Gynecomastia Treatment

Gynecomastia is a common condition in men where the breast tissue becomes enlarged, creating a swollen or feminine chest appearance.
It can affect one or both breasts and may cause discomfort, tenderness, or emotional distress. Gynecomastia Treatment, also known as Male Breast Reduction Surgery, is a safe, minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that removes excess fat, glandular tissue, and skin, restoring a flat, masculine chest contour.
India is one of the top destinations globally for gynecomastia treatment, offering world-class plastic surgeons, modern medical facilities, and affordable costs compared to Western countries. At VivaVel Health, we connect international patients with India's top cosmetic and reconstructive surgeons specialising in gynecomastia correction, providing comprehensive medical tourism support from consultation to recovery.
