Exercise can help reduce fat in the chest area and may improve the appearance of pseudo-gynecomastia, but it cannot eliminate glandular breast tissue, which is the defining feature of true gynecomastia. If the enlargement is caused by glandular tissue, it will not respond to diet or exercise regardless of how consistent the effort is. Removing the causative factor, such as a medication or steroid, may help in some cases, but persistent glandular gynecomastia almost always requires surgical correction for a lasting result.

Gynecomastia surgery at Galwa Care Hospital involves liposuction to remove excess fatty tissue, surgical excision through a small incision around the areola to remove glandular tissue, or a combination of both depending on the composition of the enlargement. Incisions are small and carefully placed around the areola edge, where they are least visible and blend naturally with the surrounding skin. Scars are typically minimal and continue to fade over the months following surgery, leaving behind a flat, naturally contoured chest.

Most patients are able to resume light daily activities within a few days of the procedure and return to normal routines within a few weeks. A compression vest is worn during the initial recovery period to support healing and help the skin conform to the new chest contour. Results are long-lasting, provided hormonal balance is maintained and significant weight gain is avoided. Recurrence is rare but possible if the underlying hormonal trigger, such as medication use or a medical condition, is not addressed alongside the surgical treatment.

Yes, gynecomastia surgery is a well-established, routinely performed procedure with a strong safety record when carried out by experienced specialists at Galwa Care Hospital. The procedure can be performed on one side only when the enlargement is unilateral, or on both sides simultaneously when both are affected, to achieve the most balanced and symmetrical result. A comprehensive pre-operative assessment ensures that all medical factors are considered, any contributing causes are identified, and the treatment plan is fully appropriate for each individual's specific situation.
