GYNECOMASTIA. 
Treatment in Patiala.

Gynecomastia is a common condition in men where the breast tissue becomes enlarged, giving a feminine chest appearance. It can affect one or both sides of the chest and may cause discomfort, self-consciousness, and difficulty wearing fitted clothing

Gynecomastia can develop due to:
Hormonal imbalance (increased estrogen / reduced testosterone)
Obesity and weight gain
Puberty-related changes
Medications (steroids, anti-androgens, etc.)
Alcohol & drug use (marijuana, anabolic steroids)
Liver, thyroid, or adrenal disorders
Genetics
In many cases, the exact cause may not be known.

✔ Men with enlarged chest despite exercise
✔ Those experiencing pain, tenderness, or embarrassment
✔ Stable weight and good health
✔ Non-smokers or willing to stop smoking temporarily
✔ Realistic expectations regarding results

Surgery is the most effective treatment when swelling does not reduce on its own.
Depending on the grade of gynecomastia:
1️⃣ Liposuction – Removes excess fat
2️⃣ Gland Excision – Removes firm gland tissue
3️⃣ Combination Surgery – Most common and ensures a flat, masculine chest
Small, hidden incisions are usually placed around the edge of the areola.
Anaesthesia & Duration
Performed under local with sedation or general anaesthesia
60–120 minutes total surgical time
Day-care procedure – go home the same day
Recovery & Aftercare
Compression garment for 4–6 weeks
Back to desk work in 3–4 days
Gym & heavy exercise after 4–6 weeks
Minimal, nearly invisible scars over time
Most patients see immediate improvement with final results in 3–6 months.
