Overview

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.

Who is a Good Candidate?

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.

Grades of Gynecomastia

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.

1

Grade 1

Small enlargement without skin excess. Treated with liposuction alone in most cases.

2

Grade 2

Moderate enlargement without skin excess. Requires liposuction plus glandular excision through a small periareolar incision.

3

Grade 3

Moderate enlargement with mild skin excess. Combines liposuction, excision, and sometimes skin tightening.

4

Grade 4

Severe enlargement with significant skin excess. May require skin removal with excision for optimal results.

The Procedure

Dr. Prashant uses a combination approach for most gynecomastia cases, tailored to your specific grade and goals.

1

Liposuction

Excess fat is removed through small, hidden incisions, softening the chest contour and preparing the area for glandular correction.

2

Glandular Excision

The firm glandular tissue behind the nipple is directly excised through a semicircular incision along the areola edge, which heals to become nearly invisible.

3

Skin Removal (Grade 4)

In cases with significant skin excess, additional skin removal may be needed for the best contour and tightness.

Gynecomastia FAQ

In the vast majority of cases, gynecomastia does not recur after surgery if the underlying hormonal cause has been addressed. The glandular tissue removed during surgery does not regenerate. Significant weight gain or steroid use can potentially cause recurrence.
The incision is placed along the lower edge of the areola, where the darker skin meets the lighter chest skin. This natural color transition line camouflages the scar, making it virtually invisible once healed.
Some insurance providers cover gynecomastia surgery when it is documented as a medical condition causing physical symptoms. Dr. Prashant's team can assist with insurance documentation and pre-authorization.
