How is the Gynecomastia Surgery Performed?
Plastic surgeons typically recommend gynecomastia surgery after puberty, around 18 years old, to allow body development and potential resolution, or before 18 if an underlying medical condition or medication is present. Preparing for gynecomastia surgery involves lab testing, medical evaluation, medication adjustments, smoking cessation, and avoiding aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs, and herbal supplements to reduce bleeding.Â
During surgical procedures, medications like intravenous sedation and general anaesthesia are administered for comfort. In cases of excess fatty tissue, liposuction techniques may be used, involving a cannula inserted through incisions. Excision techniques are recommended for glandular breast tissue removal, areola reduction, or nipple repositioning. Incision patterns vary based on specific conditions and surgical preference. The procedure might last around 1 to 2 hours.Â
Benefits of Gynecomastia Surgery

- Improves the patient’s well-being.Â
- Improves overall mental health.Â
- Corrects underlying hormonal imbalance at an early age.Â
- Reduces the feeling of anxiety and discomfort.Â
- Precision and comfort.Â
- Laser liposuction and Microaire Power-Assisted liposuction methods are used, making the surgery quick.Â
- Swift recovery with minimal downtime.
Post-Surgical Care and Recovery Phase
- Avoid smoking and blood-thinning medications.Â
- The surgeon places a thin tube under the skin to drain fluid and blood during healing, which collects at the bottom in a receptacle or bulb.Â
- Recovery typically lasts for 2–3 weeks.Â
- Patients are advised to take proper rest and prescribed medication.Â
- Avoid strenuous activity.Â
- Wear compression garments 24x7 for a week to provide support to the chest muscles and reduce swelling. Then, slowly reduce the time for wearing the compression garment to 12 hours a day by the end of the 2nd week.Â
- Apply scar reduction cream to reduce its appearance.Â

Frequently Asked Questions About Gynecomastia Surgery
How do I get rid of gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia usually resolves itself. If medications cause it, stopping them or using different medications will eliminate gynecomastia. Also, treating the underlying condition can get rid of gynecomastia. If it persists, breast reduction surgery is advised to remove excess tissue.Â
How do I know if I have gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia is likely diagnosed when you exhibit a sagging chest, round chest, pointed pectoral ridges, or puffy nipples.Â
How to cure gynecomastia?
There is no particular medication that cures gynecomastia directly. Gynecomastia could be a result of an underlying condition or medications. Curing the underlying condition or discontinuing the medication usually cures gynecomastia. Breast reduction surgery typically permanently cures gynecomastia.Â
Can gynecomastia go away?
Gynecomastia usually subsides without medical intervention, with the breasts flattening within months to years. Some breast problems can be treated with medicine, but more serious ones that last beyond puberty may need surgery to reduce the size.Â
Is gynecomastia Common?
Gynecomastia is a common male breast disorder affecting 50–65% of boys and men globally. It resolves in newborns, adolescents, and older men due to hormonal changes during ageing. Temporary gynecomastia is common in newborns and adolescents. In men aged 50–80, it affects 24–65%. Hormonal changes from puberty can cause gynecomastia, which usually disappears untreated.Â
