Gynecomastia is a common condition characterized by the enlargement of male breast tissue, oŌen referred to as "man boobs." This condition arises primarily due to hormonal imbalances, leading to the development of excess glandular tissue and sometimes fat in the chest area. While not life-threatening, gynecomastia can cause significant physical discomfort, social embarrassment, and psychological distress, including anxiety and lowered self-esteem.
Dr. Kunal Sayani, one of the top plastic surgeon in Mumbai, specializes in gynecomastia surgery that offers a permanent and effective solution to this condition. His approach focuses on restoring a flamer, firmer, and more masculine chest contour using advanced, minimally invasive techniques. Patients benefit not only from improved physical appearance but also from enhanced confidence and quality of life.
Gynecomastia Surgery Procedure
Procedure Details
- Consultation and Evaluation: Your journey begins with a thorough consultation with Dr. Kunal Sayani, where he will:
- Assess your medical history and current health status.
- Evaluate the extent of breast tissue enlargement.
- Discuss your aesthetic goals and expectations.
- Determine the most suitable surgical approach.
- Surgical Techniques: Depending on the severity of gynecomastia and individual patient factors, Dr. Sayani may employ one or both of the following techniques:
- Liposuction: Ideal for cases with excess fatty tissue and good skin elasticity. Small incisions are made, and a cannula is used to suction out fat deposits.
- Excision: Necessary when glandular breast tissue or excess skin must be removed. Incisions are strategically placed to minimize visible scarring.
In some cases, a combination of liposuction and excision is utilized to achieve optimal results. Gynecomastia surgery performed by Dr. Kunal Sayani typically involves the following steps:
- Anesthesia: The procedure is usually done under general anesthesia or intravenous sedation to ensure patient comfort.
- Incision and Access: Small incisions are made in inconspicuous areas such as around the areola or in the natural creases of the chest to minimize visible scarring.
- Tissue Removal: Excess glandular breast tissue and fat are carefully excised. In cases where fatty tissue predominates, liposuction may be employed to contour the chest and remove excess fat effectively.
- Chest Contouring: The surgeon sculpts the chest to restore a natural, masculine appearance with a flat and toned look.
- Closure: Incisions are closed with fine sutures to promote optimal healing and minimal scarring.
The entire surgery is typically a day-care procedure, allowing patients to return home the same day. Dr. Kunal Sayani utilizes USFDA-approved, minimally invasive techniques designed to reduce pain and accelerate recovery, ensuring patients regain confidence quickly.
Recovery & Aftercare (Post-Op Instructions)
