Gynecomastia Surgery/Male Breast Reduction in Boca Raton, FL
Men of all ages seek out Dr. Albert Dabbah for his skill with resolving gynecomastia or enlarged male breasts. Gynecomastia can be a source of acute embarrassment for men of all ages, making it difficult to wear fitted shirts or to take off their shirt in public. Whether in the locker room or at the pool, men with breasts tend to feel self-conscious about their bodies, which can cause them to feel emotionally uncomfortable and lose self-esteem. Many men work hard to look fit and healthy, but gynecomastia often fails to respond to diet and exercise.
Gynecomastia surgery is the most effective treatment for enlarged male breasts. It involves removing fat and excess tissue for an improved upper body contour.

Dr. Dabbah’s Approach to Gynecomastia Surgery
During your consultation, Dr. Dabbah will determine whether your gynecomastia is due to fat, breast tissue, or a combination of each. If fat is contributing to the enlarged breast, Dr. Dabbah removes by liposuction, which may provide sufficient contouring. Liposuction also tightens the chest.
If breast tissue is the cause, Dr. Dabbah surgically removes it through a small incision around the areola. Dr. Dabbah performs gynecomastia surgery in an outpatient surgical center while patients are under local or general anesthesia.
What Causes Gynecomastia?
While many young boys have excess breast tissue, the issue occasionally resolves during puberty. In other situations, puberty can exacerbate the condition due to hormonal changes. Other factors that contribute to gynecomastia include:
- Weight gain or obesity
- Certain medications
- High estrogen levels
- Steroid use
- Genetics
"Dr. Dabbah performed surgery on my son's gynecomastia when he was 18 and that was absolutely transformative for my son in so many ways. He made sure my son felt safe and reassured."
