Gynecomastia Surgery in Pune
Male breast reduction surgery for enlarged male breasts at Arra Aesthetics
Gynecomastia surgery, also called male breast reduction surgery, is a procedure to reduce enlarged male breast tissue and improve chest contour. The treatment may involve liposuction, tissue excision, or a combination of both, depending on the nature of the condition.
What is Gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia is a condition in which males develop enlarged breast tissue. It can occur during puberty due to hormonal changes and may also continue into adulthood.
During puberty, gynecomastia often reduces on its own within six months to two years. However, in some men, enlarged breast tissue does not go away.
Gynecomastia surgery can remove excess fat and glandular breast tissue to create a flatter and more proportionate chest.
After surgery, patients may see the following improvements:
- Reduced enlargement of the male breasts
- A flatter and more defined chest contour
- Less prominence around the nipples and areola
- Improved chest symmetry
- Better proportion between the chest and the rest of the body
- Reduced discomfort caused by excess breast tissue
- Greater confidence when wearing fitted clothing or going shirtless

What Concerns Can Gynecomastia Surgery Address?
Enlarged Male Breasts
Gynecomastia can cause the breast area to appear larger than expected. Surgery can reduce excess tissue and improve the chest contour.
Excess Chest Fat
Fat in the chest can contribute to a fuller appearance. Liposuction can be used to remove excess fat when appropriate.
Excess Glandular Tissue
Firm breast tissue may require surgical removal. This is known as excision.
Protruding Chest
Enlarged breast tissue can make the chest appear rounded or prominent. Male breast reduction can reduce this prominence.
Chest Appearance and Self-Consciousness
Some men feel uncomfortable or self-conscious about their chest. Surgery may help address the physical appearance of enlarged breasts.

How Is Gynecomastia Surgery Performed at Arra Aesthetics?
Anaesthesia
Depending on the procedure, the patient may receive local tumescent anaesthesia, IV sedation, or general anaesthesia.
Making the Incisions
For ultrasound VASER liposuction, one or two small ΒΌ-inch incisions are made on each side of the chest. For excision, an incision is made around the lower part of the areola to access and remove excess breast tissue.
Removing Excess Fat and Glandular Tissue
For VASER liposuction, fluid containing a long-acting anaesthetic is placed into the breast tissue. After it distributes through the tissue, small tubes are inserted through the incisions to remove excess fat. When glandular tissue needs to be removed, the excision technique is used. Excess tissue is cut out through an incision around the areola. Excision may also be combined with liposuction when required.
Closing the Incisions
The liposuction incisions are closed with small sutures. These may be dissolvable or may be removed after about 10 days. Self-dissolving stitches are used for excision. Drains are used only when very large amounts of breast tissue need to be removed. The need for drains is discussed with the patient beforehand.

Gynecomastia in Pune, as elsewhere, refers to the development of enlarged breast tissue in males. It can occur during puberty and may continue into adulthood.
The condition can be assessed during a consultation to determine whether the enlargement is due to glandular tissue, chest fat, or both.
Gynecomastia is often visible as enlargement of the breast area.
Chest fat usually feels soft, similar to fat elsewhere on the body. Gynecomastia may feel firmer and can sometimes include a firm area beneath the nipple.
If you notice breast enlargement or swelling, a doctor should examine the area to determine the cause.
Gynecomastia during puberty often resolves naturally within six months to two years.
Treatment depends on the cause. Lifestyle changes may help in cases associated with obesity, and medicines or other contributing factors may need to be reviewed. When enlarged breast tissue does not reduce sufficiently, surgery may be considered.
Anaesthesia is used during surgery so you do not feel pain during the procedure.
Some discomfort can occur during recovery. Pain relief medication may be prescribed after surgery.
At Arra Aesthetics, the surgical techniques include liposuction and excision.
Liposuction is used to remove excess fat. Excision removes excess glandular tissue. The two techniques may also be combined when required.
