Gynecomastia surgery, also called male breast reduction, removes enlarged breast tissue and excess fat from the male chest, aiming for a flatter, firmer chest shape. It suits men whose chest has not responded to diet and exercise, or who have firm tissue behind the nipple. At 7 Dimensions Medical Center (7DMC), gynecomastia surgery is planned and performed by our plastic surgeon, using liposuction, gland removal or both, with consultations at our Jumeirah (Umm Suqeim 3) and Al Barsha (Arjan) branches. It starts with a free, private consultation and a written plan and price.
Gynecomastia is enlargement of the breast tissue in men. It is common, and it can affect one or both sides. It is different from chest fat alone (sometimes called pseudogynecomastia), although many men have a mix of both.
Common causes include:
Because a medical cause sometimes needs treating first, your consultation includes questions about your health, medicines and supplements, and tests are arranged when needed.
| Technique | What it involves | Often chosen for |
|---|---|---|
| Liposuction | Fat removed through small incisions | A chest that is mostly fat |
| Gland excision | Firm tissue cut out through a small incision at the edge of the areola | A firm lump behind the nipple |
| Liposuction with gland excision | Both, for a smooth, even contour | Most men with gynecomastia |
| Skin removal | Loose skin removed, with a longer scar | Large chests or after major weight loss |

The chest often looks flatter soon after surgery, but swelling hides part of the result at first. Most swelling settles over 6 to 8 weeks, and the final contour usually shows at 3 to 6 months. Gland tissue that is removed does not usually grow back, but gynecomastia can return with weight gain, steroid use or certain medicines. Results vary from person to person.
Gynecomastia surgery is surgery, and it carries risks. Your surgeon explains them in full at your consultation. They include:
The cost of gynecomastia surgery in Dubai usually ranges from AED 12,000 to AED 35,000, depending on the technique (liposuction, gland removal or skin removal), the anaesthesia and facility and the clinic. Typical ranges: Liposuction only, AED 12,000 to AED 20,000; Liposuction with gland removal, AED 18,000 to AED 30,000; With skin removal, AED 25,000 to AED 35,000. These are typical market prices across Dubai clinics, not a 7DMC price list. At 7DMC, your surgeon confirms your exact price in writing at your consultation, before any treatment.
It is often called male breast reduction. When gland tissue is removed, the medical term is subcutaneous mastectomy.
It is usually treated as cosmetic and not covered. Some insurers consider cover when there is a medical reason, so check your own policy.
It is a well-established operation, but all surgery carries risks, such as bleeding, fluid collection and contour problems. Your surgeon explains them in full at your consultation.
Gynecomastia in puberty often settles within a few years, and stopping a medicine or steroid that causes it can help. Firm gland tissue that has been present for a long time usually does not go away with diet or exercise.
Most men return to desk work within about a week, wear a compression vest for 4 to 6 weeks and return to chest workouts after that, if their surgeon agrees.
Removed gland tissue does not usually grow back, but gynecomastia can return with weight gain, steroid use or certain medicines.
Consultations are available at 7DMC Jumeirah in Umm Suqeim 3 and 7DMC Al Barsha in Arjan, Al Barsha South.
