Who Is a Good Candidate

  • ✓Persistent glandular breast enlargement not resolved by weight loss
  • ✓Hormonal or medication-related causes ruled out or addressed first
  • ✓Good general health, stable weight
  • ✓Realistic expectations about chest contour improvement

Procedure Details

Performed under general anesthesia. Depending on whether the enlargement is mainly fatty or glandular tissue, liposuction, direct surgical excision through a small areolar incision, or a combination of both is used to flatten and contour the chest. Duration is typically 1-2 hours.

Recovery Timeline

  1. Day 1-3 A compression vest is worn; soreness and swelling are expected.
  2. Week 1 Return to desk-based work; compression garment continues to be worn most of the day.
  3. Week 3-4 Gradual return to exercise, avoiding chest-focused strain initially.
  4. Week 6-8 Most swelling resolved; final chest contour visible.

Risks & Complications

As with any procedure, individual risk depends on your health history and will be discussed fully during consultation.

  • !Asymmetry between the two sides
  • !Changes in nipple sensation
  • !Contour irregularity
  • !Fluid collection (seroma or hematoma)
  • !Visible scarring, more noticeable when excision is required
  • !Recurrence if an underlying hormonal cause is not addressed

Dr. Karan Ratna Pradhan's Approach

Dr. Pradhan's practice is built on the principle that plastic and reconstructive surgery should look natural, not "done." Every consultation starts with listening to what you want to change and why, followed by an honest discussion of what this procedure can and can't achieve for your specific anatomy, with techniques adapted case-by-case.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will gynecomastia come back after surgery?
Surgically removed tissue does not regrow, but recurrence is possible if an untreated hormonal cause or significant future weight gain occurs.
Will there be visible scars?
When liposuction alone is sufficient, scarring is minimal; if gland excision is needed, a small scar around the areola edge is typical and usually fades well.
At what age can this be done?
It is generally recommended once breast development has stabilized, often from late teens onward, though this is assessed individually.
Do I need blood tests before surgery?
Yes, ruling out hormonal or medication-related causes beforehand is standard practice.
