What Is Gynaecomastia?

Gynaecomastia occurs when there is excess glandular tissue, fat, or both in the male chest. It is different from chest fat caused by weight gain alone and often does not improve with exercise or diet.

Treatment depends on the type and severity of gynaecomastia. A detailed evaluation helps determine whether surgery is needed and which technique would provide the best outcome.

A Careful and Respectful Approach

Dr. Muddappa understands that many men hesitate to seek treatment for gynaecomastia. Consultations are conducted with complete privacy, sensitivity, and respect.

As a trained plastic and reconstructive surgeon, Dr. Muddappa carefully assesses chest anatomy, skin quality, and underlying tissue. The goal is to achieve a natural, masculine chest contour without obvious signs of surgery.

Clear discussion about expected results, scars, and recovery helps patients make informed decisions.

The Gynaecomastia Surgery Procedure

Gynaecomastia surgery is usually performed under general anaesthesia or local anaesthesia with sedation, depending on the case.

The procedure may involve:

  • Liposuction to remove excess fatty tissue
  • Excision to remove firm glandular tissue
  • Or a combination of both

Small incisions are placed in discreet areas around the areola or chest, allowing scars to remain minimal and well concealed.

The surgery typically takes one to two hours, and patients usually return home the same day.

Recovery and Healing

Swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort are common during the first week and gradually improve. A compression garment is advised for a few weeks to support healing and improve contour.

Most patients return to desk work within a few days. Strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for a few weeks as advised.

Final chest shape becomes more defined over several weeks as swelling settles.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Gynaecomastia Surgery?

Gynaecomastia surgery may be suitable for men who:

  • Have persistent chest enlargement
  • Do not see improvement with exercise or weight loss
  • Are physically healthy
  • Have stable body weight
  • Have realistic expectations

A consultation helps confirm the diagnosis and plan the most effective treatment.
