Gynecomastia is the enlargement of male breast tissue, which can affect men and boys at different stages of life. While it is generally benign, enlarged breast tissue can sometimes cause embarrassment, self-consciousness, and difficulty feeling comfortable in fitted clothing, at the gym, or in social situations. Gynecomastia treatment in Mumbai can help address excess glandular tissue and fat while creating a flatter and more masculine-looking chest.
At Jewel Aesthetic Centre, Dr. Devayani Barve provides individualized aesthetic and body-contouring solutions based on the patient’s chest anatomy, degree of enlargement, skin quality, and treatment goals.
Gynecomastia refers to the enlargement of male breast tissue. It may be related to hormonal changes, particularly during puberty, or may be associated with certain medications, underlying hormonal conditions, weight changes, or other factors.
It is important to distinguish gynecomastia from excess chest fat. When glandular breast tissue is present, exercise and weight loss alone may not completely correct the appearance. A consultation with an experienced plastic surgeon can help determine whether the enlargement is primarily glandular tissue, excess fat, or a combination of both.
Men may consider treatment when chest enlargement:
The decision to undergo surgery should be based on individual concerns and a professional clinical assessment rather than appearance alone.
The surgical approach depends on the amount and type of tissue present. Dr. Devayani Barve’s reference information describes a combination of liposuction and direct gland excision when required. Liposuction can address excess fatty tissue, while firm glandular tissue may be removed through a small incision around the areola. If there is significant skin laxity, additional skin tightening may be considered.
The objective is not simply to remove tissue but to create a balanced chest contour while maintaining appropriate proportions and symmetry.
