Before and after: Gynecomastia Surgery
What is the result of gynecomastia surgery before and after?
A flatter chest and a balanced masculine shape, comfort in fitted clothes and during exercise, and a big boost in self-confidence. The final result becomes clear once the swelling settles within about the first month. The surgery is performed by Dr. Mohammad Al-Zaitawi in Jordan, and results vary depending on the degree of sagging and skin quality.
Who is gynecomastia surgery for?
Gynecomastia surgery suits men with enlarged breasts caused by glandular tissue, excess fat or loose skin after weight loss that causes embarrassment in clothing or during sport, once treatable hormonal or medication-related causes have been ruled out.
How is gynecomastia surgery performed?
The surgery is performed under general or spinal anesthesia. Liposuction removes excess fat, and the glandular tissue is removed through a small incision around the nipple. In cases of severe sagging after weight loss, excess skin is also removed to reshape a flat, masculine chest.
Recovery after surgery
Patients usually leave hospital after one night and wear a compression vest for several weeks. Most return to work within about a week, and gradually return to sport after 4 to 6 weeks.
The expected result
A flatter chest and a balanced masculine shape, comfort in fitted clothes and during exercise, and a big boost in self-confidence. The final result becomes clear once the swelling settles within about the first month.

Gynecomastia surgery completes the weight-loss journey and restores the body’s proportions, but its success depends on choosing the right time after the weight is stable, a careful assessment before surgery, and following the compression and aftercare instructions. Results vary from person to person.
This story reflects one patient's experience. Your result depends on your starting weight, health, the chosen procedure and your commitment after surgery. Only a personal medical evaluation can tell you what to expect.
Gynecomastia surgery with Dr. Mohammad Al-Zaitawi at his bariatric and laparoscopic surgery center removes excess skin and fat from the chest after weight loss. Surgery time: 1–3 hours; anesthesia: general or spinal; hospital stay: one night; back to work: 5–7 days. The final result becomes clear within about the first month and varies between patients.
Frequently asked questions
Can gynecomastia come back after surgery?
When the glandular tissue is removed properly the result is usually permanent, but significant weight gain or certain medications and hormones can lead to new fat collecting in the chest.
Does gynecomastia surgery leave visible scars?
In most cases the incisions are small, around the nipple or in skin folds, and fade over time. Severe sagging after major weight loss may need longer incisions to remove the excess skin.
Can exercise alone treat gynecomastia?
Exercise and weight loss reduce fat, but they do not remove glandular tissue or loose skin, so surgery is the definitive solution in these cases.
