Grades of Gynecomastia

Gynecomastia is the condition where the male body has excessive breast tissue or sometimes breast glands that lead to enlarged and feminine breasts. They are surgically corrected for cosmetic reasons in a majority of cases. There are three grades of gynecomastia. The grade decides which surgical procedure is required.

What is the difference between the grades of gynecomastia surgery?

The grade of the condition present determines gynecomastia surgery in India. If the individual has an only puffy nipple, i.e., there are only glands and no fat tissue, then it is easily removed using a quick incision after injecting anesthesia. 

In grade 1, there is fat content in the breast. This is resolved using gland removal and liposuction. 

In grade 2, there is excess fat content, and the chest looks more feminine than in grade 1. Grade 2 gynecomastia is surgically treated in a hospital setting, and general anesthesia is administered.

In the case of grade 3, there might be more than 800gms of fat content, and surgery may include U-lift procedure depending on the quality of the skin and the amount of sagging skin.
