Gynecomastia is an increasingly common problem among Indians. This is due to the increased occurrence, better awareness and also due to the availability of better treatment options than just excision(gland removal), which was followed until a few years ago. Now, the recommended treatment for any stage of gynecomastia is a combination of Liposuction and Excision, also known as Lipo-Excision.

With these techniques, all grades of Gynecomastia can be treated like the before and after pictures above.

While liposuction deals with the removal of the fat so that the chest is better contoured aesthetically; excision deals with the removal of the excess breast tissue. When used in combination, Lipo-Excision consistently yields excellent and predictable results.

Depending on the amount of breast tissue and the amount of loose skin on top of it, Gynecomastia is graded in three grades. They are Grades 1, 2A, 2B and 3 (Sometimes these are referred to as four grades, but technically they fit into these three grades).

Grade 1 is someone with a mild amount of breast tissue without any skin looseness. They sometimes just come with puffy nipples. Here are some examples.

Grade 2A is the presence of a moderate amount of breast tissue without loose skin. The size of the gland is bigger than in grade 1.

Grade 2B is where there is a moderate amount of breast tissue with some amount of extra skin.

Grade 3 is when there is a large amount of breast tissue with a lot of loose skin.

Dr. Sreekar Harinatha’s modified gynecomastia grading is now widely used and includes skin tone in the assessment of a patient. It is published in the prestigious Brazilian Journal of Plastic Surgery. It is as follows:

Grade IT: Small enlargement, no skin excess, and normal skin tone

Grade IL: Small enlargement, no skin excess, and poor skin tone (indicating laxity)

Grade IIAT: Moderate enlargement, no skin excess, and normal skin tone

Grade IIAL: Moderate enlargement, no skin excess, and poor skin tone

Grade IIBT: Moderate enlargement, minimal skin excess, and normal skin tone

Grade IIBL: Moderate enlargement, minimal skin excess, and poor skin tone

Grade IIIT: Marked enlargement, a lot of excess skin, and normal skin tone

Grade IIIL: Marked enlargement, a lot of excess skin, and poor skin tone
