What Is Gynecomastia Surgery?
Gynecomastia surgery, also known as male breast reduction, is a procedure designed to remove excess fat, glandular tissue, and, in some cases, skin from the chest area. The goal is to restore a natural, contoured, and masculine chest appearance.
Common Causes of Gynecomastia
Gynecomastia can develop due to:
Hormonal imbalances
Certain medications, such as steroids or anti-androgens
Weight fluctuations
Medical conditions like liver disease or thyroid issues
Genetic predisposition
If you’re experiencing gynecomastia, a consultation with Dr. Sanjay Parashar can help determine the underlying cause and the best treatment approach.

Patient Transformations
The Procedure: What to Expect
Consultation: During the initial consultation, Dr. Parashar will evaluate your condition, discuss your goals, and recommend a customized treatment plan.
Surgery Day: The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia and may involve:
Liposuction to remove excess fat
Excision to remove glandular tissue
Skin tightening if required
Duration: The surgery usually takes 1-2 hours, depending on the complexity.
Recovery: Most patients can return to light activities within a week and resume full physical activity within 4-6 weeks.
Preparation Before Surgery
Proper preparation is crucial to ensure a smooth surgical process and recovery. Here’s how to prepare for gynecomastia surgery:
Medical Evaluation: You will undergo a full medical evaluation, including blood tests and a review of your health history, to ensure you are fit for surgery.
Medication Adjustments: Dr. Parashar will advise you to stop taking certain medications, such as blood thinners, two weeks before surgery to reduce the risk of bleeding.
Healthy Lifestyle: Avoid smoking and alcohol consumption at least two weeks before surgery, as they can interfere with healing. Staying well-hydrated and maintaining a balanced diet will support your recovery process.
Fasting Instructions: If general anesthesia is required, you will need to fast for several hours before the procedure. Dr. Parashar will provide specific fasting guidelines based on your surgery schedule.
What Happens Inside the Surgery Room?
During gynecomastia surgery, the procedure is carefully planned to ensure the best possible outcome. Here’s a look at what happens:
Anesthesia Administration: You will be placed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation to ensure you are comfortable and pain-free throughout the surgery.
Fat Removal via Liposuction: For patients with excess fat in the chest area, small incisions are made, and a cannula is used to suction out the fat, sculpting the chest for a more masculine contour.
Glandular Tissue Removal: If glandular tissue is causing breast enlargement, a small incision around the areola is made to excise the tissue. This step is necessary when liposuction alone is insufficient to flatten the chest.
Chest Reshaping: Once the excess tissue is removed, Dr. Parashar carefully reshapes and contours the chest, ensuring symmetry and a natural appearance.
Incision Closure: The incisions are closed with dissolvable sutures, and compression garments are applied to help control swelling and support the healing process.
Aftercare and Safety Guidelines
Proper post-operative care is essential to ensure a successful recovery. After gynecomastia surgery, follow these guidelines to optimize your healing:
Compression Garments: You will need to wear compression garments to minimize swelling and support the newly contoured chest area.
Avoid Strenuous Activities: Strenuous physical activities, including heavy lifting and intense exercise, should be avoided for four to six weeks post-surgery. Light walking is encouraged to improve circulation and promote healing.
Medications: Pain relievers and antibiotics will be prescribed to manage discomfort and prevent infection. It’s important to follow the prescribed medication schedule.
Incision Care: Keep the incision areas clean and dry. Dr. Parashar will provide instructions on how to care for your incisions, including when to change dressings and how to avoid infection.
Recovery Period
Gynecomastia surgery requires a recovery period, during which your body will heal and adapt to its new shape. Here’s what to expect:
First Week: You may experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort, but you should be able to resume light activities and walking within a few days.
Two to Four Weeks: Swelling will gradually subside, and you will begin to see the initial results. Light activities can typically be resumed, but avoid placing strain on your chest.
Full Recovery: Complete recovery takes approximately three to six months, at which point the final results of your surgery will be fully visible. Your chest will appear flatter, firmer, and more masculine.
