Gynecomastia Treatment - Procedure & Operation Benefits
An enlargement or swelling in the male chest area could indicate gynecomastia — a condition where excess glandular tissue causes the chest to appear more feminine. This may result from hormonal imbalance, obesity, or certain medications.

Gynecomastia Treatment
Gynecomastia occurs when male breast tissue becomes enlarged, often due to a hormonal imbalance, weight gain, or the use of certain medications. It may cause a firm or rubbery mass beneath the nipple area, leading to discomfort or self-consciousness. This condition is common in adolescents and adult men and can affect one or both sides of the chest.
Gynecomastia correction usually involves liposuction to remove excess fat and/or gland removal through a small incision. It is typically done under local or general anesthesia and takes 1–2 hours. Most procedures are day-care surgeries with no hospital stay.
Recovery is quick and smooth. Patients can return to routine activities within 2–3 days and resume exercise in about 2 weeks. A compression garment may be advised for 2–4 weeks to support healing and reduce swelling.
Surgical treatment provides immediate and permanent results with a high satisfaction rate. The chest becomes flatter, firmer, and more proportionate, with minimal or hidden scarring.
You may be a good candidate if:
You have persistent male breast enlargement
Experience physical discomfort or self-image issues
Are in good general health
Have tried lifestyle changes with no improvement
Permanent removal of excess tissue
Improved chest appearance
Minimal scarring with advanced techniques
Boost in self-esteem and confidence
Minor temporary effects include swelling, bruising, or numbness. Rarely, uneven results or fluid accumulation may occur. All risks are minimized with expert surgical care and post-op follow-up.

No. The procedure is done under local or general anesthesia, so you won’t feel pain. Some soreness or tightness is normal after surgery, but it's manageable.
The procedure typically takes 1 to 2 hours, and patients are usually discharged the same day.
Most patients return to light activities within 2–3 days. Full recovery takes 2–3 weeks, with compression garments worn to support healing.
At Sarthi Care, we use small, discreet incisions, often hidden in natural creases. Scars are minimal and fade over time with proper care.
In most cases, it does not return, especially if glandular tissue is removed completely. However, major hormonal changes, certain medications, or steroid use can cause recurrence.
Usually, insurance doesn’t cover cosmetic surgery. But if gynecomastia is causing significant physical or psychological issues, we can help assess and guide you on possible insurance coverage or EMI options.
