Advanced Surgical Techniques in 2026
Liposuction-Assisted Mastectomy
Dr. Neel Gupta employs advanced liposuction techniques including VASER-assisted liposuction for precise fat removal while preserving surrounding tissues. This minimally invasive approach is ideal for patients with primarily fatty gynecomastia.
Pull-Through Technique
For moderate gynecomastia, this innovative technique allows removal of glandular tissue through small incisions around the areola, minimising visible scarring while achieving excellent results.
Extended Excision Technique
For severe cases involving significant skin excess, Dr. Neel Gupta uses advanced excision techniques that remove excess tissue and skin while maintaining natural chest contours and nipple positioning.
