If you’re considering male breast reduction (gynecomastia surgery) in Delhi, it’s natural to have many questions. At Panache Aesthetics, I believe an informed patient recovers better and feels more confident about their decision.
Here’s a detailed, step-by-step guide to help you prepare for your surgery.

✅ 1. What medical tests are needed before gynecomastia surgery?

Before scheduling your surgery, I recommend:

• Basic blood investigations (CBC, kidney and liver function tests)

• Hormonal profile (if gynecomastia is suspected to be hormone-related)

These tests ensure your safety during anesthesia and help identify any underlying medical issues.

⚖️ 2. Should I lose weight before surgery?

Yes! Being close to your ideal body weight gives the best contour and long-term results. If you lose significant weight after surgery, the chest skin may become loose, affecting the outcome.

🚭 3. What to stop or avoid before surgery?

For smoother healing and fewer complications:

• Stop smoking at least 2–3 weeks before surgery

• Avoid blood thinners, aspirin, and certain herbal supplements (only under your doctor’s advice)

🏋️‍♂️ 4. Should I stop exercising?

Light cardio can usually continue, but please avoid heavy chest workouts for about a week before surgery. This helps reduce chest muscle tension and bruising during recovery.

📦 5. What to bring on the day of surgery?

• All your medical test reports

• Comfortable, loose, front-open shirt

• The compression garment we will provide or recommend

• Basic toiletries if you plan to stay overnight

🍽 6. Is fasting required?

Yes, you must fast for at least 6–8 hours before surgery — no food or drink, including water. This is essential for your safety under anesthesia.

🏥 7. Will I need someone to accompany me?

Definitely! Even though gynecomastia surgery is usually a day-care procedure, you will need someone to help you get home and stay with you the first night.

🩹 8. How much time will I need off work and gym?

Most patients take 3–5 days off work after surgery.
Avoid:

• Heavy lifting or chest exercises for around 3–4 weeks

• Intense cardio for at least 2–3 weeks

Following these guidelines helps your chest heal properly and maintains your results.

🧠 9. How should I prepare mentally?

• Understand what the surgery can and cannot do: it removes excess breast tissue and fat, but skin quality and elasticity also affect results.

• Have open discussions about your expectations, scars, and recovery timeline.

At Panache Aesthetics, I always encourage patients to ask every question, no matter how small.

✨ 10. Why choosing an experienced plastic surgeon matters

Gynecomastia surgery is about more than just removing tissue — it’s about:

• Achieving a natural, masculine contour

• Minimizing scars

• Ensuring a safe, smooth recovery

I, Dr. Ankit Gupta, specialize in advanced techniques like ultrasound-assisted liposuction (VASER) and minimally invasive gland removal, so you get a balanced, natural look.
