Gynecomastia

Gynecomastia is a condition characterized by the enlargement of male breast tissue due to an imbalance between estrogen and testosterone hormones. It can affect one or both breasts and may occur at any age—from adolescence to older adulthood. While gynecomastia is not a serious medical condition, it often causes physical discomfort, emotional stress, and reduced self-confidence in men.

Puberty-related hormonal changes
Aging

Psychological distress or embarrassment

Procedure

Gynecomastia surgery is the most effective and permanent treatment to reduce male breast enlargement.

How the Surgery Is Done
The procedure is performed under local or general anesthesia, ensuring the patient is comfortable and pain-free.
Small, carefully placed incisions are made around the edge of the nipple or in natural skin folds.
Liposuction is used to remove excess fatty tissue.
Gland excision is done to remove the firm breast gland that cannot be removed by exercise or diet.
If needed, excess loose skin is also removed to achieve a smooth chest contour.
The incisions are closed with fine stitches to minimize scarring.

Recovery

Recovery and Duration
Discharge on the same day of surgery
Mild pain, swelling, and bruising expected for a few days
Compression garment advised for 3–6 weeks
Return to desk work in 3–5 days
Avoid heavy exercise and chest workouts for 3–4 weeks
Gradual improvement with final results visible in 4–8 weeks
