealth of expertise to his Dubai clinic. We understand the impact that enlarged male breasts, or gynecomastia, can have on your confidence and comfort. This condition, often resulting from hormonal imbalances, genetics, or certain medications, leads to excess glandular tissue and/or fat in the chest. Our clinic provides advanced surgical solutions tailored to restore a masculine chest contour and improve your self-image.

Indications for Consulting Dr. Moujab Awad

  • Feeling tenderness in the breast area.
  • Noticeable swelling of breast tissue.
  • A desire to remove excess breast fat.
  • Dissatisfaction with the appearance of your chest.
  • Changes in the way your breasts look or feel.
  • Pain or soreness in the chest area.
  • Nipple discharge occurring in one or both breasts.

Surgery Preparation

Preparing for gynecomastia surgery is an important step in ensuring a successful outcome and a smooth recovery. Gynecomastia, the condition of enlarged male breast tissue, can significantly affect self-confidence and well-being. If you’ve scheduled a surgery with a specialist such as Dr. Moujab Awad or any qualified plastic surgeon, here’s how to best prepare for the procedure

  1. Understand the Procedure: Learn about the techniques used, potential risks, and expected outcomes. This is also the time to discuss your goals and set realistic expectations.
  2. Medical History Review: Provide a detailed account of your medical history, including any medications, allergies, and previous surgeries.
  3. Physical Examination: The surgeon will examine your breast tissue to determine the best surgical approach.
  4. Medication Adjustments: Inform your surgeon about all the medications and supplements you’re taking. You may need to adjust or discontinue certain substances, especially those that can increase bleeding risk, such as aspirin or ibuprofen.

The Surgery

  • Liposuction: This technique is used to remove excess fat from the breast area. It involves making small incisions and using a cannula to suction out fat.
  • Excision: This method is required when glandular breast tissue or excess skin must be removed to correct the gynecomastia. Incisions may vary based on the amount of tissue to be removed and may be around the areola or within the natural creases of the chest.
  • Tissue Removal and Reshaping: Through the incisions, the surgeon will remove excess fat and glandular tissue and, if necessary, excise excess skin. In some cases, the size of the areola is reduced, and the nipple may be repositioned to a more natural male contour.
  • The Incision: The incision patterns depend on the specific conditions and surgical technique. They are usually minimized and placed in inconspicuous locations to reduce visible scarring.

Gynecomastia surgery, while significant, can vastly improve a man’s quality of life, boosting confidence and comfort. It’s vital to have a thorough consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon who can assess your specific case, discuss the potential risks and benefits, and guide you through making an informed decision.

Recovery and Results

After the procedure, there will be a period of swelling and bruising, and a compression garment should be worn to support the healing tissues. Most patients return to work and normal activities within a week or two, following their surgeon’s specific post-operative instructions.

Pain and discomfort are typically managed with prescribed medication. While immediate improvements are noticeable, the final results may take several months to fully develop as the swelling subsides.

Frequently asked questions

What is Gynecomastia?

Gynecomastia is a condition that results in enlarged breast tissue in males. It can affect men and boys at different life stages, including the newborn period, puberty, and older adulthood, often due to an imbalance of hormones like testosterone and estrogen.

What Causes Gynecomastia?

The condition is most commonly caused by an imbalance between the hormones estrogen and testosterone. Estrogen, the hormone that promotes female breast tissue growth, outweighs testosterone, the hormone that should counteract breast tissue growth in males. Factors contributing to this imbalance include puberty, aging, certain medications, and health conditions affecting hormonal balance.

How is Gynecomastia Diagnosed?

Diagnosis typically involves a physical exam and may include tests such as blood tests, mammograms, CT scans, MRI scans, or testicular ultrasounds to rule out other conditions and to check for any underlying health issues that could be causing the breast tissue enlargement.

What are the Treatment Options for Gynecomastia?

Treatment depends on the cause, severity, and duration of the condition. Options can range from watchful waiting to see if the condition resolves on its own, especially in teenage boys, to medications or surgery. Surgical options include liposuction to remove excess fat and/or excision of excess glandular tissue.

Is Surgery for Gynecomastia Safe?

Like any surgical procedure, gynecomastia surgery carries risks such as reaction to anesthesia, blood clots, infection, and uneven chest contours. However, it is considered safe and effective for those who are good candidates. Discussing individual risks and benefits with a qualified surgeon is essential for making an informed decision.
