Gynecomastia, commonly referred to as 'man boobs,' is a condition characterized by the enlargement of male breast tissue. It can cause significant emotional distress and self-consciousness, especially in individuals who maintain a fit and muscular physique. In this blog, Dr. Shirol, a leading Plastic and Cosmetic Surgeon in Hubli, North Karnataka, discusses the case of a 28-year-old gym trainer and bodyguard who sought gynecomastia correction at Sampige Hospital, Hubli.
Patient Background
Our patient, a dedicated fitness enthusiast and professional bodyguard, had been struggling with gynecomastia despite rigorous workouts and a well-balanced diet. The persistent presence of excess breast tissue affected his confidence, particularly in his line of work where a well-defined chest is an asset.
Surgical Approach
After a thorough evaluation and discussion of treatment options, Dr. Shirol, a Plastic Surgeon in Hubli, decided to proceed with liposuction and gland excision using the orange peel excision technique. The procedure was performed under general anesthesia on a day-care basis, allowing the patient to return home the same day.
Surgical details:
Operative Time: 90 minutes
Techniques Used: Liposuction for fat removal and gland excision via the orange peel technique
Postoperative Care: Pressure garments advised for 10 days

The patient experienced minimal discomfort postoperatively and followed the recommended recovery protocol. By day 10, the results were practically scarless, with a well-contoured chest and a significant boost in his confidence. He resumed his routine activities gradually while continuing to wear pressure garments for optimal healing.
