Suggest Treatment For Gynecomastia
Question: I am affected with gynecomastia, what are the different ways to reduce same and take to flat chest in natural ways.
Brief Answer:
Gynecomastia
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I treat patients with gynecomastia on a regular basis. Sorry to mention, there are absolutely no natural ways to treat gynecomastia. All patients with gynecomastia require surgery. If the fatty content is large then a liposuction followed by subcutaneous mastectomy is required and if the fibrous content is large then only a subcutaneous mastectomy is required. Whatever might be the procedure, because of the presence of breast tissue, surgery is ALWAYS indicated. Weight loss or massaging or pills would not be able to cure the breast tissue that is present within.

Hi,
1. Usually when I perform this it takes 2 hours or so. I perform this exclusively under local anesthesia so that you can walk home after surgery.
2. Next day itself or you can take rest for 2-3 days.
3. I do not know anyone in XXXXXXX for that matter.
4. In my practice it costs Rs. 24000 for only surgery and Rs. 27000 if liposuction is required also.
5. No coverage under mediclaim.
6. Small cuts are required only.
Regards,
