What Is Gynecomastia Surgery?
Gynecomastia surgery is a male chest reduction procedure that removes excess breast tissue, fat, and sometimes skin. It’s designed for men who have developed enlarged or feminine-looking chests due to hormonal imbalance, genetics, weight changes, or medication use. Dr Parviz Sadigh performs gynecomastia surgery in Dubai using discreet incisions and a tailored surgical plan that restores a natural, contoured chest appearance.
This minor but specialist surgery is often life-changing for men who have struggled with self-image or physical discomfort. Most cases are treated using a combination of gland removal and liposuction under general anaesthetic.
How the Procedure Works
Depending on the cause and severity, the procedure typically combines liposuction with surgical excision. Fat is removed using a cannula through tiny incisions, while glandular tissue is carefully dissected, often via a small incision around the areola.
In more significant cases, skin excision may also be needed to improve contour. The surgery takes around 1 to 2 hours and is performed under general anaesthesia. Most patients go home the same day with a compression garment in place to support the chest and minimise swelling.

Frequently Asked Questions
What causes gynecomastia?
It can be triggered by hormones, medication, steroid use, genetics, or weight fluctuation. A proper consultation is required to identify the likely cause and rule out underlying conditions.
Is it painful?
Some swelling, tightness, and bruising are expected for the first few days. Most patients describe the discomfort as mild and manageable with pain relief.
How long does recovery take?
You can return to light activity within 5–7 days, with most swelling settling by week 3. Full exercise and upper body workouts are usually resumed at 4–6 weeks.
Will the results last?
Yes, provided your weight and hormones remain stable. The removed glandular tissue does not typically return.
Will there be scars?
Scars are kept minimal and placed in natural creases or around the areola. With time and care, they usually fade well.
