A minimally invasive procedure that removes excess glandular tissue and fat to restore a flatter, more masculine chest contour.
Gynecomastia is a condition where excess breast tissue develops in men, causing the chest to appear enlarged or feminized. It affects an estimated 30-60% of males at some point in their lives and can cause significant embarrassment, self-consciousness, and avoidance of situations like swimming, gym workouts, or wearing fitted clothing.
Gynecomastia surgery, also called male breast reduction, removes excess glandular tissue and fat to create a flatter, more masculine chest contour. Dr. Prashant Choudhari performs this procedure in Kolhapur, using a combination of liposuction and direct excision tailored to the severity of each case.
Men with enlarged breast tissue that has not responded to diet or exercise.
One or both breasts appear swollen or puffy.
You feel self-conscious about your chest appearance.
You are in good general health and at a stable weight.
Hormonal causes have been evaluated and ruled out or treated.
Gynecomastia is classified into four grades based on the extent of tissue enlargement and skin excess. Your grade determines the surgical technique Dr. Prashant recommends.
Small enlargement without skin excess. Treated with liposuction alone in most cases.
Moderate enlargement without skin excess. Requires liposuction plus glandular excision through a small periareolar incision.
Moderate enlargement with mild skin excess. Combines liposuction, excision, and sometimes skin tightening.
Severe enlargement with significant skin excess. May require skin removal with excision for optimal results.
Dr. Prashant uses a combination approach for most gynecomastia cases, tailored to your specific grade and goals.
Excess fat is removed through small, hidden incisions, softening the chest contour and preparing the area for glandular correction.
The firm glandular tissue behind the nipple is directly excised through a semicircular incision along the areola edge, which heals to become nearly invisible.
In cases with significant skin excess, additional skin removal may be needed for the best contour and tightness.
