Gynecomastia Surgery
Permanent treatment for enlarged male breasts, restoring a masculine chest contour.
Gynecomastia surgery removes excess glandular tissue and, where needed, fat from the male chest to create a flatter, more masculine contour. It is one of the most requested procedures for men who feel self-conscious about their chest.
Candidacy & Benefits
You may be a good candidate if:
- You have persistent breast enlargement not resolved through diet or exercise
- Your chest size affects your confidence or choice of clothing
- You are in good general health and have realistic expectations
Key benefits
- A flatter, firmer, more masculine chest contour
- Results are typically permanent once achieved
- Improved comfort in fitted clothing and physical activity
How Gynecomastia Surgery is performed
Evaluation of whether the enlargement is glandular tissue, fat, or a combination — this determines the technique used
Liposuction alone may be used for fat-predominant cases, through small, hidden incisions
For glandular tissue, a small incision at the edge of the areola allows direct excision of the firmer tissue
The chest is checked for symmetry from multiple angles before closing
A compression vest is fitted immediately after surgery to support the new contour
Preparation & things to know
How to prepare
- Discuss any underlying hormonal causes or medications that may contribute to gynecomastia
- Avoid recreational drugs, steroids, and certain supplements linked to breast tissue growth beforehand
- Stop smoking and blood-thinning medication as advised
- Plan to wear a compression vest continuously for the first few weeks after surgery
Possible side effects & risks
- Swelling and bruising across the chest for one to two weeks
- Temporary numbness or tenderness around the nipple area
- Small, well-hidden scars at the areola edge or liposuction entry points
- A small chance of asymmetry or the need for a minor touch-up
Every surgery carries some risk. Your consultation with Dr. Muhammad Ali will cover how these apply specifically to you.
