Gynecomastia
Gynecomastia
Gynecomastia is a condition in which firm breast gland tissue (female like) forms in males. The
breast tissue is typically 1-1/2 inches across and is found directly under the nipple.
Gynecomastia could also be present on one side or on either side. This condition may make the
breast tender.
Gynaecomastia or male breasts reduction surgery is a procedure to sculpt male chest. Dr.

are visible.

Depending on the grades of gynaecomastia, the procedure are often performed under general

complications and are temporary. There can be laxity of skin if skin tone is not good. Infections, hematoma,
asymmetry, bruising, contour abnormality are few complications.

Strenuous/heavy activities are to be restricted for 3-4 weeks. Patient is advised to wear a
compression garment during first 4-6 weeks’ post-surgery to keep the contours as designed
during surgery. The final results are appreciated by the end of 2-3 months.

If your weight remains stable and proper diet and exercise regime is followed, the results are
long lasting/permanent.
