As a medical journalist, I spend a great deal of time inside clinics—observing, listening, and trying to understand not just procedures, but the thinking behind them. On a recent visit to Ambrosia Aesthetics, my discussion with Dr. Siddharth Prakash focused on a topic that often comes up quietly in consultation rooms but loudly in online searches: Gynecomastia surgery cost in Mumbai. Men dealing with enlarged breast tissue frequently arrive with a mix of medical questions and social anxieties, and cost is only one part of a much larger conversation.

A thorough evaluation—including physical examination and, when needed, diagnostic tests—is essential before discussing intervention.
He noted that surgery is generally considered when the condition persists despite medical management or lifestyle modification, or when it causes significant psychological distress.
From a clinical standpoint, gynecomastia surgery offers several potential benefits:
However, Dr. Prakash was careful to outline the risks, which may include:
