Introduction
Do you feel self-conscious about chest fullness or puffiness in your shirt? Do you avoid tight clothing or hesitate at the gym or pool?
Gynecomastia is the enlargement of male breast tissue caused by hormonal imbalance, weight fluctuations, medications, or genetics. While it’s medically harmless in most cases, it often leads to emotional distress, social anxiety, and a loss of confidence. At Asteria Aesthetics Bhopal, Dr. Apoorv Loya offers scar-minimizing gynecomastia correction surgery that removes both glandular and fatty components to restore a flatter, more masculine chest profile.
Common Causes
Gynecomastia is not always related to excess body fat. Even lean men can have noticeable breast tissue due to glandular enlargement or hormonal shifts.
Common causes include:
- Puberty-related hormonal changes that persist into adulthood
- Imbalance between testosterone and estrogen levels
- Steroid or hormone supplement use (bodybuilding-related)
- Long-term use of medications (antidepressants, anti-ulcer, etc.)
- Liver or thyroid dysfunction
- Genetics or idiopathic causes (no clear reason)
The condition may affect one or both sides and can feel firm, rubbery, or tender under the areola.
Treatment Process
Gynecomastia correction is a day-care surgical procedure performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on severity.
Step 1: Chest Evaluation & Grading
Description: Dr. Apoorv Loya examines the chest to determine whether the enlargement is due to fat, gland, or both. Grading (Grade I to III) helps define the treatment strategy.
Result: A customized approach is planned—liposuction only, gland excision, or a combination.
Best For: All men with visible chest puffiness or discomfort.
Step 2: Surgical Correction
Description: A tiny incision is made near the areola or under the chest fold. Power-assisted liposuction is performed to remove fat, and glandular tissue is excised if needed. Skin tightening may be added for larger cases.
Result: Flatter, firmer, and natural-looking male chest contour.
Best For: Mild to moderate gynecomastia with or without skin laxity.
Step 3: Recovery & Results
Description: A compression garment is worn for 3–4 weeks to aid healing. Swelling and minor bruising resolve in 7–10 days. Exercise and normal work resume within a week.
Result: Permanent reduction of chest bulk and improved body confidence.
Best For: Men seeking discreet, long-term correction.

Before Your Treatment
Patients often report chest bulkiness since teenage years, avoiding activities like swimming or tight T-shirts. A thorough consultation identifies the grade, extent, and expectations.

Slight soreness, swelling, and firmness are common. Within 1–2 weeks, the chest appears noticeably flatter. Complete contouring is visible by 4–6 weeks.

FAQs
Q1. Will gynecomastia return after surgery?
No. Once the gland and fat are removed, the results are permanent. However, hormone imbalance, steroids, or weight gain may cause new fat deposition.
Q2. Will there be scars?
The incisions are very small and hidden in natural folds. Scarring is minimal and fades with time.
Q3. Is the surgery painful?
Mild discomfort for the first 2–3 days is common, but pain is easily managed with medication.
Q4. When can I go back to the gym?
You can resume light workouts in 2 weeks and chest training by week 4.
Q5. Is the result natural-looking?
Yes. We contour the chest, remove excess bulk, and ensure evenness so the result blends with your body frame.
Q6. Can gynecomastia be cured without surgery?
In early or mild cases (Grade I), gynecomastia caused by fat accumulation or temporary hormonal fluctuations may improve with exercise, diet, and hormonal correction. However, once glandular tissue has developed, surgery is the only permanent and definitive treatment.
