Address enlarged male breast tissue with gynecomastia surgery in Lahore — performed by Dr. Farhan Gohar, a Consultant Plastic, Reconstructive, and Cleft Surgeon with 15+ years of experience in safe, natural-looking body contouring.
Gynecomastia surgery is a surgical procedure that reduces enlarged male breast tissue, caused by excess glandular tissue, excess fat, or a combination of both, to restore a flatter, more contoured, and more masculine-looking chest. Depending on the cause, this can involve liposuction alone, surgical excision of glandular tissue, or a combination of both.
It’s important to understand what gynecomastia surgery is not: it is not simply “chest liposuction” for every patient, since true glandular gynecomastia does not respond to liposuction alone and needs surgical excision. It also isn’t the right first step for every patient — some cases of gynecomastia are linked to an underlying hormonal cause, medication, or other medical condition that should be ruled out first.
At Azar Plast, gynecomastia surgery in Lahore is performed by Dr. Farhan Gohar, a Consultant Plastic, Reconstructive, and Cleft Surgeon with over 15 years of surgical experience. Every treatment plan starts with an in-person consultation and assessment of your chest tissue composition (glandular vs. fatty), skin quality, and goals, because the right technique differs from patient to patient. The focus throughout is on surgical safety, precision, and a chest contour that looks like a natural, athletic version of you rather than an obviously “operated on” look.
Depending on the tissue composition, skin quality, and consultation findings, gynecomastia surgery can be performed using different approaches:
The ear cartilage is reshaped and held in its new position using internal sutures, without removing cartilage. Often preferred for its more conservative approach.
Used when dense glandular tissue is present, which does not respond to liposuction alone; the glandular tissue is directly removed through a small, well-placed incision, often around the areola edge.
Many patients have a mix of fat and glandular tissue, and benefit from a combined approach that contours the fat and removes the glandular component in the same session.
Your surgeon will recommend the right technique for your case at your consultation — not every technique suits every chest.
Your surgeon evaluates your chest tissue composition and skin quality, discusses your goals, reviews your medical history, and plans the most suitable technique.
General anesthesia or sedation is administered, depending on the extent of surgery, to keep you comfortable throughout.
Where fatty tissue is present, a thin cannula is used through small incisions to remove excess fat and refine the chest contour.
Where dense glandular tissue is present, it is directly excised through a small, carefully placed incision, often at the edge of the areola to help conceal the scar.
Incisions are closed and a compression garment is fitted to support healing, reduce swelling, and help the skin redrape smoothly over the new chest contour.
When performed by a qualified, experienced surgeon in an appropriate surgical facility, gynecomastia surgery is a well-established and generally safe procedure. Like any surgery, it carries risks — swelling, bruising, contour irregularity, changes in nipple sensation, or asymmetry — which is why proper patient selection and surgical planning matter more than the marketing claims of any single technique.
A safety principle worth knowing as you research: before planning surgery, it’s worth ruling out an underlying hormonal, medication-related, or other medical cause of gynecomastia, since treating the underlying cause sometimes changes the surgical plan, or in rare cases resolves the issue without surgery. This is something Dr. Farhan Gohar will assess and explain clearly for your specific case.
Most patients experience mild to moderate discomfort, particularly where glandular tissue has been excised, managed with prescribed medication in the first several days. Swelling, tightness, and bruising in the chest are normal and typically ease over two to three weeks. Anesthesia keeps you comfortable during the procedure itself — discomfort is mainly a recovery-phase experience.
Good candidates typically:
The only reliable way to confirm candidacy is an in-person consultation.
Recovery after gynecomastia surgery varies from person to person. Here's a general guide to what you may expect during the healing process.
Rest, wear the compression garment as instructed; swelling and bruising in the chest are normal.
Most patients return to light daily activities and desk work, with visible bruising fading.
Visible swelling largely subsides; the flatter chest contour becomes clearer, and most patients can resume upper-body exercise as guided by their surgeon.
Final results settle in fully as residual swelling resolves and the skin fully redrapes.
Recovery time varies by patient and by whether liposuction, excision, or both were performed.
Results vary based on your starting tissue composition, skin elasticity, and how closely post-op instructions are followed.
Gynecomastia surgery cost in Pakistan is not a single fixed number — it depends on:
liposuction-only cases generally cost less than cases requiring glandular excision
needed on one or both sides
local/sedation is generally less costly than general anesthesia
since significant skin excess may call for additional skin-tightening steps
As a general market reference, gynecomastia surgery cost in Pakistan commonly falls in a broad range depending on whether liposuction, excision, or a combined approach is needed, with liposuction-only cases typically at the lower end and combined excision cases running higher. These figures are general market context, not a quote — your actual gynecomastia surgery cost in Lahore can only be confirmed after Dr. Farhan Gohar assesses your chest in person.
