Understanding Gynecomastia

Gynecomastia is characterized by excess glandular tissue, excess fatty tissue, or a combination of both in the male chest. It can affect one or both breasts and may be caused by hormonal imbalances, certain medications, obesity, genetics, or underlying medical conditions. True gynecomastia involves glandular tissue and cannot be resolved through exercise alone.

Surgical Treatment Options

liposuction in Dubai (For Fatty Tissue)

When gynecomastia is primarily fatty tissue with good skin elasticity, VASER liposuction can effectively remove the excess fat through tiny incisions. Dr. Parashar’s expertise in VASER technology ensures precise contouring with minimal scarring.

Excision (For Glandular Tissue)

When firm glandular tissue is present, surgical excision through a small incision around the areola is necessary. This approach removes the tissue that liposuction cannot address.

Combined Approach

Most patients benefit from a combination of liposuction and excision for comprehensive treatment of both fatty and glandular components.

Cost of Gynecomastia Surgery in Dubai

Recovery and Results

Most patients return to work within 5-7 days. A compression garment must be worn for 4-6 weeks to optimize healing and results. Exercise can resume at 3-4 weeks with full activities at 6-8 weeks. Swelling gradually resolves over 2-3 months, revealing the final chest contour. Results are permanent as long as you maintain a stable weight and avoid medications that can cause gynecomastia.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is gynecomastia surgery permanent?

Yes, the results are permanent. The removed glandular tissue does not grow back. Maintaining a stable weight and avoiding certain medications ensures your results last a lifetime.

Will insurance cover gynecomastia surgery?

Most insurance plans classify gynecomastia surgery as cosmetic and do not provide coverage. However, if the condition causes documented physical pain or is related to a medical condition, partial coverage may be possible.

Can exercise cure gynecomastia?

Exercise can reduce chest fat but cannot eliminate glandular tissue. True gynecomastia involves glandular tissue that requires surgical removal. A consultation can determine whether your condition is fatty tissue (pseudogynecomastia) or true gynecomastia.

How long is gynecomastia surgery recovery?

Initial recovery takes 5-7 days. Full activities resume at 6-8 weeks. Final results are visible at 2-3 months as all swelling resolves.
