Gynecomastia & Male Breast Surgery in Lebanon
Gynecomastia is the enlargement of male breast tissue and can result from glandular breast tissue, excess fat, excess skin or a combination of these factors. Dr. Salim AYOUB performs male breast surgery in Lebanon using an individualized approach based on the underlying cause and degree of enlargement.
For some patients, excess fat is the predominant concern and liposuction may be appropriate. When enlarged glandular tissue is present, surgical removal may be necessary. Patients with significant skin excess may require additional skin correction.
The objective is to create a flatter, more masculine chest while maintaining natural proportions and minimizing visible scarring whenever possible.
Because gynecomastia can have different causes, consultation is important before surgery. Dr. AYOUB assesses the chest, discusses the patient’s history and determines the appropriate surgical plan.
Gynecomastia can be associated with hormonal changes, medications, weight changes and other medical factors. The underlying cause should be assessed before surgery.
It depends on what is causing the enlargement. Fat-dominant cases may respond to liposuction, while significant glandular tissue may require surgical excision. Some patients need a combination of techniques.
Some form of incision is usually required when glandular tissue or excess skin must be removed. Incision placement is planned to make scars as discreet as reasonably possible.
The likelihood depends on the underlying cause, weight changes, hormonal factors and the tissues treated. Maintaining a stable weight and addressing underlying causes can help support a lasting result.
Recovery varies according to the amount of tissue removed and the techniques used. Dr. Salim AYOUB provides individualized instructions regarding compression, activity and return to exercise.
