What is Gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia is enlargement of breast tissue in men, caused by extra glandular tissue, fat or both. It can affect one or both sides and often affects confidence.
If it does not settle with time or treating the cause, surgery removes excess fat with liposuction and gland tissue through a small cut near the nipple.
Symptoms of Gynecomastia
- Enlarged or puffy chest in men
- Firm tissue under the nipple
- Tenderness in the chest
- Uneven chest on one side
- Discomfort wearing fitted clothes

Gynecomastia: frequently asked questions
What does gynecomastia surgery cost?
Cost depends on the city, hospital category, room type, surgical technique, tests needed and your insurance cover. Your TaCa Dost shares a clear estimate after the surgeon’s consultation, and EMI options are available.
Is gynecomastia surgery covered by insurance?
Procedures done for cosmetic reasons are usually not covered by insurance. Your TaCa Dost can check your policy and explain EMI options that may help spread the cost.
How long does recovery take?
Most patients return to desk work in 3-5 days. Swelling settles over a few weeks and the final shape shows over months.
Is gynecomastia surgery painful?
Anaesthesia keeps you comfortable. Soreness and tightness afterwards are common and usually settle with medicines.
Will gynecomastia come back?
Removed gland tissue usually does not regrow, but weight gain, steroids or some medicines can cause new enlargement.
When should I see a doctor?
See a doctor if chest enlargement lasts, is painful, affects one side only, or if you notice a hard lump or nipple discharge.
