What is Gynecomastia Surgery?

Gynecomastia is a condition characterized by the enlargement of male breast tissue due to hormonal imbalance, genetics, obesity, or medication. Gynecomastia surgery is a corrective cosmetic procedure designed to reduce this tissue, remove excess fat, and contour the chest to a more masculine appearance. It involves liposuction, excision, or a combination of both techniques.
Common Indications
- Men with enlarged breast tissue causing physical or emotional discomfort
- Individuals seeking improved chest aesthetics and contour
- Patients who haven’t responded to medical or hormonal therapies
- Males experiencing gynecomastia due to steroids or hormonal imbalances
Techniques Used
- Liposuction is used to remove localized fat deposits under the chest area
- Surgical excision is performed for dense glandular tissue or excess skin
- Combination of liposuction and excision for optimal results
- Minimally invasive techniques used to reduce scarring and downtime

Lakshaami Shetty2025-04-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dear Doctor, Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your care and kindness during such a scary time. When the slab suddenly fell on us while we were sleeping on the floor at midnight, I was terrified. But your calm words, gentle approach, and encouragement made me feel safe and hopeful. You not only treated my injuries—you healed my fear too. I will always recommend you, not just for your skill, but for the compassion you show. With deep gratitude, Dinesh Sanjeeva Shetty anita gulati2025-04-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr Bharat Saxena is an excellent doctor.

Dr. Bharat Saxena is exceptionally passionate about his work, approaching it with the dedication of someone who truly worships his profession. Meeting him changed my perspective on how compassionate and humble a doctor can be, especially in a country like India, where human life often isn’t valued as it should be. In these times, Dr. Saxena stands out, treating his patients with the utmost respect, care, and compassion. I am profoundly grateful to Dr. Saxena for the way he treated my father during his mouth cancer surgery. He assured us that my father’s face would look flawless after the procedure, and true to his word, no one can tell that he underwent surgery. My entire family is indebted to his care and professionalism. We wish him all the best in his future endeavors and pray that his passion for his work continues to shine. Thank you, Doctor Saxena 🙏 Akshat2024-09-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
