What is Gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia, or “manboobs,” is the abnormal growth of breast tissue in men. It may present as localized swelling in the chest area, causing discomfort and low self-esteem in men of all ages. Gynecomastia varies from a slight increase in breast tissue to significant enlargement throughout a large area of the chest. Male gynecomastia can feel like “rocks” in the chest. Gynecomastia is difficult to improve through diet and exercise and usually necessitates surgical excision by a plastic surgeon.
Gynecomastia can affect men of any age, including teens and adults alike. It can occur in one breast or both and may have various causes.
Gynecomastia often arises from hormonal imbalances, specifically increased estrogen compared to testosterone. Obesity and certain medications or substances may also play a role.
For most of his patients, Dr. Azouz finds that gynecomastia during puberty is caused by genetics that doesn’t go away over time. Hormonal medications often fail to improve gynecomastia.
Why Choose Top Gynecomastia Surgeon Dr. Azouz in Dallas
What are the stages of gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia is classified into four stages based on the severity and amount of growth of the breast tissue. These grades help both physicians and patients understand the course of the condition and determine the best treatment method.
What’s the difference between gynecomastia and pseudogynecomastia?
Gynecomastia and pseudogynecomastia are distinct conditions affecting the male chest. Men often experience a combination of gynecomastia and pseudogynecomastia.
Gynecomastia is characterized by a firm, rubbery, or palpable lump of breast tissue in men beneath the nipple-areola complex. This can lead to a chest that appears feminine and often extends past the nipple-areola complex.
Pseudogynecomastia is the accumulation of excess chest fat rather than an increase in breast tissue. It is often linked to obesity, genetics, or a poor diet. This can have a softer, fatter texture.

What causes gyno in men?
Many factors can contribute to manboobs, but the exact cause is unknown. The primary triggers for this condition are puberty and hormonal imbalances. External and medical factors that can cause gynecomastia include:
- Weight gain (can lead to increased estrogen production)
- Medications for an other condition
- Steroid use
- Hormone therapy
Regardless of these factors, the cause of gynecomastia is nearly always hereditary and not the patient’s fault.

Who is candidate for male breast removal surgery?
Abnormal male breast development is usually not linked to serious medical conditions, but it can be a side effect of certain medical issues. It is important to consult a physician to discuss possible causes before seeking gynecomastia treatment. If your gynecomastia, or “gyno,” isn’t due to a medical condition or hormonal imbalance, you might be a suitable candidate for male breast reduction. Additional factors indicating you may be a suitable candidate for the procedure include:
- Your breast tissue is soft and not responding to a healthy lifestyle
- You want to correct breast asymmetry
- Your weight is healthy and stable
- Your breast size is causing physical or social discomfort
- You no longer use steroids
What do Expect during Man Boob Gynecomastia Surgery in Dallas?
The extent and process of the surgery will vary depending on your desired changes and Dr. Azouz’s professional advice on how to achieve your goals. Dr. Azouz reduces breast size by removing excess tissue and skin through precise incisions, flattening, and enhancing the chest contour. The position and size of the areola can be adjusted for a more natural look.
Techniques vary depending on the type of gynecomastia and the patient’s goals. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Azouz typically combines liposuction with excision to remove glandular tissue and excess fat, achieving a more masculine chest. Liposuction involves small incisions near the chest, where excess fat is suctioned out with a custom Azouz cannula. Liposuction shapes the chest and removes stubborn fat deposits. Excision involves making incisions around the areola or in hidden areas to access and remove glandular tissue. Liposuction and excision are effective treatments for many types of gynecomastia. This technique removes excess fat and glandular tissue, contouring the chest into a natural, masculine contour.
Skin tightening methods like excision or lift can address decreased elasticity from large or sagging manboobs. These techniques can help you achieve a toned, masculine chest.
Dallas board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Azouz will assess the grade and characteristics of gynecomastia during the consultation to identify the best treatment approach for optimal results. The technique is customized to each patient’s condition for the best outcomes and satisfaction.

This combination enables faster recovery and reduced post-operative discomfort for patients. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Azouz tailors anesthesia strategies to each patient’s needs, ensuring a comfortable surgical experience.
How long is Recovery after Gyno Surgery?
Recovery time after gyno surgery varies, but most patients go home the same day. Dr. Azouz, a board-certified plastic surgeon, recommends wearing a compression garment for 4 to 6 weeks to reduce swelling and support recovery. Mild bruising and swelling are normal after drainless gynecomastia surgery. At your follow-up appointments, Dr. Azouz will provide recommendations to manage bruising and swelling for optimal natural results.
Patients should avoid heavy activity for a few weeks to promote healing. Dr. Azouz will monitor progress during follow-up appointments to ensure optimal results and a seamless recovery.
Patients can typically resume work and daily activities within a few days, but should avoid excessive exercise and heavy lifting until cleared by Dr. Azouz. The effects of the surgery will become more noticeable as the swelling subsides and the chest contour becomes more pronounced with time.
What are the benefits of gyno surgery?
Gynecomastia surgery can help a lot of people who are unhappy with the way their chest looks in a number of ways. The primary benefit is increased self-esteem and a more masculine chest contour. This can significantly enhance confidence, body image, and quality of life. Gyno surgery removes excess breast tissue and reshapes the chest, helping patients feel more comfortable and expand their clothing choices. Gynecomastia surgery offers long-lasting results, enabling patients to maintain an improved chest contour for years. Benefits extend beyond physical gains, positively impacting psychological well-being and self-image.

Frequently Asked Questions
Gynecomastia
Yes, thyroid issues, particularly hyperthyroidism, can result in gynecomastia. This is caused by hormonal abnormalities, such as high estrogen levels in comparison to testosterone. Treating the underlying thyroid problem is important, and it is recommended to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon to address the gynecomastia.
Weight loss may help reduce chest fat; however, gynecomastia is only treated with surgery. Non-surgical alternatives do not address the glandular breast tissue, and in some cases, the chest fat can be combined with glandular tissue, making it even more difficult to lose.
In general, it is important to take good care of yourself before surgery, such as stopping smoking, hydrating, and avoiding excessive sun exposure within 4 weeks before your procedure. You should also plan for post-operative care, wear recommended compression garments, and adhere to your surgeon's precise instructions. During your appointment, board-certified gynecomastia surgeon Dr. Azouz will give you specific pre- and post-surgery instructions to optimize your results.
No, gynecomastia surgery removes extra glandular tissue and fat, not muscle. Dr. Azouz does not remove the pectoralis muscle with his technique. Some patients have a condition called Poland Syndrome (lack of the pectoralis muscle) which requires placement of an implant (pec implant) to recreate the appearance of a pectoralis muscle.
While the removed glandular tissue will not return, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is crucial to preventing the accumulation of excess fat in the chest area. Follow-up visits with Dr. Azouz can help you track your progress.
Dr. Azouz offers many inexpensive yet effective options for compression garments after gynecomastia surgery. Dr. Azouz recommends garments that are snug but not too tight, as patients will routinely be placed into compression garments at the end of surgery. These aid to reduce swelling, alleviate discomfort, and promote normal recovery.
A gynecomastia procedure is typically performed on an outpatient basis and will most likely require a few days of rest. Depending on the nature of your job, you may need to take more or less time off. For more specific answers to this question, be sure to discuss this at length with Dr. Azouz during your consultation. Strenuous activities should be avoided for 4-6 weeks to allow for adequate recovery.
Luckily, major risks with gynecomastia surgery are quite rare. The procedure is straightforward and only involves the removal of fatty tissue. However, all surgery carries some degree of risk. Some of the more common risks associated with surgery are allergic reactions, hematoma/seroma, or damage to surrounding structures. Choosing an experienced surgeon, like Dr. Azouz, reduces risks and promotes a smooth recovery.
Yes, smoking impairs recovery and raises the risk of problems such as infection, scarring, and decreased blood flow to surgical sites. Quitting smoking at least several weeks before and after surgery enhances the result of recovery.
Yes, breast reduction can result in a more proportionate and streamlined appearance, making the upper body appear thinner. The goal of gynecomastia surgery is to even out and reduce the size of male breasts. The result is a flatter, more masculine look. With less breast tissue, muscle definition will appear more defined and prominent when a patient works out.
Breast reduction usually leads to minimal weight loss due to the removal of glandular tissue and fat. However, its major purpose is improving appearances and alleviating physical discomfort rather than losing weight. A well-balanced diet and regular exercise routine enhance the surgery. A breast reduction can also inspire patients to lose weight with diet and exercise by seeing their desired results.
