Gynecomastia — enlarged male breast tissue — affects an estimated 30–60% of men at some point in their lives. For most it resolves naturally; for many it doesn't. If you've tried exercise, diet and weight loss without flattening the chest, the issue is glandular tissue, not fat — and only surgery can correct it.
True gynecomastia is the growth of glandular breast tissue under the nipple in men, often triggered by hormonal imbalance during puberty, steroid use, certain medications or weight gain. It is distinct from pseudo-gynecomastia (pure fat) which responds to weight loss. A simple in-clinic exam at our Gurgaon centre can tell which type you have.
