Male Breast Reduction Is Surgery The Only Option

Updated: Jan 11, 2023



Typical Male Breast

Gynecomastia is an enlargement of the male breast. It may be due to the accumulation of fat or gland enlargement itself. Gynecomastia in India occurs mainly in the young population between 16 to 30 years. Common Gynecomastia Symptoms include:

Puffiness of nipple

Breast contour is similar to a female which precludes them to wear some t-shirts and well-fitted shirts.

Pain in the breast

They may feel ashamed in a social gathering or when on a beach due to abnormal contours.
When you have any of these symptoms, you may be embarrassed but rely on online resources for the treatment.

In this article, I will try to outline the stages of gynecomastia, what you should be worried about, and the danger signs you should detect early.

Whether it requires Gynecomastia treatment without surgery in all

Is there any alternative treatment for Gynecomastia

Gynecomastia Stages
  • It is divided into three grades.

  • Further, the 2nd grade is split into two subtypes.

  • Grading is based on how it is near to the female breast contour.

  • Except in higher grades of 2C and above, most of them are physiological.

  • With proper diet and exercise, you may reduce the prominence, but requires a lot of effort and time.

  • Higher grades need to be evaluated for not only breast malignancy but also for testicular failure.


Is there any Gynecomastia treatment without surgery?

Yes, there are medications that help arrest the further progression and reduce the pain. The most commonly used medicine is antioesrogen molecules which have other significant effects, thus used rarely.

The only proven treatment is liposuction and gland excision.


What are the advantages of gynecomastia surgery?
  • Liposuction alone is an effective treatment for gynecomastia in many cases

  • Male breast reduction can also treat puffy nipples

  • Most patients return to work or school in less than 1 week

  • Results are typically permanent but can be affected by weight gain or certain medication


Treating Gynecomastia with Liposuction

I have treated a vast number MAJORITY of gynecomastia patients using liposuction. Thanks to the advanced liposuction technology that has resulted in a more comprehensive selection of these less invasive techniques.

The procedure for gynecomastia surgery treatment with liposuction is typically performed using local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, and involves a small incision on each side of the chest. Through these incisions, excess fat and/or glandular tissue is removed and simultaneously sculpting a new chest contour that looks natural to your body.

The recovery process following liposuction is smooth, and complications are unheard of in my practice. Patients are often given a compression garment to wear for the first few weeks after surgery; this helps to minimize swelling and offers support to the healing tissues. While vigorous exercise is typically off-limits for about 3 weeks, many men return to work or school within several days after their procedures. However, it is necessary to understand that everyone heals at a unique pace. Thus we will give you individualized instructions for recovery.

Cost of gynecomastia treatment

The cost of gynecomastia in Bangalore ranges from Rs 35,000 to Rs 50,000. It is mainly based on the expertise of the surgeon technology used for contouring.


Don’t fall prey to online ads and promotion

Mostly they are form aggregators who offer various schemes and benefits.
My honest suggestion is to meet a qualified plastic surgeon personally.
Make sure he is the decision maker, not any marketing person.


Discuss freely all your concerns

Make sure he has all the available technology at his disposal to give the best result such as VASER, Power-assisted devices, and RF and cavitation devices at his disposal for the best long-term results.

Surgery is not mandatory for everybody it is a purely cosmetic procedure which no proven result of reduced cancer risk or other benefits in the long run.
