Frequently Asked Questions
What is gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia is the development of excess glandular tissue or fat in the male chest, resulting in a fuller or rounder appearance. It can affect one or both sides and is caused by hormonal changes, genetics, certain medications, or weight fluctuations. Gynecomastia surgery removes the excess tissue for lasting, meaningful results.
What are the symptoms of gynecomastia?
Common gynecomastia symptoms include enlarged breast tissue, tenderness or sensitivity in the chest, and a soft or rubbery lump beneath the nipple. Some patients also feel self-conscious wearing fitted clothing or going shirtless. If you've noticed these symptoms and diet and exercise haven't helped, surgery may be worth exploring.
How does gynecomastia surgery work?
Dr. Salloum removes excess glandular tissue through a small incision typically placed along the lower edge of the areola, where it blends naturally with the surrounding skin. Liposuction is often performed at the same time to remove any associated fat and refine the chest contour. The result is a flatter, firmer, more masculine chest appearance.
How long does gynecomastia surgery take?
Gynecomastia surgery typically takes one to two hours and is performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. Most patients go home the same day. Dr. Salloum will provide detailed recovery instructions and schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your results.
Is gynecomastia surgery permanent?
Yes. The removed glandular tissue cannot grow back. However, significant weight gain, hormonal changes, or certain medications can cause new fatty tissue to develop in the chest over time. Maintaining a stable weight and addressing any underlying hormonal issues helps protect your long-term results.
What is the difference between gynecomastia and pseudogynecomastia?
True gynecomastia involves excess glandular breast tissue and requires surgical excision. Pseudogynecomastia involves excess fat rather than glandular tissue and may respond to liposuction alone. Many patients have a combination of both, which Dr. Salloum addresses through a combined approach for optimal contouring.
How much does gynecomastia surgery cost in Miami?
The cost of gynecomastia surgery in Miami varies based on the extent of the procedure and whether liposuction is included. The Miami Center for Plastic Surgery offers financing through Cherry, with flexible payment plans available. A personalized quote will be provided during your consultation with Dr. Salloum.
