Gynecomastia: More Than a Physical Issue

Gynecomastia affects identity, confidence, and daily life. Patients commonly report hiding their chest, avoiding swimming, feeling anxious in social situations, and enduring teasing or bullying. We treat both the physical chest contour and the emotional burden that comes with it.

What Is Gynecomastia?

Gynecomastia is the benign enlargement of male breast tissue due to fat, glandular tissue, or both. We evaluate the fat component, gland component, skin laxity, and nipple-areolar shape to plan treatment.

For a detailed medical explanation of gynecomastia, treatment planning, surgery, recovery, and long-term outcomes, refer to our complete gynecomastia surgery guide.

Grading & When Surgery Is Indicated

• Grade I: Mild fullness, usually liposuction alone.
• Grade II (A/B): Moderate gland component—most need combined technique.
• Grade III: Large volume with sagging—may need skin tightening.

Why Choose Us

We emphasize precision chest contouring using the Ultrasonic-Assisted Micro-Incision Protocol and Lipovase (4th-gen VASER) for better contour, less trauma, and minimal visible scarring.

Treatment Options

Lipovase (Ultrasonic-Assisted Liposuction)

Ultrasound energy emulsifies fat for selective removal—benefits include less bruising, better contouring, and improved skin tightening. In cases where excess fat is a major component, liposuction is commonly used as part of gynecomastia surgery to achieve a flatter, more natural chest contour.

Gland Excision (Micro-incision)

Small areolar incisions remove firm glandular tissue that liposuction cannot address alone. Incision size is minimized to reduce visible scarring.

 

The cost of gynecomastia surgery in Nagpur depends on several individual factors. Since every patient’s condition is different, the final cost is decided after a detailed clinical examination.

Gynecomastia surgery cost in Nagpur typically starts from ₹50,000 and may vary depending on the complexity of the condition and the surgical technique required

Recovery Timeline

Time	What happens	Activity
0–2 days	Mild pain & swelling	Rest
3–7 days	Improved mobility	Desk work
2–3 weeks	Major swelling reduces	Light cardio
4–6 weeks	Most healing done	Resume chest training gradually
3–6 months	Final contour settles	Full activity

Recovery After Gynecomastia Surgery (What to Expect)

Recovery after gynecomastia surgery is usually smooth when performed using modern techniques such as VASER-assisted liposuction with  gland excision.

Most patients are discharged the same day and can resume light daily activities within a few days. Mild pain, swelling, and tightness in the chest are common during the first week and are well controlled with prescribed medications and compression garments.

Desk work is typically possible within 3–5 days. Strenuous activities, chest workouts, and gym exercises are gradually resumed after 3–4 weeks, depending on the extent of surgery and individual healing.

Final chest contour continues to improve over the next few months as swelling settles and the skin adapts to the new shape. Regular follow-ups help ensure optimal healing and long-term results.

Emotional Transformation After Surgery

After surgery, patients frequently report dramatic improvements in confidence, body image, and social comfort. Common changes include wearing fitted shirts without anxiety, returning to swimming, improved posture, and reduced social avoidance.

Frequently Asked Questions about Gynecomastia Surgery

Is gynecomastia surgery permanent?

Gynecomastia surgery provides long-lasting results when the enlarged gland tissue is properly removed.
Once the gland is excised, it does not grow back. However, significant weight gain, hormonal imbalance, or use of certain medications or steroids can affect chest appearance in the future. These factors are discussed during consultation to minimise recurrence risk.

---

Will there be visible scars after gynecomastia surgery?

Scars after gynecomastia surgery are usually small and discreet.
Incisions are strategically placed around the areola or within natural skin creases, where they tend to heal well and fade over time. With proper technique and scar care, scars are typically barely noticeable in most patients.

---

Is gynecomastia surgery painful?

Gynecomastia surgery is well tolerated by most patients.
Post-operative discomfort is usually mild to moderate and is effectively managed with medications. Tightness or soreness in the chest is expected for a few days and gradually improves as healing progresses.

---

What is the recovery time after gynecomastia surgery?

Most patients can return to light daily activities within a few days.
Desk work is often resumed within a week, while strenuous exercise and heavy lifting are avoided for a few weeks as advised. A compression garment is worn during early recovery to support healing and contouring.

---

Can gynecomastia come back after surgery?

True recurrence after proper gland removal is uncommon.
However, factors such as significant weight gain, hormonal issues, or anabolic steroid use can cause fat accumulation or hormonal changes in the chest. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and addressing underlying causes helps preserve long-term results.

What causes gynecomastia and who usually needs surgery?

Gynecomastia can be caused by hormonal imbalance, genetic factors, certain medications, steroid use, or puberty-related changes. Surgery may be advised when chest enlargement persists despite weight loss or exercise and glandular tissue is confirmed on clinical examination.

---

How can I tell if my chest problem is fat or true gynecomastia?

Chest fat usually feels soft and spread across the chest, whereas true gynecomastia presents as firm or rubbery tissue beneath the nipple area. A physical examination by a surgeon is necessary to accurately differentiate between fat and gland.

---

Can weight loss or exercise completely correct gynecomastia?

Weight loss and exercise can reduce excess chest fat but cannot remove glandular breast tissue. When glandular tissue is present, surgical removal is the most reliable method for correction.

---

What surgical techniques are commonly used for gynecomastia correction?

Gynecomastia surgery may involve one or a combination of the following techniques:
• Liposuction to remove excess fatty tissue
• Micro-incision excision to remove firm glandular tissue
• Skin tightening or limited lift procedures in selected higher-grade cases

The surgical approach is individualized based on chest anatomy and examination findings.

---

How long does gynecomastia surgery take and what type of anaesthesia is used?

The procedure typically takes between 60 and 120 minutes. It is commonly performed under general anaesthesia or appropriate sedation, depending on the surgical plan and patient factors.

---

Is gynecomastia surgery done as a day-care procedure?

In most cases, gynecomastia surgery is performed as a day-care procedure, allowing patients to return home the same day after a short period of observation.

---

Do I need to wear a compression garment after surgery?

Yes. A compression garment helps to reduce swelling, support proper healing, and improve final chest contour. It is usually worn continuously for the first 1–2 weeks, followed by part-time use as advised by the surgeon.

---

When can I resume gym or physical activity after surgery?

Light daily activities can usually be resumed within a few days. Strenuous exercise and chest workouts are generally avoided for about 3–4 weeks to allow proper healing.

---

Can gynecomastia return after surgery?

Recurrence is uncommon once glandular tissue is removed. However, significant weight gain, hormonal imbalance, or steroid use may affect chest appearance in the future.

---

Is gynecomastia surgery considered safe?

When performed by a qualified plastic surgeon in a proper surgical facility, gynecomastia surgery is considered a safe and commonly performed procedure. Potential risks and limitations are discussed in detail during consultation.

Gynecomastia Surgery in Nagpur – Clinical Summary

Gynecomastia is the benign enlargement of male breast tissue caused by excess glandular tissue, fat, or both. It commonly affects adolescents and adult men and may cause physical discomfort, body image concerns, and social anxiety.

Gynecomastia surgery in Nagpur is typically performed as a day-care procedure using a combination of liposuction and targeted gland excision, depending on the grade and tissue composition.

Dr. Bhupendra Gaidhane is a plastic surgeon in Nagpur who performs gynecomastia surgery using ultrasonic-assisted liposuction (Lipovase – 4th generation VASER) combined with micro-incision gland excision when required.

Liposuction alone is suitable for mild gynecomastia dominated by fatty tissue. Firm glandular tissue beneath the nipple usually requires surgical excision through a small areolar incision.

Ultrasonic-assisted liposuction helps emulsify fat selectively, reduce bleeding, improve chest contouring, and assist in skin retraction.

The surgery is commonly completed within 60 to 120 minutes under appropriate anesthesia and does not usually require overnight hospital stay.

Most patients can return to desk work within 3 to 5 days. Light physical activity is permitted after one week, with gradual return to full exercise over 4 to 6 weeks.

Final chest contour typically settles over 3 to 6 months as swelling resolves and tissues adapt.

True recurrence of gynecomastia after complete gland removal is uncommon. Postoperative weight gain or fibrosis may mimic recurrence but is not the same condition.

Gynecomastia surgery often results in significant improvement in self-confidence, clothing comfort, posture, and social interaction.

Surgeries are performed at Nirvi 2 Hospital, Besa, Nagpur, following standardized safety and sterility protocols.
