Gynecomastia Surgery in Mumbai has become one of the most sought-after cosmetic procedures among men seeking to regain body confidence. The condition—commonly referred to as “male breast enlargement”—can affect men at any age, often leading to emotional distress and self-consciousness. As more men embrace cosmetic surgery as part of self-care, understanding the science, safety, and artistry behind gynecomastia correction is crucial. To explore this evolving domain, I met Dr. Siddharth Prakash, a leading Cosmetic and Plastic Surgeon in Mumbai, who has built a reputation for his precision, patient-centered approach, and ethical medical practice.
Dr. Siddharth Prakash is a board-certified Plastic, Reconstructive, and Cosmetic Surgeon with extensive training in India and abroad. After earning his M.Ch. in Plastic Surgery from one of India’s top institutions, he pursued advanced fellowships in aesthetic and reconstructive surgery at internationally acclaimed centers. With more than 15 years of experience, Dr. Prakash has mastered a wide spectrum of cosmetic procedures, from facelifts to body contouring—yet it’s his expertise in male chest contour correction that has drawn particular attention.
At his clinic, Ambrosia Aesthetics, located in South Mumbai, I found a modern yet serene setup—equipped with state-of-the-art surgical facilities, advanced suction-assisted liposuction systems, and comfortable post-care recovery rooms. “Gynecomastia is not just a cosmetic concern,” Dr. Prakash told me during our conversation. “It affects a man’s confidence, posture, and mental well-being. My goal is to restore both physical balance and self-esteem.”
Gynecomastia is a benign enlargement of male breast tissue caused by hormonal imbalance, genetics, or certain medications. The condition is surprisingly common—studies suggest it affects nearly 40–60% of men at some point in life.
Dr. Prakash explained that Gynecomastia Surgery is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure that combines liposuction (to remove excess fat) and gland excision (to remove firm breast tissue). “It’s a customized approach,” he said. “Some patients need only fat removal, while others require gland removal for a completely flat, natural-looking chest.”
In India, other leading surgeons such as Dr. Debraj Shome and Dr. Rajat Gupta has contributed significantly to the advancement of male aesthetic surgeries, including gynecomastia correction. Internationally, names like Dr. Paul Banwell and Dr. Steven Teitelbaum is recognized for their pioneering work in body contouring and male cosmetic surgery.
These experts share a common philosophy: modern cosmetic surgery is about enhancing natural appearance and confidence, not altering identity.
Every medical intervention carries both benefits and limitations, and gynecomastia correction is no exception.
