Types of gynecomastia.

Glandular GynecomastiaFatty Gynecomastia (Pseudogynecomastia)Mixed Gynecomastia

Glandular Gynecomastia

Characterized by excess firm glandular breast tissue beneath the nipple area, often appearing as a rubbery or firm mass that may be tender to touch and typically requires surgical excision for correction.

Fatty Gynecomastia (Pseudogynecomastia)

Results from excess fatty tissue accumulation in the chest without significant glandular enlargement, commonly associated with obesity or weight gain, and typically responds well to liposuction techniques.

Mixed Gynecomastia

Combination of both glandular tissue proliferation and excess fatty deposits, representing the most common presentation requiring a comprehensive surgical approach combining glandular excision with liposuction for optimal contour.

Our Approach

How we handle this condition.

A structured, patient-first approach from first visit to full recovery.

Step 01

Comprehensive Evaluation

Dr P Prakash conducts thorough physical examination, reviews medical history and medications, orders necessary blood work to assess hormone levels, and performs imaging studies to determine the extent of glandular versus fatty tissue involvement.

Step 02

Personalized Treatment Planning

Based on diagnostic findings, Dr P Prakash develops a customized surgical plan tailored to the patient's specific anatomy, selecting the optimal combination of liposuction and excision techniques, discussing expected outcomes, and setting realistic expectations.

Step 03

Advanced Surgical Technique

Dr P Prakash performs the procedure using state-of-the-art surgical techniques including power-assisted liposuction, precise glandular excision through minimal incisions, meticulous hemostasis, and careful contouring to create a natural masculine chest appearance with minimal scarring.

Step 04

Dedicated Post-Operative Care

Dr P Prakash provides comprehensive follow-up care including compression garment guidance, wound management instructions, scheduled post-operative visits to monitor healing, early complication detection, and long-term aesthetic outcome assessment to ensure optimal patient satisfaction.

Recovery

Recovery & aftercare.

What to expect at each phase of recovery.

Immediate Recovery (1-2 Weeks)Progressive Healing (2-6 Weeks)Complete Resolution (3-6 Months)

Immediate Recovery (1-2 Weeks)

Initial swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort managed with prescribed pain medication. Compression garment worn continuously, limited arm movements, no heavy lifting, and most patients return to desk work within 5-7 days with visible improvement already apparent.

Progressive Healing (2-6 Weeks)

Gradual reduction in swelling and bruising, transition to wearing compression garment during daytime only, progressive return to light exercise and normal activities. Most residual swelling subsides, and chest contour continues to refine with tissue settling.

Complete Resolution (3-6 Months)

Final aesthetic results become fully apparent as all residual swelling resolves and tissues completely settle into their new contour. Scars fade and mature, full return to all activities including strenuous exercise and weightlifting, with stable long-term outcomes.

Outcomes

Success & outcomes.

Flatter, More Masculine Chest Contour

Significant reduction in breast prominence creating a firmer, more defined masculine chest appearance that remains proportionate to the patient's body build and allows comfortable clothing choices without self-consciousness.

Improved Self-Confidence and Quality of Life

Enhanced psychological well-being with elimination of social anxiety related to chest appearance, increased willingness to participate in activities requiring removal of shirt, and improved body image leading to better overall quality of life.

Minimal Scarring with Natural Appearance

Strategically placed incisions along the areolar border or in natural skin creases result in barely visible scars that fade significantly over time, ensuring natural-looking results without obvious signs of surgical intervention.

Long-Term Stable Results

Permanent removal of excess glandular tissue provides lasting correction with minimal risk of recurrence when weight is maintained and causative factors are avoided, offering patients enduring satisfaction with their surgical outcomes.

What happens if Gynecomastia is left untreated?

Untreated gynecomastia can lead to persistent psychological distress, including depression, social anxiety, and diminished self-esteem affecting personal and professional relationships. While the condition itself is not medically dangerous in most cases, it rarely resolves spontaneously in adults and may worsen with weight gain or aging, perpetuating emotional distress and limiting quality of life.

When should you see a doctor?

Consult Dr P Prakash if you experience noticeable breast enlargement that persists beyond three months, causes significant psychological distress, or is accompanied by pain, nipple discharge, or skin changes. Immediate evaluation is warranted if breast enlargement develops rapidly, occurs only on one side with a firm mass, or is associated with testicular lumps or systemic symptoms, as these may indicate underlying medical conditions requiring urgent attention.
