About this procedure
Gynecomastia — the enlargement of male breast tissue — is far more common than many realise, affecting up to 40% of men at some point in their lives. Dr. Sinnet Roy offers effective, discreet surgical correction with a flattened, masculine chest contour and minimal scarring.
Gynecomastia can result from hormonal imbalance, medication side effects, anabolic steroid use or simply genetic predisposition. Despite being common, it causes significant psychological distress and self-consciousness for many men.
The surgery involves removal of the glandular breast tissue (through a small periareolar incision) and, where significant fat is also present, liposuction to achieve a smooth, flat result.
Grade I–II cases (mild to moderate glandular tissue) can often be addressed through a very small incision at the edge of the areola, leaving virtually no visible scar. More advanced cases may require additional skin excision.
Is this right for you?
The procedure
The procedure typically takes 1–2 hours under general anaesthesia. The glandular tissue is excised through a periareolar incision, and liposuction may be performed concurrently. A compression vest is applied immediately.
After surgery
A compression vest is worn for 4–6 weeks. Swelling and mild bruising resolve over 2–3 weeks. Most patients return to desk work within 5–7 days and resume exercise at 4–6 weeks. Results are permanent when the underlying cause is addressed.
