Do you feel uncomfortable taking your shirt off because of a puffy chest? Are you tired of hiding your body because your chest looks swollen or soft?
If yes, you are not alone. Many boys and men suffer from a condition called gynecomastia.
In this blog, Dr. Anmol Chugh, a top cosmetic surgeon in India, answers the 10 most common questions about gynecomastia. He also explains how scarless gynecomastia surgery can help you feel confident again.
✅ What is Gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia is when a man’s chest looks puffy or swollen because of extra breast tissue. It is not just fat. It happens because of changes in hormones or other reasons. It can affect one or both sides of the chest.
Now, let’s answer the top questions men often ask about gynecomastia.
❓ 1. Why do men get gynecomastia?
There are many reasons why men get gynecomastia:
- Hormonal imbalance (low testosterone, high estrogen)
- Puberty (common in teenage boys)
- Weight gain
- Use of steroids or bodybuilding supplements
- Certain medicines (for heart, depression, or ulcers)
- Liver or kidney disease
- Genetic factors
Sometimes, the cause is unknown.
Dr. Anmol Chugh says that understanding the cause is important. It helps plan the best treatment.
❓ 2. Is gynecomastia dangerous?
No, gynecomastia is not dangerous. It is not cancer. But it can cause:
- Embarrassment
- Shame
- Low self-confidence
- Social anxiety
Many men feel shy about going shirtless or wearing tight clothes. That’s why Dr. Anmol Chugh offers scarless gynecomastia surgery—to help men look and feel better.
❓ 3. How do I know if I have gynecomastia or just chest fat?
Here’s how to tell the difference:
| Feature | Gynecomastia | Chest Fat (Pseudogynecomastia) |
| Feels like a rubbery lump | ✅ Yes | ❌ No |
| Located under the nipple | ✅ Yes | ❌ No (spread out across chest) |
| Pain or tenderness | ✅ Sometimes | ❌ Rare |
| Happens in slim people | ✅ Yes | ❌ Mostly in overweight people |
Dr. Anmol Chugh can do a simple test or scan to confirm if it is true gynecomastia or just fat.
❓ 4. Can gynecomastia go away on its own?
Sometimes, yes. Especially in teenage boys, it may go away after puberty. But in many adults, it stays for life unless treated.
If it has been present for more than 1–2 years, it is unlikely to disappear on its own. At this point, scarless gynecomastia surgery is the most effective option.
❓ 5. Can exercise fix gynecomastia?
Exercise and diet can reduce fat, but they can’t remove gland tissue. Even if you lose weight or build muscle, the puffy nipples or swollen chest will still be there if you have glandular gynecomastia.
Many of Dr. Anmol Chugh’s patients are fit and active—but still need surgery to remove the gland and reshape the chest.
“You can’t out-train a gland,” says Dr. Anmol Chugh.
❓ 6. What is scarless gynecomastia surgery?
Scarless gynecomastia surgery is a safe and modern procedure that removes fat and gland tissue without leaving visible scars.
Dr. Anmol Chugh uses small cuts on the side of the chest (not on the nipple). He performs power-assisted liposuction and gland removal to:
- Flatten the chest
- Improve chest shape
- Hide any scars in natural folds
Most patients return to work in 3–5 days and resume gym workouts in 2–3 weeks.
❓ 7. Is scarless gynecomastia surgery painful?
Not really. The surgery is done under local or general anesthesia, so you feel no pain during the procedure.
After surgery, you may feel mild:
- Soreness
- Swelling
- Tightness
But these go away in a few days. Most men describe it as “less painful than expected.”
Dr. Anmol Chugh gives painkillers and care tips to make recovery smooth and comfortable.
❓ 8. Will the results of surgery last forever?
Yes! Gynecomastia surgery is permanent—as long as you avoid:
- Steroids
- Hormone medications
- Gaining too much weight
- Certain medical conditions
Once the gland tissue is removed, it doesn’t come back.
That’s why Dr. Anmol Chugh always removes both fat and gland. He makes sure the chest stays flat for life.
❓ 9. Are there any risks with gynecomastia surgery?
All surgeries have small risks, like:
- Swelling
- Bruising
- Temporary numbness
- Infection (rare)
But with a skilled surgeon like Dr. Anmol Chugh, the chances of problems are very low. He uses advanced tools and techniques to ensure safety and great results.
Thousands of patients have had smooth recoveries with him.
❓ 10. How much does gynecomastia surgery cost in India?
The cost of gynecomastia surgery in India depends on:
- The grade (size) of the condition
- Whether fat or gland or both need removal
- Type of anesthesia used
- Experience of the surgeon
On average, it can cost between ₹60,000 to ₹1,50,000.
Dr. Anmol Chugh offers affordable scarless gynecomastia surgery with world-class care and high success rates. He also provides EMI options for easy payment.
