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.

Pre-Surgical Evaluation

A thorough assessment ensures safe and predictable results.

Pre-Operative Investigations:

  • Complete chest examination

  • Hormonal profile (if indicated)

  • Ultrasound breast/chest (to differentiate fat vs gland)

  • ECG, blood tests, and fitness assessment

  • High-resolution photos for planning

  • Diet and lifestyle evaluation

Discussion with the Doctor Includes:

  • Type & grade of gynecomastia

  • Fat vs gland dominance

  • Need for liposuction vs gland removal

  • Expected scars

  • Compression garment duration

  • Exercise guidelines post-surgery

Gynecomastia Surgery involves two major components, depending on the type and severity.

1. Liposuction (Fat Removal)

Used to remove excess fat around the chest and define natural contours.

Techniques Used:

  • VASER Liposuction

  • Power-Assisted Liposuction

  • Micro-Aspiration Sculpting

Benefits:

  • Smooth, uniform chest

  • Minimal trauma and bleeding

  • Shorter recovery


2. Gland Excision (Hard Tissue Removal)

Essential for treating dense glandular tissue under the nipple.

Key Features:

  • Small incision around the areola

  • Removes the firm, fibrous gland

  • Prevents future recurrence

  • Maintains natural nipple shape


3. Skin Tightening & Chest Lift (For severe grades)

Used when there is loose or sagging skin due to massive weight loss.


Combination Approach (Most Common)

Most patients require liposuction + gland excision for best results.

Step-by-Step Procedure:

  1. Pre-surgery Marking:
    Chest contouring lines, gland zones, and symmetry markings.

  2. Anesthesia:
    Local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia based on the extent.

  3. Liposuction Phase:

    • Tiny incisions made

    • Fat melted (VASER) and removed

    • Chest sculpted for natural masculine contour

  4. Gland Removal:

    • Incision around the lower areola edge

    • Precise removal of gland

    • Careful shaping to prevent dips or hollowing

  5. Skin Management:

    • In advanced cases, excess skin is tightened or repositioned

  6. Closure & Dressing:

    • Incisions closed with fine sutures

    • Compression garment applied

    • Smooth contour ensured

  7. Discharge:
    Most patients return home the same day.

Immediate Post-Surgery:

  • Mild swelling or soreness

  • Compression garment mandatory

  • Drain (if placed) removed in 1–2 days

First 2 Weeks:

  • Resume office work

  • Avoid strenuous activities

  • Daily wound care

4–6 Weeks:

  • Can resume workouts gradually

  • Chest appears more sculpted

  • Scars begin to fade

3 Months:

  • Final contour visible

  • Skin tightens naturally

  • Most patients rate results as life-changing

Results & Longevity (Additional Section)

  • 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.

1. Is Gynecomastia Surgery painful?

Pain is minimal and well-controlled with medication.

2. Will I have visible scars?

Incisions are very small and placed around the nipple edge — they fade significantly over time.

3. How soon can I exercise?

Light walking immediately; chest workouts after 4–6 weeks.

4. Can the condition return?

Rare, unless triggered by hormonal imbalance or steroid use.

5. When will I see results?

Immediate reduction is visible, with final contour at 8–12 weeks.

6. Is liposuction enough?

If gland dominates, excision is necessary; liposuction alone won’t solve true gynecomastia.
