The results of gynecomastia surgery are permanent, as long as you maintain a healthy weight. The removed glandular tissue won't grow back, giving you a lasting solution to the problem.
What is Gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia is a condition that causes the enlargement of male breast tissue. It can affect one or both breasts. The main cause is often a hormonal imbalance, where there is an increase in estrogen compared to testosterone. However, it can also be caused by certain medications, genetics, or underlying health issues.
It’s important to understand the difference between true gynecomastia and “pseudogynecomastia.”
How Our Gynecomastia Surgery Works
Personalised Consultation and Evaluation
The journey begins with a private and confidential consultation with Dr. Sanket Shetty. He will listen to your concerns, examine your chest, and discuss your goals. He'll take the time to understand your medical history and lifestyle to determine if you are a good candidate for the surgery. This is also your chance to ask any questions you may have.
Safe and Precise Surgical Procedure
The surgery itself is a straightforward process. It is performed under anesthesia to ensure you are completely comfortable. The procedure involves a combination of liposuction and gland removal. Liposuction: A small tube called a cannula is used to suction out the excess fatty tissue. Gland Excision: A very small incision is made, usually around the areola (the colored area around the nipple), to carefully remove the firm glandular tissue.
Smooth and Guided Recovery Proce
After the surgery, you will be given a compression garment to wear. This helps reduce swelling and supports your new chest shape. We will give you clear instructions on how to care for yourself at home. Our team is always available to answer any questions you have during your recovery.
Long-Lasting and Confident Results
Once the swelling goes down, you will be able to see the final results. The new, masculine contour of your chest will be permanent, as long as you maintain a stable weight. You'll be able to enjoy your new look and renewed confidence for years to come.

🗹 You can usually return to work or school in 3-5 days, depending on the nature of your job.
🗹 Light, everyday activities are fine, but you should avoid heavy lifting and strenuous exercise for about 3-4 weeks.
Medication and Aftercare Routine
To manage any discomfort, we will prescribe pain medication. You will also need to wear a special compression garment for a few weeks. This garment is essential for reducing swelling and helping your skin conform to your new chest contour. We'll also give you instructions on how to care for your incisions to prevent infection.
Post-Op Symptoms to Expect
It's normal to experience some swelling, bruising, and a tight feeling in your chest after the surgery. These symptoms are temporary and will gradually fade. You might also feel some numbness in the area, which is also normal and will go away over time.
Timeline for Visible Results

What Our Clients Say
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cost of gynecomastia surgery in Mumbai?
The cost varies depending on the specific case, such as the grade of gynecomastia and the techniques used. During your consultation, we will provide you with a detailed and transparent cost estimate, so there are no surprises.
Is gynecomastia surgery painful?
The surgery itself is not painful because you will be under anesthesia. Afterward, you may feel some discomfort, but this can be managed with the prescribed pain medication. Most patients describe it as a soreness, similar to a hard workout.
How long does the surgery take?
The procedure typically takes about 1 to 2 hours. The exact time depends on the amount of fat and tissue that needs to be removed.
When can I go back to exercising?
You can start with light walking soon after the surgery. However, you should avoid heavy lifting, strenuous cardio, and chest exercises for at least 3-4 weeks. It's important to follow Dr. Shetty's specific instructions to ensure proper healing.
Are the results permanent?
Yes, the results are permanent, as the glandular tissue that is removed will not grow back. To maintain the best results, it's a good idea to maintain a healthy weight, as significant weight gain can cause new fat deposits to form in the chest.
Can I have gynecomastia surgery if I'm a teenager?
A: While gynecomastia is common during puberty, we generally recommend waiting until the condition has stabilized. Dr. Shetty will evaluate each case individually to determine if surgery is the right option for a younger patient.
What if I have gynecomastia on only one side?
It's quite common for gynecomastia to affect one breast more than the other, or for it to be present on only one side. The surgery can be tailored to correct this asymmetry, giving you a balanced and natural-looking chest.
