A Flatter Chest Without General Anesthesia

Gynecomastia is enlarged breast tissue in men, usually a mix of extra fat and firm gland tissue behind the nipple. Surgery removes that tissue so the chest sits flatter under a fitted shirt.

At VIA Health & Medspa it is part of our awake surgery program,, and Dr. Fayad plans each procedure around the man in front of him.

How Awake Gynecomastia Surgery Works

Dr. Fayad numbs the chest with local anesthetic, then removes fat through a few small openings with liposuction. When firm gland tissue sits behind the areola, it is taken out through a short incision, usually along the areola's lower edge, so both sides match.

  • No general anesthesia and no breathing tube
  • Small access points rather than long incisions
  • You can talk with our team throughout
  • Home the same day in a compression vest

When the fullness is mostly fat, the plan may be closer to chest liposuction. See our gynecomastia page for more.

Signs You May Be a Good Candidate

Good candidates are adult men in fair health whose chest stays full despite a steady weight.

  • Puffy or pointed nipples that show through shirts
  • A firm, rubbery disc under one or both nipples
  • Skipping the pool, the beach or fitted shirts
  • Fullness left behind after losing weight

If extra weight makes up most of the fullness, our medical weight loss program can be the first step.

When to See a Doctor First

A hard lump on one side, nipple discharge or new painful swelling should be checked first. Dr. Fayad is board certified in internal medicine and reviews your medications and hormone history at the consultation.

What to Expect From Consult to Recovery

Timing varies from man to man.

  1. Consultation With Dr. Fayad

    He checks how much is fat and how much is gland, then gives you a final quote.

  2. Procedure Day

    You stay awake under local anesthetic and go home the same day wearing a compression vest.

  3. The First Week

    Swelling and bruising are normal, and many men are back at a desk within several days.

  4. The Weeks That Follow

    Workouts resume once Dr. Fayad clears you. The final shape shows over a few months.

FAQ About Gynecomastia Surgery in Gilbert, AZ

Is gynecomastia surgery at VIA done under general anesthesia?

No. The chest is numbed with local anesthetic and you stay awake, with no breathing tube, and go home the same day.

Can diet and exercise get rid of gynecomastia?

Losing weight can shrink the fatty part of a full chest, but the firm gland tissue behind the nipple does not respond to diet or workouts. Surgery removes both.

What is a good age for gynecomastia surgery?

Chest swelling during puberty often settles on its own, so surgery is usually considered once the chest has stopped changing.

What causes gynecomastia?

Hormone shifts, some prescription medications, weight changes and family history can all play a part, and often there is no single cause. Dr. Fayad reviews your health history at the consultation.
