Look as Masculine as you are

Patient care starts with a thorough consultation. During this initial meeting, Dr. Karoon Agrawal examines the degree of enlargement of your gynecomastia, reviews your medical history. He also takes time to answer all of your questions. Afterward, he provides you with his recommended treatment plan. The duration of the consultation is usually 20 minutes. However, in complex cases, it may last much longer.

If time permits, Dr. Karoon Agrawal will provide treatment at the end of your consultation. In particular, he takes into consideration patients who must travel long distances and tries to minimize the number of trips required for treatment.

Unlike many practices where patients are treated by dermatologists or non-physicians, Dr. Karoon Agrawal personally conducts all of the consultations and provides all of the treatments for his patients. He is passionate about providing hands-on care for each individual and following the progress of each procedure. He takes pride in providing his patients with the best possible care for the treatment of their ailments.

The initial consultation fee is Rs. 1,200. Treatment charges are separate and vary from patient to patient.

Yes. There are varying degrees of severity when it comes to male breast development, and puffy nipples are often part of the gynecomastia problem. The goal of surgery is to provide reduction and contour for a more masculine-looking chest, which can involve making changes to the nipples.

The tissue removed through male breast reduction surgery will not come back on its own, and in this sense, the surgery is permanent. However, should the patient not make lifestyle changes, and continues to engage in habits that can prompt gynecomastia or psuedogynecomastia, the problem could reoccur. Weight gain later on could also compromise the results of the surgery, if fat accumulates in the chest area.

While it would be nice if there was a magic pill to resolve problems like gynecomastia, the reality is that these products are a gimmick and a waste of money. At this time, the only effective treatment for male breast development is surgery with a skilled plastic surgeon.

All surgery produces some scarring, but the majority of patients can have their chest fullness addressed with only small incisions through which liposuction is performed. In other cases, male breast reduction procedures may include only a very small (1 inch) incision at the bottom of each areola (skin surrounding the nipple). This scar is generally very discreet and should become less prominent over time. For more extensive gynecomastia surgery, additional incisions may be required to tighten the skin, but all scars are minimized as much as possible.

Many people are surprised to hear that performing chest exercises in order to make gynecomastia less noticeable can actually make the problem worse. This is because gynecomastia has nothing to do with the chest muscles, and building out those muscles can increase the volume in the chest that is already overdeveloped from unwanted breast tissue. Following surgery, however, men who build up the chest muscles can expect nice, masculine “pecs” instead of “man boobs”.

The goal of male breast reduction is always a natural appearance and a masculine contour to the chest. Only excess breast tissue is removed since all men have some breast gland tissue. Removing additional tissue would affect the chest contours negatively and make the result appear unnatural. When performed by a skilled plastic surgeon, male breast reduction results are typically very symmetrical and natural-looking.

It’s always hard to say whether gynecomastia is a passing phase or not, but the fact is that the problem is usually only temporary in newborns and adolescents. Adult men with gynecomastia shouldn’t expect the problem to go away on its own, as once breast gland tissue has formed, it can only be resolved with surgical excision. Furthermore, if gynecomastia is triggered by prescription or illegal drug use, including anabolic steroids, breast growth can reappear after surgery if the drug use is not ceased.
