What Is Gland-Only Gynecomastia?

Glandular gynecomastia occurs due to an excess of breast gland tissue, typically located directly beneath the areola. It is:

• Firm or rubbery to touch
• Resistant to diet and exercise
• Usually not accompanied by chest fat
• Often seen in lean or athletic men, teenagers, or bodybuilders

In such cases, liposuction isn't needed. A targeted surgical excision of the gland through a small incision gives optimal results.

Ideal Candidates for Gland-Only Removal

You may be a candidate for this procedure if:

• You’re fit or lean, but have puffy nipples or hard tissue under areola
• The chest bulge is localized and glandular, not fatty
• You’ve had stable weight and hormone levels
• You’re unhappy with nipple projection in tight shirts or bare chest
• You want a faster recovery, minimal downtime, and no overcorrection

Many male models, athletes, actors, and teenagers prefer gland-only correction to maintain chest definition while removing the bulge.

Procedure Details: What to Expect

This is typically a daycare procedure performed under local or general anesthesia. Steps include:

1. Clinical Evaluation
   Dr. Kalva performs a detailed examination to confirm that your case involves pure glandular tissue without fat accumulation.
2. Marking and Anaesthesia
   Pre-operative markings are done around the areola. Local anesthesia or light general anesthesia is administered.
3. Small Areolar Incision
   A 2–2.5 cm incision is made at the lower border of the areola (pigmented nipple area) for near-invisible scarring.
4. Glandular Excision
   The entire gland is meticulously dissected and removed. Dr. Kalva ensures complete removal to prevent recurrence while preserving natural contour.
5. Closure and Dressing
   The incision is closed with fine cosmetic sutures. A light dressing is applied. No drains are typically needed.

Recovery and Results

• Hospital Stay: Daycare procedure; discharged same day
• Pain & Discomfort: Minimal; managed with oral meds
• Return to Work: 2–3 days
• Compression Garment: Worn for 2–3 weeks to support healing
• Exercise: Resume light workouts in 2 weeks, full workouts in 4 weeks
• Final Result: Seen in 4–6 weeks as swelling subsides

Scars fade well and are barely visible within months, blending with areola pigment.
