When Should You See a Doctor?

You should consider consulting a doctor if you notice:

Persistent swelling in one or both breasts
Pain, tenderness, or sensitivity in the breast area
Firm or rubbery tissue under the nipple area
Unequal breast enlargement causing asymmetry
Psychological distress due to body image concerns
Difficulty wearing fitted clothes comfortably

Delaying consultation can worsen discomfort and may also make surgical correction more complex.

Hormonal imbalance: A decrease in testosterone or an increase in estrogen levels.
Puberty: Many teenage boys experience temporary breast enlargement due to fluctuating hormones.
Aging: Older men are more likely to develop gynecomastia because testosterone levels naturally decline with age.
Medications: Certain drugs, including anabolic steroids, anti-anxiety medications, and heart medications, can cause gynecomastia.
Substance use: Alcohol, marijuana, and drugs like heroin can increase the risk.

Swelling of glandular tissue in one or both breasts
Pain or tenderness around the nipple area
Firmness beneath the areola
Visible enlargement that mimics female breast tissue
Emotional and psychological stress due to appearance

How is Gynecomastia Diagnosed?

Doctors diagnose gynecomastia through:

Physical examination: Checking for tissue enlargement, symmetry, and tenderness.
Medical history: Reviewing medications, substance use, and underlying health conditions.
Blood tests: To identify hormonal imbalances or endocrine disorders.
Imaging tests: Mammography or ultrasound to distinguish gynecomastia from other causes such as lipoma or breast cancer.

Accurate diagnosis helps determine the right course of treatment and rules out other possible health issues.

Recovery Time

Most patients recover within 2 to 4 weeks after gynecomastia surgery. Minor swelling and bruising may occur initially but typically subside in the first week. Full healing and final chest contour improvements may take up to 6 weeks.

What to Expect: Before, During & After Procedure

Before surgery: You will undergo diagnostic tests and medical evaluations. Doctors may advise avoiding certain medications and alcohol before the procedure.

During surgery: The procedure is usually performed under local or general anesthesia. Depending on the technique, excess fat and glandular tissue are removed through small incisions.

After surgery: Patients are monitored for a few hours before being discharged. Compression garments are often recommended to support healing and reduce swelling.

Recovery Timeline & Post-Treatment Care

Day 1–3: Mild pain and swelling, managed with medications.
Week 1: Most patients resume light daily activities.
Week 2–3: Bruising subsides and chest contour becomes more visible.
Week 4–6: Full recovery with improved confidence and physical comfort.

Post-treatment care tips:

Wear compression garments as instructed
Avoid strenuous activity and heavy lifting for at least 4 weeks
Keep the incision area clean to prevent infections
Follow up with your doctor regularly for progress monitoring
