A British Mathematician “Alfred North Whitehead” once said: “Art is the imposing of a pattern on experience, and our aesthetic enjoyment is recognition of the pattern”. With this I would like to recognize Dr Kottis’ immense talent driven by his extensive experience and thank him for his courtesy and professionalism. You are a wonderful Plastic Surgeon, but above all else, a terrific human being. Thanks again for the excellent care.

What is
What Is Gynecomastia Surgery?
Gynecomastia surgery, also called male breast reduction, reduces enlarged male chest tissue with liposuction, glandular excision, or both. It is distinct from breast reduction in Dubai for women, which treats macromastia by reducing and reshaping female breast tissue. Each gynecomastia plan is tailored to the amount of fat, firm gland, and loose skin present. Results depend on individual factors and clinical assessment. Results vary per individual. A consultation is required.
Am I a Candidate?
- Persistent male breast fullness after evaluation of medical causes
- Stable weight and realistic scar expectations
- Desire for a flatter chest contour
Surgical Technique
Plans may combine liposuction of fatty tissue with excision of firm glandular tissue through discreet incisions. Extent depends on grade and skin quality.
Recovery Timeline
- Weeks 1–2 — compression and limited strain
- Weeks 3–6 — progressive activity
- Months 3–6 — contour settles

How much does male breast reduction surgery cost in Dubai?
The cost depends on the surgical technique required, the complexity of the individual case, anaesthesia, facility standards, and whether procedures are combined. An accurate assessment requires an individual clinical evaluation.
What is gynecomastia and what causes it?
Gynecomastia is the enlargement of breast tissue in males. It can occur due to hormonal imbalances (particularly during puberty, ageing, or as a result of certain medications), excess body weight (which can increase estrogen levels), or anabolic steroid use. In some cases, no identifiable cause is found. Individual assessment by a Consultant determines the appropriate management.
What is the difference between true gynecomastia and pseudogynecomastia?
True gynecomastia involves enlarged glandular breast tissue and requires surgical excision to treat. Pseudogynecomastia (also called lipomastia) is caused by excess fat deposition in the chest area without glandular enlargement, and can often be addressed with liposuction alone. Many patients have a combination of both. Each case is assessed individually to determine the appropriate surgical technique.
Who is a candidate for gynecomastia surgery in Dubai?
Good candidates for gynecomastia surgery are males who are bothered by enlarged breast tissue that has not resolved with lifestyle changes or medication adjustments. Candidates should be in good general health and have realistic expectations. Individual suitability — including assessment of the degree of tissue enlargement and underlying causes — is evaluated during a clinical consultation.
What techniques does the surgeon use for male breast reduction?
The surgical approach is tailored to each patient's anatomy. For cases involving primarily fatty tissue, liposuction alone may be appropriate. For cases with significant glandular enlargement, surgical excision is performed through small incisions to remove the glandular tissue. Many cases involve a combination of both techniques. The planned approach is discussed fully during the pre-operative consultation.
How long is recovery from gynecomastia surgery?
Most patients return to desk-based work within 5–7 days. A compression vest or garment is worn for 3–4 weeks to minimize swelling and support the chest as it heals. Strenuous upper-body exercise is deferred for 4–6 weeks. The final chest contour becomes visible once swelling fully resolves — typically at 3–4 months. A personalized post-operative protocol is provided during follow-up.
Will gynecomastia come back after surgery?
Surgically removed glandular tissue does not regenerate. However, if the underlying cause of gynecomastia — such as hormonal imbalance, medication use, or weight gain — persists or recurs, new breast tissue development or fat accumulation may occur. The treating surgeon discusses contributing factors and lifestyle recommendations during consultation.
Can gynecomastia be treated without surgery?
In cases where gynecomastia is caused by a treatable underlying factor such as a specific medication or a hormonal condition, addressing the cause may result in improvement without surgery. In most established cases of gynecomastia, non-surgical options provide limited results, and surgical correction is the most effective approach. Suitability for any treatment is assessed individually during consultation.
How much does gynecomastia surgery cost in Dubai?
The cost depends on the surgical technique required, the complexity of the individual case, anaesthesia, facility standards, and whether procedures are combined. An accurate assessment requires an individual clinical evaluation.
