What is gynecomastia?

Gynecomastia is a condition where there are overdeveloped or enlarged breasts in men. This condition can occur at any age and can result from obesity, the use of particular drugs, hereditary issues, or hormonal changes. 

This condition is characterized by:

  • Excess localized fat
  • Excess breast skin
  • Excess glandular tissue development

The weight of the excess breast tissues causes the breasts to sag. In severe cases of gynecomastia, some people may also find the areola stretched.

What is gynecomastia surgery?

Gynecomastia surgery is a surgical procedure performed by a plastic surgeon to reduce the size of breasts in men, flattening and giving them more masculine chest contours. This surgery is considered an outpatient procedure, meaning you only have to spend a few hours at the clinic as you plan to head back home during the surgery day. 

Who is a good candidate for gynecomastia surgery?

Gynecomastia is not a weight loss program or a method to treat obesity. Ideal candidates are of good health, without any underlying conditions, and those that are looking to complement their exercising and dieting efforts. 

Here’s how you can know if you are a good candidate for gynecomastia: 

  • Your condition cannot be treated effectively through other alternative medical treatments.
  • You are not a smoker or use recreational drugs. A good candidate for the surgery should also be able to quit alcohol intake before and during recovery.
  • You should have specific and realistic goals and know what exactly gynecomastia will do for you.
  • Your breasts are fully developed.
  • The condition should not be as a result of hormonal issues. Your doctor may recommend alternative treatment options if your gynecomastia is a result of hormonal issues.

The procedure

Before surgery

You will first go through consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon in Dubai to assess your condition. During the initial consultation, your gynecomastia surgeon will: 

  • Evaluate your general health and also go through your health records
  • Perform tests to determine the underlying cause of your gynecomastia
  • Examine your breasts 
  • Take images of the breasts for your medical records
  • Discuss your goals and expectations 
  • Discuss the possible outcomes, together with the benefits and potential risks
  • Discuss the available options of anesthesia

During surgery

Gynecomastia surgery in Dubai is considered an outpatient procedure, and the patient usually heads back home after the surgery on the same day. Your surgeon will administer local anesthesia, while intravenous sedation and general anesthesia are other options on the table.

In most cases, there are two most common methods of conducting gynecomastia surgery: through the liposuction technique and the excision technique. Your surgeon will advise on the best method to assist you to achieve your results.

After surgery

Your surgeon will use drains to collect excess blood or fluid, which should be used for about a week or so. You may experience mild to moderate pain for the first couple of days, which can be controlled through the prescription pain killers that you’ll get from your doctor. 

You may return to work after about a week of rest. However, you will still be banned from any strenuous physical activities that may cause tension or friction on your healing incisions, at least for the next two weeks. 

Gynecomastia is a condition that almost every mad dreads. Fortunately, you can get your self-esteem and confidence back by getting the best gynecomastia surgery in Dubai.

Gynecomastia surgery in Dubai: FAQs

Gynecomastia is a condition characterized by overly big male breasts. Men or boys tend to have ‘man-chests’ which may not sit well with their self-confidence. While you can easily look for treatment from your local doctor or endocrinologist, you’ll most likely get referred to a plastic surgeon for immediate and long-lasting results. 

Through gynecomastia surgery, you can get rid of the ‘man chest’ and get back to your life a more confident, aesthetically pleasing man.

The best (and most recommended) way to treat gynecomastia is through surgery. Male breast reduction surgery or gynecomastia surgery uses a combination of liposuction and excision techniques to remove fat and glandular tissue. 

As the excess fat is removed, the remaining skin is tightened over the chest. The gynecomastia surgeon in Dubai can also reduce or relocate the nipple-areolar complex if needed.

A gynecomastia surgery candidate is basically a male adult that is physically healthy and cleared to undergo any invasive surgery. Moreover, the ideal candidate should also have realistic goals and have a clear driving factor on why they seek the surgery. 

Consequently, male breast reduction surgeons in Dubai may not clear you for a procedure if you want to use the surgery as a weight-loss technique — as it isn’t. Moreover, your gynecomastia should not be related to a hormonal issue as the surgery doesn’t fix hormonal issues that result in excessive male breast tissues.

Male breast reduction surgery in Dubai takes about one and a half to two hours. You will need to plan for at least 4 hours of your day when coming for a gynecomastia surgery at Dr. Tarek Aesthetics. This is because besides the time it takes for the surgery, you also have to factor in the period taken to prepare you and also for the administration of the anesthesia. 

You should also plan for someone to take you back home as your body may still be under the influence of anesthesia long after the surgery, making it difficult to drive yourself back home. Only a few cases may require in-patient services (a patient to spend at least a night at the clinic) as most gynecomastia surgical cases are treated as outpatient.

There will be scarring after a male breast reduction surgery, but when done by more experienced surgeons like Dr. Tarek, gynecomastia results in minimal scarring. Most scars from the procedure are usually hidden under the armpit. Should you combine the surgery with a lift, the scars may appear around the areola, hidden in the pigment changes of your skin.

The results of a male breast reduction surgery are usually long-lasting. However, factors like significant weight gain, steroids, and drug usage may lead to the recurrence of gynecomastia. Dr. Tarek will take you through some of the things that you can do, including lifestyle changes, to help you maintain the results from your gynecomastia surgery.

Most patients are able to go back to their work within a week following a gynecomastia procedure. Light exercising can be resumed within two weeks and more strenuous physical activities can be done after at least four weeks. Nevertheless, the recovery process is different for everyone and yours might be faster or slower than the indicated timeframe.
