If you are a healthy male who has experienced persistent breast enlargement despite lifestyle changes, gynecomastia surgery may be an effective solution. Ideal candidates are generally:

• In good physical health
• At a stable weight
• Realistic about the outcomes of surgery

During your consultation, Dr. Lari will assess your individual needs and recommend the best treatment approach for you.

Gynecomastia surgery usually involves one or more of the following techniques:

• Excision: Ideal for removing glandular breast tissue or skin when necessary.
• Liposuction: Used to remove excess fat when gynecomastia is caused primarily by fatty deposits.
• Combination Approach: Both liposuction and excision may be used to achieve the best results, especially for more advanced cases.

Dr. Lari uses minimally invasive techniques designed to reduce recovery time, scarring, and discomfort, ensuring you achieve natural-looking results.

Most gynecomastia surgeries take less than one hour, depending on the complexity and techniques required. Dr. Lari will discuss your specific case, including the expected duration, during your consultation.

Recovery typically involves a few days of rest followed by a gradual return to normal activities. Here’s a general timeline:

• First 1-2 Days: Rest and limit upper body movement; mild swelling, bruising, and soreness are normal.
• First Week: Many patients can return to light activities, including work.
• 2-4 Weeks: Most patients resume exercise, avoiding heavy lifting until Dr. Lari gives clearance.
• Full Recovery: Typically takes about 6 weeks, with results continuing to improve as swelling subsides.

Dr. Lari provides each patient with customized recovery guidelines to support healing and maximize results

Dr. Lari prioritizes minimally invasive methods to minimize scarring. Incisions are strategically placed in less visible areas, often around the edge of the areola or along natural skin folds, to make scars as discreet as possible. With proper post-surgical care, scars generally fade significantly over time.

Yes, gynecomastia surgery provides long-lasting results. However, significant weight gain or hormonal changes can potentially affect the appearance of the chest in the future. Maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle can help sustain your results.

The cost of gynecomastia surgery varies based on the complexity of the case and the specific techniques required. During your consultation, we will provide a detailed cost estimate tailored to your individual treatment plan.

Like all surgeries, gynecomastia surgery carries some risks, including wound infection, scarring, seroma, heamatoma or asymmetry. Dr. Lari’s expertise and careful technique minimize these risks, and he will discuss potential complications and how to avoid them.

To ensure the best results, you may need to:

• Stop/decrease smoking
• Maintain a stable weight
• Arrange for someone to drive you home post-surgery

Dr. Lari will provide specific pre-operative instructions to help you prepare effectively.

Initial results are visible as soon as post-surgery swelling decreases, which usually happens within the first two weeks. Final results are typically evident within 3-6 months as your body heals completely and the chest contour settles.

While gynecomastia surgery offers lasting results, certain factors like significant hormonal changes, weight gain, or the use of specific medications may cause breast tissue to enlarge again. Dr. Lari can provide guidance on maintaining a stable chest contour.
