The VG Signature Approach to Male Chest Sculpting
At VG Signature, gynecomastia surgery is not treated as simple fat removal. It is approached as structural masculine contour refinement.
True male chest sculpting requires:
- Accurate diagnosis of gland versus fat
- Controlled glandular excision
- Precision liposculpture
- Strategic contour blending
- Preservation of masculine chest lines
Dr. Vipul Gargya performs every procedure personally, combining surgical control with aesthetic restraint. The goal is not flattening the chest, but restoring natural masculine architecture.
The result should look athletic, proportional, and completely natural.
What Is Gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia is the enlargement of male breast tissue caused by excess glandular development, hormonal changes, genetics, certain medications, or weight fluctuations.
Unlike chest fat alone, true gynecomastia involves firm glandular tissue beneath the nipple-areolar complex. This tissue cannot be removed with liposuction alone.
Patients often report:
- Persistent chest fullness despite weight loss
- Puffiness or projection beneath the nipple
- Embarrassment removing shirts
- Avoiding fitted clothing
Proper diagnosis is critical. Surgical treatment must address both glandular tissue and surrounding fat for optimal contour.
Why Pseudogynecomastia Is Often Misdiagnosed
Many men are told they simply have excess chest fat. However, pseudogynecomastia and true gynecomastia frequently coexist.
If glandular tissue is not removed:
- The chest may still appear puffy
- The nipple can project forward
- The contour remains rounded rather than angular
At VG Signature, Dr. Gargya evaluates tissue density, skin quality, and chest anatomy to determine whether excision, liposuction, or a combined approach is required.
Misdiagnosis leads to undercorrection. Precision diagnosis leads to masculine definition.
Surgical Technique and Precision
Gynecomastia surgery at VG Signature is performed with a focus on:
- Minimal and strategically concealed incisions
- Direct glandular excision when indicated
- High-definition liposculpture
- Controlled contour tapering toward the lateral chest
- Nipple-areolar complex balance
Incisions are typically placed along the natural border of the areola or within small, discreet access points.
The objective is a smooth transition from upper chest to lower chest, preserving natural pectoral definition.
There is no over-resection, no hollowing, and no artificial flattening.
Only refined masculine contour.

Before and After Results
Gynecomastia surgery results should appear:
- Naturally athletic
- Balanced across both sides
- Free of puffiness
- Masculine in profile
- Invisible in scarring
Each result reflects controlled sculpting rather than aggressive removal. Dr. Gargya prioritizes symmetry and proportional tapering so the chest looks like it developed naturally, not surgically altered.
Real Patient Experience
My son had surgery in November to correct gynecomastia (male breast tissue) and we could not be happier with the overall experience and results! Dr. Vipul Gargya has truly been a blessing for our family. My son developed this condition during puberty and has suffered with self-esteem and confidence issues that have impacted his entire life. This was an awkward and embarrassing this for a teenager to go through, but Dr. Gargya made my son feel relaxed and comfortable from the start. He is not only a skilled surgeon, but he is a caring and compassionate person that truly wants the best for his patients. He personally called to check on our son the night of the surgery. I would recommend Dr. Gargya to anyone and I plan to have my own 25-year-old breast implants removed and replaced soon. This surgery has been life changing for our son, he no longer hides under layers or hoodies. We can’t thank Dr. Gargya enough!
Recovery Timeline
Most gynecomastia procedures are performed under general anesthesia or sedation.
Typical recovery expectations:
Day 1-3
Mild swelling and soreness. Compression garment is worn continuously.
Week 1
Return to light work activities. Bruising begins resolving.
Week 2-3
Swelling continues to decrease. Chest contour begins to refine.
Weeks 4–6
Gradual return to full physical activity and gym training.
3 Months
Final contour becomes increasingly visible as residual swelling resolves.
Note: Compression garments are typically worn for several weeks to support contour stabilization.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q.1 Will there be visible scars?
Answer: Incisions are intentionally placed in natural transitions of the areola or discreet access points. With proper healing, scars typically fade significantly over time.
Q.2 Can gynecomastia return after surgery?
Answer: When glandular tissue is properly excised, recurrence is uncommon unless significant hormonal shifts occur.
Q.3 Is liposuction alone enough?
Answer: In true gynecomastia cases, liposuction alone is insufficient. Direct gland removal is often required for complete correction.
Q.4 How long do results last?
Answer: Results are permanent, provided weight and hormonal balance remain stable.
Q.5 When can I return to the gym?
Answer: Most patients resume lower body workouts within two weeks and full chest training after four to six weeks.
