Many men feel self‑conscious about chest fullness or “man boobs” — a condition known as gynecomastia. While common, it can deeply affect confidence, posture, and even lifestyle choices.

At Panache Aesthetics, Delhi, Dr. Ankit Gupta and our team regularly treat men of all ages with gynecomastia. Here’s a friendly guide to answer the most common questions if you’re considering gynecomastia (male breast reduction) surgery.

---

1. What is gynecomastia?

Gynecomastia is the benign enlargement of male breast tissue, often caused by hormonal changes, genetics, certain medications or lifestyle factors. It may appear as a small, firm lump under the nipple, or as excess fat and gland giving a fuller chest shape.

2. Who is the right candidate for surgery?

You may benefit from surgery if:

• Chest fullness has persisted beyond puberty (usually > 1–2 years)

• You’re healthy and near stable weight

• Diet and exercise haven’t reduced the fullness

• You feel self‑conscious in fitted shirts or social situations

---

3. How is gynecomastia surgery performed?

Surgery usually combines:

• Liposuction to remove excess fat

• Gland excision through a small incision near the areola to remove firm gland tissue

The procedure is typically done under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, and usually takes about 1–2 hours.

4. Are there visible scars?

Scars are usually small and hidden along the areola border. In severe cases, longer scars may be needed to tighten loose skin, but most patients have only tiny, barely noticeable marks.

---

5. What is recovery like?

• You can usually go home the same day

• Wear a compression garment for 4–6 weeks

• Swelling, bruising or mild discomfort is common initially

• Avoid strenuous exercise for 4–6 weeks; most return to desk jobs within a few days

---

6. Are results permanent?

Yes — as long as you maintain stable weight and healthy lifestyle. Hormonal imbalance, steroid use, or major weight gain could cause recurrence.

---

7. How do I choose the right surgeon?

Choose a qualified Plastic Surgeon, ideally MCh trained, who performs gynecomastia surgery regularly. Ask:

• Before/after photos of real patients

• OT hygiene and center registration with Delhi Medical Council

• Whether gland excision plus liposuction will be done for natural contour

---

8. What is the cost of gynecomastia surgery?

Cost depends on the grade (amount of tissue & skin laxity), technique used, anesthesia, and hospital charges. After an in‑person evaluation, Dr. Ankit Gupta can share a customized estimate.
