Gynecomastia is a condition marked by the enlargement of glandular tissue in male breasts, often resulting from hormonal imbalances during puberty, obesity, hereditary factors, or the use of certain medications. This condition can affect one or both breasts, sometimes unevenly, and can significantly impact self-confidence and comfort, leading many men to avoid physical activities and certain types of clothing.
Gynecomastia surgery, or male breast reduction, aims to reduce breast size in men, flattening and enhancing chest contours. This procedure involves the removal of excess fat, glandular tissue, and sometimes skin, and is similar to female breast reduction but tailored specifically for male patients. The ultimate goal is to restore a more masculine chest profile and alleviate the emotional and physical discomfort associated with gynecomastia.
The primary symptom is the enlargement of breast tissue, which may be more pronounced on one side. Other symptoms include:
Gynecomastia can result from various underlying issues, including:
Male breast reduction surgery offers numerous advantages:
The surgery typically begins with general anesthesia, followed by liposuction to remove excess fatty tissues. The breast gland may also be removed through an incision in the inframammary crease or around the areola. In cases with significant sagging and excess skin, additional procedures to tighten the skin and reduce the size of the areola may be necessary.
Patients usually return home on the same day as the surgery and are advised to rest completely for two days before gradually resuming light activities. It's crucial to wear a compression garment to support healing and reduce swelling. Most physical activities can resume within three weeks, but strenuous exercises should be avoided for six weeks.
While gynecomastia surgery is generally safe, potential risks include:
The cost of gynecomastia surgery varies based on the extent of surgery required, the specific techniques used, and the patient’s overall health. Detailed cost estimates are provided during consultation based on individual needs and surgical goals.

The safety of male breast reduction is a common concern but fortunately, the surgery is proven safe most of the time if performed by an experienced plastic surgeon. At Cutis, we have trained and experienced plastic surgery experts along with qualified and experienced anaesthesiologists and world-class anaesthesia equipment along with excellent post-operative care. All these things collectively work the best and truly deliver the finest results.
The gynecomastia surgery is performed under general anesthesia. The surgical procedure usually takes about couple of hour or longer to complete, depending on the amount of surgical work to be done. You can anytime consult our health workers and understand your requirements.
No, in general, there are no side effects, nor there is any danger or risk from gynecomastia surgery. However, some patients develop rashes and itching with pain due to skin contusions. Our doctors recommend you avoid any physical activities for 48–72 hours, such as driving, traveling, or elevating your shoulder. You may also need to cut off your daily routine for a day or two but you can resume your normal life very early.
Well, this surgery is safe and there is a minimal chance that a patient can get a side effect. But some common side effects, most of which are temporary, are –
Yes, as gynecomastia surgery permanently removes the excess fat and the glandular tissues, which play a role in enlarging the breast tissues and there are no chances of recurrence, this surgery can be considered as a permanent solution for male breast problems. However, the patients should follow the surgeon’s post-surgery recommendations and instructions.
Results are excellent, they are instant, long-lasting, and painless. Scars will fade away in a few months to a year, and within a fortnight, the patient will be in an appreciable shape and in optimum physical condition.
After surgery a small dressing is placed over the surgical incision site, patients are made to wear a pressure garment to support the fresh chest contour as it heals. Patients can take bath after 48 hours of surgery with the advice of their surgeon and avoid their daily routine activities like driving, traveling and elevation of both shoulder joints for 3 – 5 days and strenuous activities like swimming, gym, and exercising, and heavy weight lifting must be avoided for at least 4 -6 weeks.
We provide effective surgical and non-surgical treatments for all parts of the body. At Cutis Hospital, our cosmetic and plastic surgery team is committed to giving patients safe and high-quality care.
