Gynecomastia
Gynecomastia is a common condition in which males develop enlarged breast tissue due to hormonal imbalance, certain medications, obesity, or underlying medical conditions. Although it is usually not dangerous, gynecomastia can affect self-confidence, body image, and emotional well-being.

Whether your condition is mild or severe, timely treatment can improve both physical comfort and confidence.
What is Gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia is the enlargement of male breast tissue caused by an imbalance between estrogen and testosterone hormones. It may affect one or both breasts and can occur at any age, including during puberty, adulthood, or later in life.
While some cases resolve naturally, persistent gynecomastia may require surgical treatment to remove excess breast tissue and restore a flatter, firmer chest appearance.
A Gynecomastia Surgery in Vasant Kunj is considered the most effective treatment for long-standing or severe cases.
