Gynecomastia Surgery in Gurgaon
Gynecomastia is extra breast tissue in men, and exercise alone does not fix it. It can be fat, gland tissue or both, and each needs a different approach. Plastic surgeon Dr. Rahul Jain examines you, tells you exactly what you have, and plans a surgery that gives a flat, natural chest.
In short
Gynecomastia surgery at House of Aetheria, Sector 65, Gurugram, is performed by plastic surgeon Dr. Rahul Jain. Fatty chest enlargement (pseudogynecomastia) is treated with Vaser liposuction. True gynecomastia, which has firm gland tissue under the nipple, also needs the gland removed through a small incision at the edge of the areola. It is done as day-care surgery, with desk work in about 5 to 7 days and a final result at around 3 months.
Know what you have
Gynecomastia and pseudogynecomastia
There are two forms, and the difference decides the surgery.
Pseudogynecomastia (fat only)
- Caused by extra fat in the chest, often after weight gain
- Soft, with no firm disc under the nipple
- Usually treated with Vaser liposuction alone, with no cut on the areola
True gynecomastia (gland tissue)
- A firm disc of gland tissue sits under the nipple
- Liposuction cannot remove it, so it is removed directly through a small incision at the lower edge of the areola
- The fat around it is treated with liposuction in the same operation
Our guide explains how to tell the difference.
Who it suits
Who is a candidate
- Puffy nipples or a small firm lump under the nipple
- Mild to moderate enlargement with no extra skin
- Larger enlargement, where skin tightening may also be needed
- Fatty chest enlargement with no gland tissue
- Enlargement that has stayed after puberty, once hormones have settled (18 and over)
- Enlargement linked to a medicine or steroid, after it has been stopped
- Residual chest tissue after major weight loss
The surgery
How the operation works
What is done
- Your surgeon feels the tissue to separate fat from gland, and grades the condition
- Vaser ultrasound-assisted liposuction loosens and removes the fat, and helps the skin tighten
- If gland tissue is present, it is removed through a 3 to 5 mm incision along the lower edge of the areola, where the scar blends in
- Small access incisions are placed in natural folds
At a glance
The procedure in short
- Day-care surgery, so you go home the same day
- About 1.5 to 3 hours, depending on the grade
- Local anaesthesia with sedation, or general anaesthesia, as advised
- Desk work in about 5 to 7 days, and no strenuous activity for around 3 weeks
- Compression vest for 4 to 6 weeks
- Final contour at about 3 months
Your journey
From consultation to recovery
Consultation
Dr. Rahul Jain examines the tissue, grades it, checks your skin and asks about medicines and hormones.
Planning
You get a surgical plan, with blood tests and a health check first. A hormone check is added if it is needed.
Surgery day
Fat is removed and, if needed, the gland is excised. You go home the same day in a compression vest.
Recovery
Follow-up visits at 1 week, 1 month and 3 months. Swelling settles gradually, and most of the change shows by 4 to 6 weeks.
Straight talk
What surgery can and cannot do
- It can permanently flatten an enlarged chest, as the removed tissue does not regrow
- It can give a natural, masculine contour, with a small scar that usually fades well
- It is best done once the cause is addressed. If a hormonal issue or steroid use is still active, it can come back
- It does not add muscle definition. Training after recovery builds that
- Very large enlargement with loose skin may need extra skin tightening, which we plan at your consultation

Straight answers about gynecomastia surgery, from our Sector 65 clinic in Gurugram.
The cost depends on the grade, whether gland tissue needs removing and the anaesthesia. Dr. Rahul Jain gives you a clear plan and cost at your consultation, after he examines you.
Yes. Removed fat and gland tissue do not grow back. Recurrence is uncommon when the cause, such as a medicine, steroid or hormone problem, has been dealt with first.
Most people are back at desk work in about 5 to 7 days. You wear a compression vest for 4 to 6 weeks, avoid strenuous activity for around 3 weeks, and see the final contour at about 3 months. See the week-by-week recovery guide.
Pseudogynecomastia is extra fat only, and liposuction can treat it. True gynecomastia has firm gland tissue that has to be removed through a small incision at the edge of the areola.
It is uncommon. It can return if hormones or medicines that caused it are still active, or with major weight gain. Your surgeon will check for causes first.
You feel nothing during surgery. Afterwards most people have soreness and tightness for a week or two, which is managed with simple pain relief and the compression vest.
Light walking is fine early on. Avoid strenuous and chest exercise for around 3 weeks, and return to full training as your surgeon advises.
Yes, for some people. The abdomen or flanks can sometimes be done in the same session. Your surgeon will tell you what is safe to combine.
