Gynecomastia Surgery in Chennai
Gynecomastia is the enlargement of glandular breast tissue in males. It can affect one or both sides of the chest and may cause discomfort, self-consciousness, or difficulty feeling comfortable in fitted clothing.
Dr. Aneesh Suresh offers consultations in Chennai for patients considering gynecomastia surgery, also known as male breast reduction.
What Causes Gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia can develop due to hormonal changes, certain medications, underlying medical conditions, or other factors. Excess fat around the chest can also create a fuller appearance, but fat accumulation and glandular breast enlargement are different conditions. A medical assessment helps identify the likely cause and determine whether further investigations or treatment are needed.
What Is Gynecomastia Surgery?
Gynecomastia surgery aims to reduce excess glandular tissue and, where appropriate, fat from the chest. The technique depends on the amount of glandular tissue, fat distribution, skin quality, and the patient's anatomy. The goal is to create a flatter, more proportionate chest while maintaining patient safety and realistic expectations.
Benefits of Male Breast Reduction
For suitable patients, gynecomastia surgery may help:
- Reduce excess breast tissue and chest fullness.
- Improve chest contours and proportions.
- Make certain clothing and physical activities more comfortable.
- Address self-consciousness related to chest appearance.
Results vary, and surgery may involve scarring, changes in nipple sensation, asymmetry, fluid accumulation, or other complications.
Recovery After Gynecomastia Surgery
Recovery depends on the surgical technique and extent of treatment. Patients may be advised to wear a compression garment and temporarily avoid strenuous exercise. Follow-up visits help monitor healing and address any concerns.
