Restoring a flatter, more confident male chest
Gynaecomastia is a condition where men develop excess breast tissue, leading to a fuller or swollen chest appearance. Dr. Muddappa P. P., an experienced Plastic & Cosmetic Surgeon in Bangalore, offers gynaecomastia surgery to restore a flatter, masculine chest with safe and lasting results.

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

A consultation helps confirm the diagnosis and plan the most effective treatment.
Dr. Muddappa believes gynaecomastia treatment should restore confidence while maintaining a natural male appearance.
