At Pratap Hospital, Vijayawada, Gynecomastia Surgery is performed with advanced cosmetic surgical techniques by Dr. Pratap Duggirala (M.S., M.Ch – Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery) — widely regarded as one of the best gynecomastia surgeons in Andhra Pradesh.
This procedure helps men achieve a flatter, firmer, more masculine chest by removing excess glandular tissue, fat, and skin.
Gynecomastia refers to the abnormal enlargement of male breast tissue caused by hormonal imbalance, genetics, medications, obesity, lifestyle factors, or unknown reasons (idiopathic).
Men with gynecomastia often experience:
Chest asymmetry
Difficulty wearing fitted shirts
Embarrassment while removing shirts
Lack of confidence
Inability to exercise comfortably
Gynecomastia Surgery offers a permanent solution, providing a natural-looking masculine chest contour through liposuction, gland excision, or a combination of both.
At Pratap Hospital, every treatment plan is customized based on severity, skin quality, and chest anatomy ensuring natural, sculpted, and safe outcomes.
Gynecomastia Surgery—also known as Male Breast Reduction—is a cosmetic procedure that removes:
Excess glandular tissue
Stubborn chest fat
Loose or sagging skin (in advanced cases)
The goal is to restore a flat, contoured male chest that maintains natural definition and masculine proportions.
| Type | Description | Surgical Approach |
|---|---|---|
| Type 1 | Small gland under nipple | Gland excision |
| Type 2 | Moderate gland & fat | Liposuction + excision |
| Type 3 | Large enlargement | Extensive sculpting + excision |
| Type 4 | Severe with skin excess | Reduction + Nipple repositioning |

Careful shaping to prevent dips or hollowing

Most patients rate results as life-changing
Results are permanent if a stable weight and healthy lifestyle are maintained.
Glandular tissue does not grow back unless triggered by hormonal disorders, steroids, or certain medications.
The chest looks flat, masculine, and naturally contoured.
Pain is minimal and well-controlled with medication.
Incisions are very small and placed around the nipple edge — they fade significantly over time.
Light walking immediately; chest workouts after 4–6 weeks.
Rare, unless triggered by hormonal imbalance or steroid use.
Immediate reduction is visible, with final contour at 8–12 weeks.
If gland dominates, excision is necessary; liposuction alone won’t solve true gynecomastia.
