Techniques of Gynaecomastia in Dubai
- Liposuction – Any of the latest Liposuction technologies like Power Assisted or Ultrasonic Liposuction is utilised by Dr Suhas for removal of excessive fat from the chest.
- Gland Removal – Most people with Gynaecomastia also have enlarged gland which usually cannot be removed by only liposuction. A small cut is made in the nipple, and the gland is removed from there. Since this opening is made in the nipple area, it is hardly visible after it heals.
Recovery

You will also be prescribed some antibiotics to prevent infection.4. Most patients can resume desk work after 3-4 days with minimum discomfort5. You will need to visit Dr Suhas a couple of times to ensure your recovery is on the right path.6. You will be provided pressure garment which you will need to wear underneath your clothes, which helps reduce swelling and improve skin contraction and the subsequent final result.

Cost of Gynaecomastia in Dubai
For an accurate cost assessment, you will need a consultation with our surgeon. The costs usually depends on the following factors:
Number of Areas – The size and number of areas to be treated and the amount of fat that needs to be removed. For example, a simple procedure to remove a small amount of fat from arm will cost less than a significant fat reduction from the tummy.
Complexity and Expertise – The surgeon’s fee is based on their experience and expertise. Hence, a plastic surgery which requires more finesse and precision will cost higher than a routine surgery.
Hospital – Fees also depend upon the facility chosen and the expertise of other medical personnel involved in the operation.
You should bear in mind that the expertise of your consultant and your comfort with him or her should be one the more important factors, rather than the cost of the procedure.
Chasing the cheapest procedure available could turn out to be an costly mistake in the long run.
