Best Gynecomastia doctor In Kolkata

Gynaecomastia is the enlargement of male breast tissue. It usually develops when testosterone and oestrogen levels become imbalanced. Certain medications, obesity, and some medical conditions may also contribute to it. If the condition is causing discomfort or affecting your confidence, consult a gynaecomastia doctor in Kolkata.

At the CK Birla Hospitals, Kolkata, our experienced plastic and reconstructive surgeons provide comprehensive evaluation and personalised treatment for gynaecomastia. Our specialists identify the underlying cause of gynaecomastia and recommend advanced surgical solutions when needed. We focus on providing safe, effective treatment and helping you achieve a natural chest contour and improved confidence. 

Our Approach to Gynaecomastia Treatment

Gynaecomastia can affect one or both breasts. It may develop during puberty, adulthood, or later in life. Hormonal changes are the most common cause, but certain medications, obesity, and underlying medical conditions can also lead to it.

When you visit the CK Birla Hospitals, Kolkata, your consultation begins with a detailed discussion about your symptoms, medical history, current medications, and overall health. This is followed by a physical examination to understand the cause and severity of the condition.

Some men have excess glandular breast tissue, while others have excess fat in the chest area, a condition known as pseudogynecomastia. Identifying the cause helps determine the most appropriate treatment.

Diagnosis and Evaluation

A careful evaluation is the first step towards treatment. Your doctor will assess whether breast enlargement is linked to hormone levels, medications, weight gain, or another medical condition.

Depending on your symptoms, the evaluation may include:

• Physical examination
• Blood tests to check hormone levels
• Review of medications
• Ultrasound or mammography, if needed
• Additional tests to rule out underlying health conditions

If required, our plastic surgeons work closely with endocrinologists and other specialists to ensure an accurate diagnosis.

Gynaecomastia Treatment

Treatment depends on the cause and severity of gynaecomastia.

Some cases improve without surgery, especially when they occur during puberty. If the condition is related to medication or another health problem, treating the underlying cause may help.

Surgery may be recommended if enlarged breast tissue persists or causes physical or emotional discomfort.

Treatment options include:

• Liposuction to remove excess fat
• Surgical removal of glandular tissue
• A combination of liposuction and gland excision
• Chest contouring for selected cases

The goal of treatment is to create a flatter, more natural-looking chest while preserving symmetry and minimising visible scars whenever possible.

Recovery After Surgery

Recovery varies from person to person. Most patients can return to light daily activities within a few days. Heavy lifting and strenuous exercise should be avoided until your doctor advises otherwise.

Regular follow-up visits help monitor healing and recovery. Your doctor will also provide guidance on wound care, compression garments, and safely returning to your normal routine.
