Gynecomastia is a condition where men develop breast-like tissues, often referred to as "man boobs." This issue arises due to excess development of breast glandular tissue, excess fat deposition over the chest, or a combination of both. Overdeveloped breasts in men can be quite common, especially during puberty when breast glands may temporarily enlarge. Other causes include certain medical conditions, specific drugs, and hormonal changes. For many men, gynecomastia leads to low self-confidence and emotional discomfort, often resulting in the avoidance of intimate situations or physical activities to hide their appearance.

Male breast enlargement can occur bilaterally (in both breasts) or unilaterally (only in one breast). At Cutis, male breast reduction surgery is a highly personalized procedure performed after a thorough examination and detailed discussion with the patient.

Treatment Options for Gynecomastia

There are two main surgical methods to treat gynecomastia: liposuction and traditional open surgery. In recent times, liposuction in Ahmedabad has become the preferred procedure for male breast reduction due to its effectiveness and quicker recovery time. At Cutis, we treat all gynecomastia patients using advanced liposuction techniques.

How Liposuction for Gynecomastia Works

Liposuction can be done under general or local anesthesia, depending on the specific needs of the patient. During the initial consultation, our expert cosmetic surgeon will determine the best option for you and provide detailed instructions regarding pre- and post-operative care.

Procedure Steps:

  1. Marking the Area: Before surgery, the areas to be treated are marked with a marker.
  2. Making the Incision: A small incision is made in the crease beneath each breast.
  3. Removing Excess Fat: The excess fat in the chest area is then gently removed through the incision using a suction cannula.
  4. Gland Removal (if necessary): If enlarged breast glands are present, they can be removed through the same incision.

Recovery from liposuction for gynecomastia is relatively quick, and patients can usually go home within 4-6 hours after the procedure. While strenuous physical activities such as swimming and weightlifting should be avoided for 2-3 weeks, most patients can return to their regular routines much sooner. To ensure the best results, patients are advised to wear an elastic pressure garment for 4 weeks post-surgery to help with contouring.
