“Gynecomastia is a medical condition characterized by the enlargement of male breast tissue, often due to hormonal imbalances. Treatment typically involves surgical removal of excess glandular tissue and fat through excision and liposuction procedures.”
If you’re struggling with gynecomastia, commonly referred to as “man boobs,” it’s essential to understand that you’re not alone in facing this condition. Gynecomastia can be a source of physical and emotional discomfort for many men, impacting self-confidence and quality of life. By choosing Dr. Nerkar for your gynecomastia treatment, you’re taking a proactive step toward reclaiming your confidence.
Gynecomastia, or βMan Boobs,β can be a deeply distressing experience for many men. It often stems from a sense of self-consciousness and discomfort with oneβs physical appearance, which can affect Social interactions and create Self-consciousness, Fear of Judgment, Negative Body Image, and Social Withdrawal.
Gynecomastia can lead to physical discomfort during fitness activities such as running. The excess tissue in the chest area can cause bouncing or jiggling, leading to discomfort, irritation, and even pain. This discomfort can significantly hinder the ability to engage in high-impact activities like running.
Gynecomastia can cause physical discomfort while swimming. The excess breast tissue may feel heavy, leading to sensations of pressure or discomfort in the chest area. This physical discomfort can detract from the enjoyment of swimming and may even cause individuals to avoid aquatic activities altogether.
Individuals with gynecomastia may also feel limited in their clothing choices, particularly when it comes to activewear. The discomfort and self-consciousness associated with their chest appearance may influence their selection of clothing, further exacerbating their avoidance of fitness activities.
This condition can occur due to hormonal imbalances, medications, genetic factors, or underlying medical conditions affecting one breast specifically. While gynecomastia commonly affects both breasts symmetrically, unilateral gynecomastia may result in asymmetry and disproportionate chest appearance, leading to self-consciousness and body image concerns.
Men with gynecomastia may adopt a posture where they slouch their shoulders forward in an attempt to minimize the visibility of their chest. This slouching posture can result from feelings of self-consciousness and a desire to hide the enlarged breast tissue. By hunching forward, individuals aim to obscure their chest contours and reduce the appearance of gynecomastia. However, prolonged slouching can lead to musculoskeletal issues, including back and neck pain, and further exacerbate feelings of discomfort and insecurity.Β
Addressing discomfort during activities related to gynecomastia often involves seeking professional help from a qualified healthcare provider like Dr. Kiran Nerkar. Through personalized treatment options, including surgical intervention, individuals can address the physical aspects of gynecomastia and work towards improving self-confidence and overall well-being, enabling them to participate more comfortably in aquatic activities without hindrance.Β
Additionally, seeking support from friends, family, or support groups can provide emotional reassurance and encouragement throughout the journey towards self-acceptance and empowerment.

I had liposuction done by Dr Kiran Nerkar 1.5 month ago on abdomen and flanks. Even though I have a healthy lifestyle now since many years, I did gather stubborn fat on abdomen due to past stressful life and raised cortisol levels and It was pricking to my eyes! I was not able to wear in-shirts, or proper fitting dresses. I always had to wear a loose shirt to hide my abdomen. The good results of surgery have now started to show up slowly, as the initial normal swelling is subsiding gradually. I can now wear fitting clothes happily without becoming conscious about the looks. Already started getting the complements about my appearance. I understand that it will take 2-3 months for the swelling and pain to subside completely and about 6 months to see the full expected results. I still have less skin sensations and tingling and some kind of burning pain all over, which is tolerable and is normal after this surgery. It is an invasive surgery on the body ORGAN named SKIN, and not to be taken lightly. You will not walk comfortably for at least a week. You will drain a lot of fluid soaking your bedsheets and will definitely need some help for your domestic work and for looking after your children. I did international travel back to my home and started my work 15 days after surgery. I walk 40 minutes daily since 15 days after surgery. I will wait for a month more to start my sit-ups and weight exercises. This will allow my skin to heal properly without its stretching or pulling while doing an exercise. I am wearing faja with a 1 inch foam from inside, while at home and faja with thin sponge layer from inside, when out at work. It gives a lot of comfort and pain relief when the skin is pressed from outside with faja. When taking out faja, I slowly release the pressure so that my skin does not come outwards, suddenly. Initially I used to take out the compression belt/ faja and foam, very fast, and it gave a lot of pain after removal of faja as the skin used to get released fast from the pressure. I also did lymphatic massage for 15 days and pampered my skin with Vaseline moisturizer for a month. The skin was felt like a hard board and was bumpy and irregular for a month. Now it is slowly becoming softer and smoother. It will be completely okay in 6 months. Dr. Kiran Nerkar is an experienced plastic surgeon and I am happy that I chose him for getting my surgery done. He explained all options to me with pros and cons. The hospital is clean and staff is polite and helpful. He does various cosmetic procedures as liposuction at various body parts, tummy tuck, nasal septum repair, surgeries for sagging, hand surgeries, mastectomy, breast augmentation etc I will definitely recommend all, to use the services by Dr Kiran Nerkar.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Padmaja Vasave2023-12-15Thank you so much.
