What Is Gynecomastia Surgery in Tempe, AZ

Gynecomastia is enlarged breast tissue in men. Surgery takes out the extra fat and gland so the chest sits flatter and firmer under a T-shirt or at the pool.

Tempe patients see one physician at every visit. It is one of our awake surgeries, and our gynecomastia page goes deeper.

Signs Surgery May Be Right for You

Many of the men we see train hard and eat well. The fullness stays anyway.

  • Puffy nipples that show through fitted shirts or gym tops
  • A firm, tender or rubbery lump behind one or both nipples
  • Chest shape that bench press and weight loss have not changed
  • Fullness that never settled after your teens
  • Good general health, a steady weight and no smoking

Why the Chest Grows and Why It Matters

Dr. Fayad is board certified in internal medicine, so he looks for the cause before he plans surgery. Some causes are worth fixing first.

Hormone Shifts

Gynecomastia starts when estrogen gains ground on testosterone. It happens in puberty, middle age and sometimes on unbalanced testosterone therapy.

Medications and Supplements

Finasteride, anabolic steroids and some prescriptions can trigger growth. We review everything you take before planning surgery.

Weight Changes

Fat alone, called pseudogynecomastia, may respond to chest liposuction without any gland removal.

How the Procedure Shapes the Chest

Every plan starts with what your chest is made of. Dr. Fayad combines these steps to fit it.

  • LiposuctionA thin cannula removes soft fat through tiny openings
  • Gland RemovalFirm tissue comes out through a small cut at the areola edge
  • Skin TighteningRenuvion or Quantum Ignite RF when skin is loose
  • ClosureDissolvable stitches and a compression vest to finish

From First Visit to Final Shape

Recovery is gradual. This is how the weeks usually go.

Cost of Gynecomastia Surgery in Tempe, AZ

Price follows the work your chest needs. Liposuction alone costs less than a plan that also removes gland.

Dr. Fayad gives you a written quote at your one-on-one consultation. Monthly payment options are explained on our financing page.

What Changes the Quote

  • How much fat and gland is removed
  • One side or both sides
  • Whether loose skin needs tightening
  • The type of anesthesia

FAQ About Gynecomastia Surgery in Tempe, AZ

How Much Is Gynecomastia Surgery in Tempe, AZ?

It depends on what your chest needs. Dr. Fayad sets your final price after examining you, and our financing page lists payment options.

What Is Stage 4 Gynecomastia?

Grade 4 is the most advanced stage: a large chest with loose, sagging skin. It usually needs skin tightening or removal on top of fat and gland removal.

Will I Be Awake During Surgery?

Most men are. The chest is numbed with local anesthesia and you go home the same day. Sedation or general anesthesia is an option for larger procedures.

When Can I Go Back to the Gym?

Walking starts right away. Lifting and chest training come back over several weeks, cleared at your follow-ups.

Can Gynecomastia Come Back?

Removed gland does not grow back. Weight gain, steroids or a hormone change can still enlarge what remains.

Can Gynecomastia Go Away Without Surgery?

In teens it often settles on its own. Firm tissue that has stayed for years usually remains, since diet and exercise shrink fat, not gland.
