As a man, enlarged breast tissue can negatively affect both your physical and mental health, causing pain, embarrassment, social discomfort, and more. That’s no way to live.
At the Cosmetic Plastic Surgery and Wellness Club of Maryland, Dr. Ashruf performs gynecomastia surgery in Baltimore to remove unwanted fat and breast tissue from the chest and create a more masculine appearance.
You first meet directly with Dr. Ashruf for a one-on-one consultation. During this appointment, you can discuss what you would like to change about your appearance and work together to create a custom surgical plan.
Gynecomastia surgery usually involves a combination of liposuction and excision of unwanted skin and tissue. When performing liposuction, Dr. Ashruf uses a cannula and a suction device to dislodge and remove fat cells.
After your gynecomastia surgery in Baltimore, Dr. Ashruf will have you use a compression bandage to reduce swelling and bruising. Once you’re cleared from observation, we will schedule a follow-up appointment.

I'm a mommy of 3 and have since struggled with having deflated breast. I originally came in for a breast augmentation consultation. Dr. Ashruf really took the time to explain step by step how the procedure was going to be. He listened to every concern I had and made me feel reassured about my decision. I decided to treat myself for my 32nd birth day back in April and went ahead with getting breast augmentation. Dr. Ashruf and his team are simply amazing!!!! There's no words to describe how happy and confident I am now. The healing process was amazing!!! I was able to bounce back to my regular self after just a week.

View TreatmentThere are many factors that can cause gynecomastia in both men and boys. Some common causes are:
Gynecomastia surgery in Baltimore is not the initial solution for patients to try. Your primary care provider can prescribe certain medications to reduce the growth of breast tissue. You may also try hormone replacement therapy to restore balance to your body and gradually decrease the amount of breast tissue. Most of our patients decide to undergo surgery after trying one or many other methods to reduce the amount of breast tissue they have.
You may be a candidate for gynecomastia surgery in Baltimore if you have excessive breast tissue in one or both breasts that you have tried removing with other methods of treatment, tenderness in the breasts, breast pain, and nipple discharge. If you think you are a candidate, we encourage you to schedule a consultation.
If your work does not require significant physical labor, you will be able to return within 3 days. However, if your work requires physical labor, you can plan to take off 1 to 2 weeks. Allowing your body to rest is important for healing, and strenuous activity could cause your incisions to re-open, risking infection and major scarring.
Every surgical procedure will create some scarring, but Dr. Ashruf has the capability to deliver the best results with minimal scarring. We also provide detailed aftercare instructions to streamline your recovery and maximize your results.

From the moment I walked into their office, I felt welcomed and comfortable. Everyone—from the young woman at the front desk to the woman who helped me with financing, the doctor, anesthesiologist, and nurses—was incredibly kind, friendly, and professional. They truly know how to put you at ease and make you feel comfortable about your upcoming surgery. When it was time for my procedure, the anesthesiologist, nurse, and doctor all took their time getting to know me, answering my questions, and making sure I understood exactly what was going to happen from beginning to end. I never felt rushed or like I was just another patient. After surgery, my recovery went fairly quickly, and I was extremely pleased with how everything turned out. My results looked amazing, and I couldn't be happier with my surgery! I am so grateful to the entire team for making what could have been a stressful experience feel so comfortable and positive. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone considering surgery. ❤️
