Most common demographic: 15 – 25, teenagers and bodybuilders
Type 1 Gynecomastia is most commonly seen in adolescents, thin young men, and bodybuilders. Teenagers are often the hardest hit. Emotional problems go much further than other imperfections like obesity, pimples, bad hair, etc. It brings together the whole question of masculinity. Bodybuilders are an extraordinary subset. They typically have greater self – esteem with increased frustration with a “self – inflicted” problem and the results they are trying to achieve are ruined.
Type 1 surgery is usually performed under local anesthesia and the results are predictably excellent due to the tight skin and lean body type of the patient. Incisions are limited to the areola, which quickly fades away and can not be noticed.

Treatment by Dr. Ashutosh Shah is usually a short, minimally invasive procedure that flattens the chest with tiny, well-hidden scars.
What is type 1 gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia is enlargement of the male breast, graded by severity. Type 1 is the mildest: a small, localised amount of glandular tissue or fat behind the nipple that makes it look puffy or pointed, without loose skin.
It often does not settle with exercise because it is glandular. At Elegance Clinic, Surat, type 1 gynecomastia is treated with a focused, minimally invasive procedure.

What is type 1 gynecomastia?
It is the mildest grade of male breast enlargement, a small amount of tissue behind the nipple that causes a puffy look without loose skin.
Will exercise remove it?
If it is glandular tissue, exercise usually will not remove it. Fat can reduce with weight loss, but persistent puffiness often needs a minor procedure.
How is it treated?
Usually a short, minimally invasive procedure removes the small gland, sometimes with liposuction, through a tiny incision at the areola edge.
Are the scars visible?
Scars are small and placed at the areola edge, so they are usually barely noticeable once healed.
How long is recovery?
Most men return to light activities within a few days and see the final result over a few weeks as swelling settles.
