More than half of all men suffer from gynecomastia. Men with excess breast tissue often feel self-conscious and are uncomfortable going shirtless. At DC Cosmetics, we see hundreds of men each year for this condition and perform a custom surgery to create a sculpted, masculine chest structure.
When the nation’s top reporters researched gynecomastia for the Washington Post, their research naturally led them to Dr. Khalifeh, one of the nation’s leading experts on the matter. We invited them into our suite to first hand report on a live surgery. Read here the article about Gynecomastia and Dr. Khalifeh.

He then completed his training in Plastic Surgery at the prestigious Johns Hopkins Hospital.

In his personal life, Dr. Khalifeh enjoys being a dad to his young daughters and outdoor activities including hiking and skiing.
For moderate to severe cases of gynecomastia, Dr. Khalifeh favors a combination of liposuction combined with direct excision of the glandular tissue via a crescent-shaped incision for direct access to raise the skin uniformly, separating it from the glandular tissue to visualize the pectoralis muscle, and remove the glandular tissue.
We offer both procedures under anesthesia and performed while you are awake under local anesthesia (numbing medication). Dr. Khalifeh does the majority of the cases under local anesthesia with mild oral sedation. The procedure takes typically around three to four hours to perform.
Dr. Khalifeh is one of the leading national providers of body contouring with Smartlipo, or laser-assisted liposuction. For men with an excess of fat, Smartlipo may be performed to produce a structured, masculine look to the upper chest. Other men may require both Smartlipo along with surgical excision of glandular tissue.
For the majority of cases, the pricing will range between $6200-$8200 when done under local anesthesia in the office.
