What is Gynaecomastia?

Gynaecomastia is a medical procedure performed by qualified surgeons. Speak with a verified specialist on SurgeonNear to get a complete assessment of your condition and the best treatment plan.

Symptoms of Gynaecomastia

Common signs that you may need Gynaecomastia include persistent pain, discomfort, or symptoms that have not responded to non-surgical treatment. A surgeon can evaluate whether surgery is the right option for you.

How is Gynaecomastia Diagnosed?

Diagnosis typically involves a physical examination, imaging (X-ray, MRI, ultrasound), and sometimes blood tests. Your surgeon will review all reports before recommending Gynaecomastia.

Treatment Options: Non-Surgical vs Surgical

Depending on severity, doctors may first recommend non-surgical approaches such as medication or physiotherapy. If these are not effective, Gynaecomastia is advised.

How is Gynaecomastia Performed?

Gynaecomastia is typically performed under anaesthesia. The surgeon may use laparoscopic (minimally invasive) or open techniques depending on the case. The procedure usually takes 1–3 hours.

Recovery & Aftercare

Most patients return to normal activities within 2–6 weeks after Gynaecomastia. Your surgeon will provide specific aftercare instructions including diet, activity restrictions, and follow-up appointments.

Gynaecomastia Cost — What Affects the Price?

The cost of Gynaecomastia varies based on the hospital, city, surgeon experience, and whether the procedure is laparoscopic or open. SurgeonNear shows transparent pricing so you can compare before booking.
