Had gynecomastia surgery but there's still fat left in my chest area. The incision and excision method wasn't used and now the fat seems to be increasing every day. Why is this happening and what can be done about it?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It's possible for gynecomastia surgery to leave some residual fat, and the feeling of increased fat can be due to several factors, including swelling, scar tissue, and the way the skin has settled. While the surgery itself removes the breast tissue and fat cells, there can be some fat left behind, and the remaining fat cells can increase in size if there are changes in your diet or activity levels.

View allI've had gynecomastia since puberty and it's really bothering me. Is there any medicine that can help or is surgery the only way to fix it? If I need surgery, how much does it usually cost?
Gynecomastia, or enlarged breasts in men, can be treated with medications or surgery. Medications like Tamoxifen and Raloxifene can help reduce breast tissue growth by blocking estrogen receptors. However, for many cases, especially if it's severe or persistent, surgery is often necessary to remove excess glandular tissue and achieve the desired outcome. The cost of gynecomastia surgery in India can range from Rs. 40,000 to Rs. 60,000, but it's best to get a personalized quote from a surgeon

I'm 20 years old but my breast size is small and I feel like I look much younger, more like 14 or 15. Honestly, it's making me feel pretty self-conscious because a lot of girls my age seem to have bigger breasts. I feel like I don't look mature. Is there a way I can enlarge my breasts?
This is completely depends on individual's growth variability and hormonal function. You should not feel like so, that you are not mature if your other hormonal functions are well and good. Be stress free and take proper diet.
