What Is Grade 1 Gynecomastia?
Grade 1 gynecomastia is the mildest stage on the Simon classification scale. It involves a small, localised swelling of glandular tissue directly behind the nipple, with no excess skin and little change to the overall chest shape. The firm disc is often felt more than it is seen, and it can be tender. Grade 1 commonly appears during puberty or after a hormonal shift.

How Grade 1 Gynecomastia Is Treated?
The first step is to confirm whether the cause is a true glandular disc or simply chest fat. The two look similar but are treated differently, so a clinical examination is needed. See gynecomastia and chest fat: how to tell the difference.
- True Grade 1 gynecomastia has a glandular disc that liposuction cannot remove, so it needs liposuction with gland excision through a small intra-areolar incision.
- Pseudogynecomastia is chest fat with no glandular disc, and it may respond to weight loss or be treated with liposuction alone.
Because the disc is small, Grade 1 surgery is the shortest of the gynecomastia procedures. For higher grades with more tissue and skin excess, see Grade 3 Gynecomastia Surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Grade 1 gynecomastia?
Grade 1 gynecomastia is the mildest stage on the Simon classification scale. It involves a small, localised swelling of glandular tissue directly behind the nipple, with no excess skin and little change to the overall chest shape. The firm disc is often felt more than seen and can be tender. It commonly appears during puberty or after a hormonal shift.
How is Grade 1 gynecomastia treated?
True Grade 1 gynecomastia has a small glandular disc that liposuction alone cannot remove, so it is treated with liposuction combined with a small gland excision through an intra-areolar incision. Dr. Dhruv Chavan confirms whether the tissue is glandular or fatty at the consultation, because pseudogynecomastia (chest fat only) is treated differently and may respond to weight loss or liposuction alone.
Can Grade 1 gynecomastia be treated without surgery?
If the cause is pseudogynecomastia, where the fullness is fat with no glandular disc, it may improve with weight loss and does not always need surgery. True Grade 1 gynecomastia has a glandular disc that will not disappear with diet, exercise, or medication, so surgery is the reliable option. A clinical examination by Dr. Dhruv Chavan confirms which applies to your case.
How much does Grade 1 gynecomastia treatment cost in Pune?
Grade 1 gynecomastia surgery at Dr DC Plastic Surgery in Pune costs Rs. 70,000 to Rs. 90,000 all-inclusive in 2026. The figure covers the surgeon fee, anaesthesia, day-care facility charges, all consumables, the compression garment, two weeks of medications, and three post-operative follow-up consultations with Dr. Dhruv Chavan.
How long is recovery from Grade 1 gynecomastia surgery?
Grade 1 surgery has the fastest recovery of the gynecomastia procedures. Most patients return to desk work within 3 to 5 days. The compression garment is worn for 4 to 6 weeks, and full exercise is usually cleared by 4 to 6 weeks. The final chest contour settles over 3 to 6 months as swelling resolves.
