The Stages of Gynecomastia: What to Expect and When to Act

Gynecomastia or breast enlargement, is very common in males. It affects 60% of adolescent boys and adult men. It can cause physical discomfort and emotional distress. At Shobhit Aesthetics, the best clinic for gynecomastia surgery in Delhi, understanding the stages of gynecomastia will help to make an informed decision about your health and appearance. So, in this blog, let us explore the same. 

What is gynecomastia? 

Gynecomastia is the growth of male breast gland tissue caused by a hormonal imbalance. It can either affect both breasts or only one. 

Though many cases of gynecomastia resolve independently, others persist over time, and recognizing the stage can help you achieve the proper medical attention. 

Stage 1: Mild (Grade I)

In this early stage, there is minor breast enlargement without excess skin. The glandular tissue may be slightly noticeable, but the chest retains a predominantly masculine contour. This is often seen during puberty and may resolve without treatment.

When to Act: Observation is usually recommended. However, consultation is advisable if it persists beyond 1–2 years or causes emotional stress.

Stage 2: Moderate 

In this stage, there is moderate breast enlargement and no excess skin. The chest will look rounded, and the glandular tissue will become firm. 

When to act: It is better to act early, and if the condition does not improve by itself, then get in touch with a gynecomastia doctor in Delhi. 

Stage 3: Moderate with Excess Skin

At this stage, the enlargement will become slightly visible and noticeable. The chest shape will be feminine, and the tissue will feel firmer and fibrous. 

When to act: This stage will not resolve independently, and gynecomastia surgery in Delhi is the only option to eliminate it. 

Stage 4: Severe 

It is the most advanced stage of gynecomastia, and it is characterized by significant breast enlargement. The appearance feels like female breasts, and the patients see that it has a considerable effect on the quality of their lives. 

When to Act: This stage needs surgical intervention. At Shobhit Aesthetics, we offer the most advanced surgery for gynecomastia in Delhi, giving you a contoured chest with minimal scarring.
