Gynecomastia in Chandigarh
Gynecomastia is a benign condition where males develop chests that resemble female breasts, varying in size. This condition often leads to psychological distress, with many males seeking surgical solutions to regain their self-confidence. The stress from this condition can sometimes limit their daily activities, such as socializing with friends, wearing desired clothing, and participating in outdoor activities.
The popularity of gynecomastia treatment surgery is on the rise due to its availability as a minimally invasive technique. This leads to reduced downtime and results in a more contoured and firm chest appearance.
Many males who suffer from ‘man boobs’ or gynecomastia have battled with the condition for a long time before consulting a plastic surgeon. Many have been dealing with this condition since puberty and only seek medical consultation when they reach adulthood or their twenties.
Numerous causes have been identified for gynecomastia. These can include common medications, anabolic steroids, natural or synthetic estrogen hormone derivatives, herbal or growth supplements, marijuana (Ganja), alcohol abuse, chronic liver failure, renal failure, and obesity. A comprehensive medical history is taken during the consultation with the plastic surgeon to ensure the most effective results after the procedure.
Occasionally, it may be advisable for pubertal boys to wait and see if the condition regresses on its own. However, for the majority of boys and men seeking an effective solution, surgery is often the chosen path due to the tremendous benefits this minimally invasive procedure offers.
How is Male Chest Reduction done in Mohali?
Procedure
The ‘male chest reduction surgery’ involves a surgical procedure that uses liposuction and removal of excess glands to achieve a ‘flat chest’ appearance. Liposuction is performed through small keyholes, and any remaining excess chest tissue after liposuction is removed through a small incision well concealed in the areola. In cases of Grade I Gynecomastia, liposuction alone may be sufficient, and an areolar incision may not be necessary.
Length
The duration of the procedure can range from one and a half to three hours for higher grades.
Anesthesia
Either general anesthesia is used, or intravenous sedation and local anesthesia are used. Patient safety is our highest priority.
Inpatient/Outpatient
In most cases, it is an outpatient procedure. Patients return to their homes on the same day of the surgery after being observed in the clinic for a few hours post-procedure under the guidance of the concerned surgeon. If performed under local anesthesia, one may leave shortly after the procedure.
Temporary side effects such as bruising, swelling, numbness, soreness, and/or a burning sensation are possible.
Potential risks may include the development of a fluid collection under the skin (seroma), which may need to be drained with the help of a syringe.
Looseness of the skin, which does not drape back, is possible with very advanced cases, and scarring may occur if the skin needs to be removed.
Asymmetry is possible after the procedure, which is correctable if the patient is overly concerned about it.
Loss of nipple sensation may occur, which usually recovers in the long term. Rarely, a second procedure to remove additional tissue may be required.
A compression garment is required to be worn after the procedure for about four weeks to lessen discomfort and help the skin re-drape to the chest contours. Strenuous activities need to be restricted for a few weeks after the procedure.
What are the most common reasons for seeking chest implant surgery?
Results can be enhanced with a proper diet and exercise regimen. However, significant or massive weight gain may cause the chest area to enlarge again. Visit Dr. Renu, a Gynecomastia specialist in Mohali, for desired results.

Frequently Asked Question
What is Gynaecomastia?
It is the enlargement of breast tissue in males, often caused by hormonal imbalances (estrogen/testosterone), certain medications, weight gain, alcohol or genetics.
Is gynaecomastia the same as chest fat?
No.
• Chest fat (pseudo-gynaecomastia) → excess fat only
• True gynaecomastia → firm glandular tissue with ir without fat
Accurate diagnosis is essential, as gland tissue cannot be removed by exercise or diet.
Who is an ideal candidate for gynaecomastia surgery?
You are a good candidate if:
• You have persistent chest fullness despite weight loss
• Your weight is stable
• You are healthy and non-smoker
• The condition affects your confidence or lifestyle
What technique do you use for gynaecomastia surgery?
At TATTV, we perform gynaecomastia correction using 360-degree 4Dx Liposuction Technique, a globally respected advanced body-contouring approach.
What is the 360° 4Dx Technique?
It is a comprehensive approach developed by Dr. Amit Gupta that treats the chest as a whole. The “360°” refers to addressing not just the chest or man boobs, but the surrounding areas like the axilla (underarms) and side rolls for a seamless transition. The “4Dx” stands for the Four Directional Approach, ensuring thorough fat removal from multiple angles to prevent irregularities protecting the nipple .
How does it differ from traditional liposuction?
Traditional methods often only target the front of the chest, which can leave residual fat on the sides. The 4Dx technique uses specific entry points—usually one in the axilla and one near the areola—to cross-tunnel the area, ensuring a flatter, more defined result with no “caved-in” deformity.
Why is VASER often used with this technique?
VASER (Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction) not always but when indicated, is typically the first step. It emulsifies the fat and helps with skin contraction, which is vital for patients with slight skin laxity to ensure the chest tightens naturally after tissue removal.
What kind of incisions are used?
The technique uses minimal access points—typically a 2-4 mm incision in the axilla fold (hidden in the fold) and a small incision at the 5 to 7 o’clock position on the areola.
Will gland removal be done?
Yes, if required.
Any residual firm gland tissue is precisely excised through a tiny concealed areolar incision. This ensures
• Flat chest
• Almost No recurrence
• Minimal scarring
Is the surgery painful?
The procedure is performed under local or general anesthesia depending upon the grade of Gynaecomastia. Post-operative pain is mild to moderate but easily managed with medications.
What is the recovery time?
• Resume daily activities: 3–5 days
• Light workouts: 2–3 weeks
• Heavy chest workouts: 4–6 weeks
Are Compression garment needed.?
Yes usually for4-6 weeks
Are the results permanent?
Yes. Removed fat cells and gland tissue do not come back, provided you maintain a healthy lifestyle and stable weight.
Will my chest look natural after surgery?
Absolutely. The goal of the 360-degree 4Dx technique is to create a flat, masculine, symmetrical chest, not an over-operated look.
