August 7, 2026 One of the biggest myths surrounding gynecomastia is that it only affects overweight men.
In reality, some of the most severe and frustrating cases occur in highly athletic individuals.
At HIM Plastic Surgery in Dallas, Dr. Vitali Azouz regularly treats athletes, bodybuilders, and fitness enthusiasts who are unhappy with the appearance of their chest despite exceptional physical conditioning.
These patients often have:

August 4, 2026 Most men expect gynecomastia surgery to permanently address their chest concerns. However, in some situations, patients may experience persistent or recurrent fullness after a previous procedure.
At HIM Plastic Surgery in Dallas, Dr. Vitali Azouz frequently evaluates men seeking revision surgery after unsatisfactory outcomes elsewhere.

Common concerns include:
Persistent nipple prominence
Residual breast tissue
Incomplete chest flattening
Contour irregularities
Ongoing dissatisfaction
Revision cases can be more complex because scar tissue and altered anatomy […]

Persistent chest fullness
Firm tissue beneath the nipple
Chest asymmetry
Enlarged male breasts despite low body fat
If more than one of these sounds familiar, the
gynecomastia pinch test is the […]

Published on Sept 2025Scars are a natural part of the body’s healing process. While modern plastic surgery techniques are designed to limit visible scarring, some degree of scarring is inevitable. The good news is that there are many effective ways to minimize the appearance of scars and support optimal healing.
Here’s what patients should know about scar prevention and management:
Why Scars Form After Surgery
Scars develop as your body repairs incisions made during surgery. The healing process involves the production of collagen, a protein that strengthens and supports skin. In some cases, collagen is produced in excess, leading to raised or […]
Published on July 2025Weight loss medications such as Ozempic (semaglutide), Wegovy (semaglutide), Mounjaro (Tirzepatide), and Retatrutide have led to significant body changes for many patients. While these medications have proven effective in reducing body fat, rapid or substantial weight loss can result in excess sagging skin. This is a common and expected outcome, especially in those patients who have lost a large percentage of body mass or who have experienced weight fluctuations over time.
Understanding what causes skin laxity after weight loss and the available options to address it can help patients make informed decisions about the next steps in their […]
