Gynecomastia—commonly known as male breast enlargement—is a condition that can cause emotional distress, low self-confidence, and discomfort. Fortunately, modern cosmetic surgery offers an effective solution through male breast reduction surgery.
At Elegance Men’s Health Clinic, Surat, our expert gynecomastia surgeons have helped countless men achieve a flatter, more masculine chest with safe, minimally invasive procedures. If you are considering surgery, here’s a complete guide to what you should expect before, during, and after gynecomastia surgery.
What is Male Gynecomastia Surgery?
Male gynecomastia surgery—also called male breast reduction—is a cosmetic procedure designed to remove excess breast tissue, fat, and sometimes glandular tissue in men.
- It restores a flatter, firmer, and better-contoured chest.
- It can be performed using liposuction, surgical excision, or a combination of both.
- It is one of the most common cosmetic surgeries for men today.
Before Surgery: What to Expect and How to Prepare
Preparation is key to a safe and smooth recovery. At Elegance Men’s Health Clinic Surat, you will undergo:
- Medical evaluation: Tests and consultations to ensure you are fit for surgery.
- Lifestyle adjustments: Avoid smoking, alcohol, and certain medications for 2 weeks before the procedure.
- Realistic expectations: Your surgeon will discuss results and show you gynecomastia surgery before and after photos to help you understand outcomes.
The Day of Surgery: Step-by-Step Overview
- Duration: Most gynecomastia surgeries take 1–2 hours.
- Anaesthesia: Local or general, depending on the complexity.
- Procedure: Small incisions are made; liposuction and/or gland excision is performed.
- Post-surgery care: Dressings and compression garments are applied to aid healing.
After Surgery: Recovery and Healing Process
- Immediate recovery: Mild swelling, bruising, or discomfort is normal for the first few days.
- Gynecomastia surgery recovery time: Most men return to light activities in 3–5 days, but complete recovery may take 4–6 weeks.
- Exercise: Avoid strenuous workouts for at least 4 weeks.
- Results: Visible improvement is immediate, but final chest contour is best seen after 2–3 months.
Results and Long-Term Expectations
- Permanent results if weight is maintained.
- High satisfaction rate among men who undergo male breast reduction.
