Did you notice an enlargement of your breast? It can be gynecomastia. Although moobs or man boobs are frequent among men, it may sometimes frustrate them. However, you can now reverse your moobs that once hindered your confidence with surgical intervention. At Dr. Soni’s Plastic surgery and hair transplant center, we specialize in male breast reduction surgery. We are one of the leading clinics for gynecomastia treatment in Haryana.
What causes gynecomastia?
During puberty, many boys develop fat tissue around their breasts. Typically these adipose or fat deposits around the breast subside within a few years, but for a few men, it persists. The common causes include:[1]
- Imbalance of estrogen and testosterone hormone
- Usage of certain prescription drugs
- Consumption of restricted drugs like Marijuana.
- Kidney and liver ailments
- Advanced age
- Lack of physical activity or sedentary lifestyle.
- Malnourishment
- Hyperthyroidism
- Type1 diabetes
What are the different grades of gynecomastia?
Male breast outgrowth can be divided into four grades which include: [2]
- Grade 1: This grade is marked by the appearance of puffy nipples.
- Grade 2: During this grade, there is an accumulation of fat along with puffy nipples.
- Grade3: In this stage, one can see excess skin around the nipples, puffiness, and fat accumulation around the breast.
- Grade4: Appearance of the female-like breast.
Based on the grades, your doctor can suggest you the best treatment for gynecomastia.
What are the different treatments for gynecomastia?
While many people think this condition can be reversed by medication, gynecomastia treatment without surgery is not possible, especially in advanced grades. Although there has been a lot of research to find a medicine that can reverse male breast outgrowth, none of the medications can achieve long-lasting results. The non-surgical approach can only help you achieve partial regression and symptomatic relief. [3]
Surgical intervention is the only retort to reverse male breast outgrowth. Doctors advise gynecomastia surgery for men under psychological stress because of the abnormal outgrowth or for those who have been experiencing discomfort. At Dr. Soni’s Plastic Surgery and Hair Transplant Center, we aim to help you eliminate moobs using our minimally invasive vaser treatment, which requires an incision of less than 1 cm.
How can you prepare yourself for gynecomastia surgery?
Male breast outgrowth is a graded condition characterized by enlargement of breasts in men. A significant proportion of men who have developed gynecomastia require surgery for its correction. But have you wondered about the pre-procedure protocol and what happens during the procedure?
Before the procedure, the plastic surgeon evaluates your history and your family’s history of breast cancer and other associated symptoms. An initial evaluation by the doctor is crucial to rule out any malignancy or cancer.
After ruling out the possibility of malignancy, our team of qualified doctors may suggest you undergo our advanced minimally invasive vaser technique. The high-definition vaser technique corrects male breast outgrowth by using ultrasonographic waves to liquefy the fatty tissues. The liquefied fatty tissues are later aspirated out of the body. In addition, we perform gynecomastia surgery under anesthesia to minimize any discomfort that may be felt during the process.
We usually suggest our patients eat a heavy protein-rich meal before undergoing the treatment for gynecomastia.
How soon can you see the result of male breast reduction surgery?
Our minimally invasive male breast reduction surgery utilizes the best gynecomastia treatment procedures to manage your condition. Generally, there is a visible reduction in the chest shape soon after the procedure. However, you need to wait two weeks to two months to witness the best gynecomastia treatment results.
After the procedure, our doctors may recommend you wear loose-fitted post-operative garments to aid faster recovery after the procedure. Post-procedure, our doctors will monitor you for a day at our center before discharging you. Moreover, our doctors may request you to visit our center post-procedure to monitor your progress carefully through your recovery journey.
When can you resume work after gynecomastia treatment?
Healing is a progressive process, and the recovery time varies for every patient depending on the type of activity you intend to resume. Although we make a small incision while using our minimally invasive vaser technique, a large wound remains concealed under the skin. Therefore to ensure proper healing, adequate rest is advisable.
Ordinarily, you can resume office work within 1-2 days after the vaser procedure. While you can resume light exercises after two weeks, you must avoid strenuous exercise for at least a month after the treatment.
Why should you opt for our minimally invasive gynecomastia surgery over traditional gynecomastia surgery?
At Dr. Soni’s Plastic Surgery and Hair Transplant Center, we use cutting-edge minimally-invasive technology for gynecomastia surgery. The latest vaser technique has a high success rate with minimal recovery time. The other benefits of our minimally-invasive vaser/laser technique are:
- Painless procedure
- Almost scarless
- Small incision size- about 1 cm
- No blood loss
- Uniform skin-tightening post-procedure.
Once you undergo surgery for gynecomastia, rest assured of its recurrence because your surgeon will remove the glands during the treatment.

What are the risks associated with male breast reduction surgery?
Almost all cosmetic surgery carries some risk and uncertainty. But you can reduce your risk of developing any complications associated with male breast reduction surgery by choosing a qualified and experienced doctor. At Dr. Soni’s Plastic Surgery and Hair Transplant Center, we have a team of highly skilled and experienced doctors who ensure infrequent complications. However, based on different body reactions and healing ability we can never completely predict the outcome.
Although, rare the complications can include:
- Scarring at the site of the surgical incision

- Dimpling around the area treated
- Numbness and swelling at the area treated
