In most cases, gynecomastia surgery is classified as cosmetic and is not covered by
insurance. However, if the condition is linked to an underlying medical issue (such as a
hormonal disorder), some insurers may offer partial coverage. We recommend checking
directly with your insurance provider before the procedure.
The procedure usually takes 1 to 2 hours, depending on the grade of gynecomastia and
the technique used. Most patients go home the same day.
Most patients return to light activity within a week and resume normal exercise within 4–
6 weeks. A compression garment is typically worn for 2–4 weeks to support healing and
reduce swelling. Full final results are usually visible within 2–6 months, depending on
the grade of gynecomastia.
Yes. Once excess glandular tissue and fat are surgically removed, gynecomastia does
not return in that area. However, significant weight gain, steroid use, or hormonal
imbalances in the future can potentially cause new tissue growth.
As with any surgery, risks can include swelling, bruising, minor scarring, fluid
accumulation (seroma), or temporary numbness. Serious complications are rare when
the procedure is performed by an experienced, board-certified surgeon. Dr Hardik Patel
will discuss your individual risk profile during consultation.
Modern techniques, including liposuction method,
use small, strategically placed incisions that are designed to be minimally visible.
Scarring varies by individual and by the surgical technique used.
For fat-dominant (pseudo-gynecomastia) cases, liposuction alone is often sufficient.
For cases involving firm glandular tissue, surgical excision is typically also needed. Your
surgeon will determine the right approach based on your specific grade and tissue
composition during a physical evaluation.
Our consultation fee is ₹ 800, which is adjusted
against your final surgery cost if you proceed.
