Gynecomastia Surgery in Mumbai
Get a Masculine Chest with the Best Gynecomastia Surgery in Mumbai performed by Dr. Parag Telang at Designer Bodyz.
Gynecomastia is a benign condition in which the breasts of adolescent boys or older men enlarge due to uneven tissue growth. It is a common male breast disorder, affecting about 20–25% of males across different age groups worldwide. The condition can present in different ways. Some men notice a small, button-like swelling beneath the nipple, while others may develop more prominent breast tissue. In certain cases, a lump can be felt inside the breast that may be tender and shift slightly when pressed. Gynecomastia may affect one or both breasts and, in some patients, may be associated with nipple discharge, itching, or mild discomfort.
Gynecomastia occurs due to an excess of glandular breast tissue, most often caused by hormonal fluctuations between estrogen and testosterone. This form is known as true (glandular) gynecomastia. Another type, called pseudo gynecomastia, results not from glandular growth but from the buildup of fat cells in the chest, usually related to weight gain. In such cases, weight loss may help reduce the appearance of breast enlargement.
Gynecomastia is not a serious issue but creates an inferiority complex. They may complain of pain in their breasts and feel ashamed of their looks. At Designer Bodyz in Mumbai, Dr. Parag Telang offers surgical correction of gynecomastia. The procedure involves removing excess glandular tissue and, if necessary, excess fat to achieve a flatter and more defined chest contour. Surgery provides a long-term solution for men who are unable to resolve the condition through lifestyle changes alone.
Causes Of Gynecomastia
Common possible reasons behind the occurrence of gynecomastia include:
- Hormonal Imbalance – An imbalance between testosterone and estrogen can trigger breast tissue growth in men. This can occur during puberty, in newborn boys due to maternal estrogen, or in adults experiencing hormone fluctuations.
- Obesity – Excess body fat increases estrogen levels and can enlarge breast tissue, sometimes mimicking gynecomastia.
- Aging – Older men often experience reduced testosterone and increased body fat, contributing to male breast enlargement.
- Medications – Certain drugs, including steroids, anti-androgens, antidepressants, and heart or anti-ulcer medications, may lead to gynecomastia.
- Medical Conditions – Disorders such as liver disease, kidney failure, thyroid issues, testicular or lung tumors, and adrenal/pituitary gland problems can affect hormone balance and result in gynecomastia.
- Lifestyle Factors – Heavy alcohol consumption, use of anabolic steroids, or recreational drugs like cannabis can contribute to the condition.
- Genetic Factors – Rare genetic disorders like Klinefelter Syndrome, or a family history of gynecomastia, can increase susceptibility.
Understanding the underlying cause is important for effective treatment and long-lasting results.

Diagnosis Of Gynecomastia
Parag Telang, gynecomastia surgeon in Mumbai first assesses the symptoms of the patient, conducts a physical examination, and reviews his medical and family history. A routine blood test may be asked to check for hormone levels. To confirm gynaecomastia and rule out breast cancer that causes breast lumps, the healthcare provider may even order the patient to get:
- Breast ultrasound to get detailed high-resolution images of the inside of the breasts to spot breast growths and their size.
- Mammogram to examine breasts for any abnormal growths or unusual changes in the breast tissues.
How is gynecomastia treated?
Gynecomastia condition can usually get better on its own without treatment but it may take about 6 months to about 2-3 years. If any medication is causing a temporary gynecomastia condition, then it's intake must be stopped and if the breasts are enlarged because of any underlying health issue, then it must be diagnosed and treated accordingly. In some patients, hormone therapy can work. However, if all the above-mentioned treatment options fail to work or are not the right choice for the patient and enlarged breasts are significant and bothersome then gynecomastia or male breast reduction surgery in Mumbai is advised by Dr. Parag Telang.
This surgery aims to make the chest appear flat & masculine. The two surgical approaches which can be either performed alone or in combination to treat gynecomastia include:
- Liposuction technique: In this surgery, the surgeon gets rid of the excess fat cells from the breasts. The procedure involves making an incision to insert a cannula which is further moved back and forth to dislodge the fat cells. The broken fat deposits are then removed using vacuum suction.
- Excision technique: This option is chosen for the removal of the enlarged male breast glandular tissue. It is performed by making small cuts in the breast area to excise the excess breast tissues. Excision is also necessary to restore natural male breast contour by reduction of areolae or repositioning the nipples.
