ANSWER Gynecomastia

Gynecomastia is enlargement of male glandular tissue that gives the chest a feminine protrusion. It divides into fatty, glandular, and mixed types, each treated differently. ANSWER Plastic Surgery maps the glandular tissue with ultrasound, then combines liposuction and gland excision appropriately for a flat, smooth chest line.

When Gynecomastia is needed

If any of the following apply to you, we recommend a specialist consultation.

CASE 01

A protruding chest

Chest protrusion shows through t-shirts and affects how you dress

CASE 02

A palpable lump

A firm glandular lump under the nipple can be felt, sometimes with pain

CASE 03

Unchanged by exercise

Weight loss and training have not reduced the protrusion

CASE 04

One-sided protrusion

Only one side developed, creating asymmetry

CASE 05

A constrained daily life

You avoid pools and gyms where the chest might show

CUSTOM DESIGN

Type diagnosis decides the method

Gynecomastia divides into fat-dominant, gland-dominant, and mixed types. ANSWER Plastic Surgery diagnoses the glandular extent and fat ratio by palpation and ultrasound, planning liposuction alone or combined gland excision to match your type.

  • 1Fatty, glandular, and mixed types diagnosed by palpation and ultrasound
  • 2Liposuction and gland excision combined per type
  • 3Hormonal and other causes screened when indicated

ANSWER POINT

Areolar-border incision, finished lines

Gland excision proceeds through a small incision at the areolar border so the scar hides along the edge, while surrounding fat is suctioned so the treated area never looks sunken. Preserving the right amount of tissue to prevent a crater deformity under the nipple matters too.

  • 1Minimal areolar-border incision limits scar exposure
  • 2Gland excision with surrounding liposuction refines the line
  • 3Adequate tissue preserved to prevent crater deformity

ANSWER Gynecomastia: How It's Done

1

Palpation and ultrasound establish glandular extent, fat ratio, and asymmetry.

2

Surgical Design

Suction and excision scope plus incision sites are planned for your type.

Surgery

Liposuction refines the line, with glandular excision through the areolar incision when needed.

4

Compression & Recovery Care

Compression garments are fitted and swelling and the chest line checked regularly.

Frequently Asked Questions

QCan it come back after surgery?

With the glandular tissue properly removed, regrowth in the same area is considered unlikely, but rapid weight gain or hormonal factors can add fat again. We can arrange relevant tests if a cause is suspected.

QWill the scar be noticeable?

The incision is small and follows the areolar border, typically becoming inconspicuous with time. Liposuction entry points are planned at just a few millimeters as well.

QWhen can I exercise again?

Light daily activity returns within days; chest-loading exercise usually resumes in stages after 2–4 weeks. Compression-garment duration and timing are advised by your individual progress.
