A Complete Beginner's Guide to Gynecomastia in Islamabad

Patients should avoid buying hormone-related medicines online or using them without supervision. Incorrect treatment can cause side effects and may delay the correct diagnosis.

Gynecomastia Surgery

Surgery may be considered when enlarged tissue remains despite observation or when the condition significantly affects the patient’s comfort and confidence.

The procedure is commonly called male chest reduction surgery. Its purpose is to remove excess glandular tissue, fat, or loose skin and create a flatter chest shape.

How Gynecomastia Surgery Is Performed

The surgical method depends on the amount of gland, fat, and loose skin present.

Liposuction may be used when excess fat is a major part of the chest enlargement. Small openings are made, and a thin tube is used to remove unwanted fat.

Gland excision may be needed when firm glandular tissue is present. The surgeon usually places the cut near the edge of the areola so the scar can blend with the natural colour change of the skin.

Some patients require both liposuction and gland removal. Patients with severe enlargement or loose skin may need additional skin removal.

The exact plan should be explained during the consultation. Patients should understand where the cuts may be placed, what type of anaesthesia may be used, and what result is realistically possible.

Who May Be a Suitable Candidate?

A suitable candidate is usually in good general health, has stable chest enlargement, and understands that surgery has both benefits and risks.
