Gynecomastia Surgery in Mumbai

In Mumbai, where how one looks is in some way linked to one’s level of confidence, gynecomastia is something that extends far beyond the admissions and discussions that are held. The long working hours and the ever-changing lifestyles and the levels of stress and the hormonal imbalances and even the factors of genetics have all led to men seeking gynecomastia treatment in the city.

What makes the difference for many isn’t that there is treatment out there now; it’s in the attitude surrounding the disease. Under the guidance of Dr. Parag Telang, one of the most respected plastic surgeons specializing in Mumbai’s cosmetic and reconstructive surgeons, mastectomy corrections have recently turned from just simplifying the breast area into becoming more about regaining one’s natural definition of maleness.

What Is Gynecomastia?

Gynecomastia is a medical condition characterized by the enlargement of male breast tissue, caused by an imbalance between estrogen and testosterone. Unlike chest fat that can reduce with exercise, gynecomastia involves glandular tissue, which does not respond to workouts or diet alone.

This condition can affect men at any age—from teenagers to older adults—and often persists silently, impacting posture, clothing choices, and self-esteem.

What Does Gynecomastia Look and Feel Like?

Gynecomastia can present differently from person to person. Visually, it may appear as:

Puffy or protruding nipple
A rounded or sagging chest contours
Chest asymmetry

Physically, it may feel:

Firm or rubbery under the nipple area
Tender or sensitive to touch
Uncomfortable during physical activity

Emotionally, many men report embarrassment, social withdrawal, and avoidance of fitted clothing or swimming—effects that are often underestimated.

What Causes Gynecomastia?

Gynecomastia is rarely caused by a single factor. Common causes include:

Hormonal imbalance (estrogen dominance or low testosterone)
Weight fluctuations, leading to fat and gland enlargement
Puberty-related changes
Medications (steroids, antidepressants, heart or ulcer medications)
Alcohol or substance use
Underlying medical conditions such as liver or thyroid disorders

A thorough evaluation is essential to identify the dominant cause before planning treatment.

Signs and Symptoms of Gynecomastia

Enlargement of one or both breasts
Puffy or stretched nipple-areola complex
Firm tissue beneath the nipple
Chest tenderness or sensitivity
Psychological distress or self-consciousness

Early diagnosis helps determine whether surgical or non-surgical management is appropriate.

Stages and Severity of Gynecomastia

Grade I: Mild enlargement without excess skin
Grade II: Moderate enlargement with minimal skin laxity
Grade III: Significant enlargement with noticeable sagging
Grade IV: Severe enlargement with excess skin resembling female breasts

Each stage requires a customized surgical approach rather than a one-size-fits-all solution.

Gynecomastia Treatment Options

Non-Surgical Management

In very early or hormone-related cases, medical management or lifestyle changes may be advised. However, glandular tissue rarely regresses completely without surgery.

Surgical Treatment (Gold Standard)

Surgery remains the most definitive and permanent solution. Depending on the tissue composition, Dr. Parag Telang may recommend:

Liposuction to remove excess fatty tissue
Gland excision to remove firm breast tissue
Skin tightening or repositioning in advanced cases

The goal is a flat, masculine chest with minimal scarring and long-term stability.

Gynecomastia Surgery Cost in Mumbai

The cost of gynecomastia surgery in Mumbai can vary depending on the complexity of the condition and the surgical approach required. At Dr. Parag Telang’s practice, the focus is on safe, customized treatment rather than fixed, one-size-fits-all pricing.

Estimated Cost Range of Gynecomastia Surgery

Gynecomastia surgery typically ranges from: ₹85,000 to ₹2,50,000

This range reflects differences in severity, surgical technique, and individual anatomy. A precise cost can only be determined after a detailed clinical evaluation.

Factors That Decide the Cost of Gynecomastia Surgery

Several important factors influence the final cost of treatment:

1. Grade and Severity of Gynecomastia

Mild cases may require only liposuction, while advanced grades need gland excision and sometimes skin tightening—each adding to surgical complexity.

2. Type of Surgical Technique Used

Liposuction alone
Gland excision
Combination procedures

More advanced techniques naturally involve higher surgical time and expertise.

3. Unilateral vs Bilateral Surgery

Correcting one side versus both sides affects operative planning and cost.

4. Anesthesia and Operating Facility

Use of a fully equipped surgical facility with qualified anesthetists ensures safety but also contributes to overall cost.

5. Surgeon’s Expertise and Experience

Highly experienced surgeons like Dr. Parag Telang offer refined results, reduced complications, and better long-term outcomes—factors that are reflected in professional fees.

6. Post-Surgical Care and Follow-Ups

Compression garments, medications, and follow-up visits are often included and vary based on individual recovery needs.

Proper preparation and guided recovery are key to optimal results.
