I’ve been visiting Dr Prerna Mittal at the Hunar Clinic for a couple of years now. Always a very professional and friendly service with fantastic results and excellent after care services. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the Hunar Clinic.

Matthew Baker

From the first consultation to the operation itself, nothing was too much trouble for Dr Gupta and his amazing team. I was able to get an initial appointment straight away, and, once he had decided on the right course of action, I was in surgery the week after. The aftercare was fantastic and, now, four week after a quick and pain-free procedure, I couldn’t be happier with the results. I’ve got my confidence back! Thank you.

Male chest reduction prices

The cost is determined by the seriousness of the condition and the difficulty of the situation.

Pricing depends on the complexity of the procedure; the amount of tissue being treated and whether sedation is required.

Dr Gupta handles each patient individually and will address any concerns or questions you might have about the procedure and surgery.

The patient journey

Consultation

Before any aesthetic treatments, a thorough consultation at our clinic is essential. During this session, a comprehensive holistic and integrative medical assessment will be conducted to ensure your safety and suitability for the treatment. This initial step is crucial in your aesthetic journey, as it guarantees you receive the most appropriate treatment plan tailored to your desired results. Additionally, the consultation offers an opportunity to understand your needs, answer any questions, and address any concerns you may have.

Treatment

A standard male breast reduction operation lasts about two hours and requires one to two days of recovery. Surgical removals take a little longer to heal from, ranging from three days to a week, but they are much less common.

Microlipo, also known as the “tumescent technique,” is used to execute the operation. A mixture of tumescent fluid and local anaesthetic is pumped into the trouble areas beforehand, and tiny microcannulas inserted into the skin sucking it out. The mixture reacts with the fatty tissue and swells, forming a hard material that is pumped out.

During the minimally invasive operation, patients are awake and often converse with Dr Gupta and his staff. There will be no overnight stay, no increased risks, and you will be back on your feet in no time because no general anaesthetic is needed.

Aftercare

Patients are instructed to wear a compression garment for a few days after the operation to assist with swelling and flush out any excess tumescent fluid. You will need to change the bandage once or twice, but this is due to the fluid being absorbed rather than any blood loss.

Adits (holes) are left open to allow for fast drainage and leak stoppage. Absorptive dressings and compression garments are worn for 2-3 days before drainage has stopped, and the patient can resume daily activities. As a result, there are no dos and don’ts, and one can pretty much do whatever they want.

Swelling will appear in around a week and will gradually subside over the next 4-6 weeks.

Immediately after the operation, you will see a totally flat chest, which can trigger some surprise among men who aren’t sure what they’re seeing.

The body fully recovers in four to six weeks, leaving no noticeable scars and revealing the full effect of the operation.

A follow-up consultation should be scheduled at 6-8 weeks.

Male chest reduction FAQs

Code in here [ DO NOT EDIT ]

What is male chest reduction surgery?

Male chest reduction is a procedure designed to reduce excess fatty tissue from the chest to create a flatter, firmer and more masculine chest contour. At Hunar Clinic, Dr Puneet Gupta primarily uses advanced tumescent micro-liposuction techniques with fine microcannulas for a less invasive approach and faster recovery.

What causes gynecomastia?

Gynecomastia can develop due to:

Hormonal imbalance
Weight gain
Genetics
Puberty-related hormonal changes
Certain medications
Alcohol or anabolic steroid use
Medical conditions affecting hormones

Sometimes even men who are slim and physically active can still develop stubborn chest fullness that does not respond to diet or exercise.

Can exercise get rid of male chest fat?

While maintaining a healthy lifestyle can reduce overall body fat, diet and exercise alone often cannot remove stubborn chest fat or glandular tissue associated with gynecomastia. Treatments such as micro-liposuction and male chest reduction can help create a flatter, firmer, more masculine chest appearance.

What technique does Dr Puneet Gupta use?

Dr Puneet Gupta specialises in tumescent micro-liposuction using very fine microcannulas, usually between 1–3 mm in diameter. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, allowing precise fat removal with minimal scarring, less bruising and quicker recovery compared with older traditional liposuction methods.

What is the difference between micro-liposuction and traditional liposuction?

Traditional liposuction often involved larger cannulas, general anaesthesia and longer recovery. Micro-liposuction uses much finer instruments and tumescent local anaesthesia, making the procedure gentler and more precise with:

Smaller entry points
Reduced trauma
Faster recovery
Minimal blood loss
Less downtime
More refined contouring results

Will I need general anaesthesia?

Most male chest reduction procedures at Dr Puneet Gupta’s practice are performed under tumescent local anaesthesia. This avoids many of the risks associated with general anaesthesia and allows patients to go home the same day.

Will there be visible scars?

Micro-liposuction uses tiny access points rather than large surgical cuts. In most cases, scarring is minimal and discreet.

Is male chest reduction painful?

Patients typically experience some soreness, swelling and tightness for a few days after treatment, similar to an intense workout. Because tumescent local anaesthesia is used, discomfort during the procedure itself is usually very manageable.

How long is recovery?

Most patients return to desk-based work within a few days. Light activity can usually resume quickly, while gym training and heavy upper body exercise are generally avoided for several weeks depending on healing and the extent of treatment.

Will I need to wear a compression garment?

Yes. A compression garment is usually worn after surgery to help reduce swelling, support healing and improve skin retraction and contouring.

Will the skin tighten after male chest reduction?

Skin often retracts naturally once the excess fat volume is removed, particularly in younger patients with good skin quality. During consultation, Dr Puneet Gupta assesses skin elasticity carefully to advise what result can realistically be achieved.

Am I suitable for male chest reduction?

You may be suitable if:

You are bothered by persistent chest fullness
Your weight is relatively stable
You are in good general health
Diet and exercise have not improved the area
You have realistic expectations

A detailed consultation is needed to determine whether the fullness is primarily fat, glandular tissue, or both.

How much fat can be removed?

The goal is not simply removing as much fat as possible. The aim is to create a natural, masculine chest contour that remains proportionate to the rest of the body.

Will the results look natural?

At Hunar Clinic, the focus is on subtle, balanced and natural-looking contour improvement rather than over-sculpted or artificial results.

Are the results permanent?

The removed fat cells do not grow back. However, significant weight gain, hormonal changes or anabolic steroid use may affect the chest in the future. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle helps preserve long-term results.

Why do patients choose Dr Puneet Gupta?

Patients choose Dr Puneet Gupta because of his extensive experience in micro-liposuction, his minimally invasive approach, and his focus on safety and natural-looking outcomes. He is one of the few practitioners in Europe trained in both VASER and microcannular liposuction techniques.

What is male chest reduction?

The treatment procedure for male chest reduction is Liposuction which is a surgical procedure and simply means fat removal.

Gynecomastia, commonly known as “man boobs” or “moobs,” is a condition that causes enlargement of the male chest due to excess fat or glandular tissue. It commonly develops during puberty because of hormonal changes, but it can also be linked to weight fluctuations, ageing, or genetics. Although harmless medically, gynecomastia can significantly affect confidence, self-esteem, and body image.

Types of Gynecomastia

Pseudogynecomastia

Pseudogynecomastia is caused by excess fat accumulation in the chest area, creating the appearance of enlarged breasts. This type responds well to minimally invasive micro-liposuction treatments designed to remove stubborn fat and improve chest contour.

True Gynecomastia

True gynecomastia involves enlargement of glandular breast tissue as well as fat. Men may notice swelling, tenderness, or a firm lump behind the nipple. In many cases, surgical removal of glandular tissue alongside liposuction provides the best results.
