What is the Procedure for Gynecomastia Surgery?
ALCS Clinic offers painless and comfortable surgeries for gynecomastia in Lucknow using different techniques, depending on the breast tissue composition of the patient.
Gynecomastia surgery can be done under the effect of local anesthesia by numbing the breast area or general anesthesia by putting the patient to sleep before the procedure. The entire surgery is usually completed in one to two hours and may be done using one of the following surgical techniques:
1. Liposuction technique: The technique is used in pseudo gynecomastia cases (when there is excess fat deposit in the male breast region) and involves the following steps:
- Tiny incisions are created by the surgeon in the chest area.
- A cannula (hollow, thin tube) will now be inserted through one of the incisions made.
- The cannula will be controlled to move back and forth to loosen the excessive fat.
- The loosened fat will then be removed with the help of a vacuum suction.
- The incisions will now be closed with the help of sutures.
2. Excision technique: This technique is used in true gynecomastia (when there is excess glandular tissue in the male breast region) or when excess loose skin needs to be removed. The procedure is performed as follows:
- Large incisions will be created by the surgeon in the chest area.
- The surgeon will excise the excessive glandular tissue and loose skin through the incisions created.
- The surgeon may reposition the areola and nipple.
- The incisions are then closed with the help of sutures.
3. Combination technique: The technique is used to remove the excess fat, glandular tissue, and loose skin in the breast region and treat cases of mixed gynecomastia (excess fat and glandular tissue in the male breast region). The procedure is done as follows:
- Liposuction and excision techniques are combined in this procedure.
- Large incisions are made by the surgeon in the chest area.
- The nipple and areola may be resized and repositioned.
- The incisions are then closed with the help of sutures.

How to Prepare for Gynecomastia Surgery?
To undergo gynecomastia surgery, you must first consult a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon.
The surgeon will examine you properly, ask you about your medical history, screen you for breast cancer, and take pre-surgical photographs of your breasts with your consent.
The surgeon orders undergoing a few diagnostic tests, such as blood tests and other lab tests, to determine your general health condition, eligibility for undergoing a surgical procedure, and the possible cause behind enlarged male breasts.
The surgeon will also explain the gynecomastia surgery procedure to you along with the possible risks and potential benefits of the procedure, as well as what treatment results you can expect.
