Hello Namit Ji,

If you're struggling with chest fat that doesn't go away with exercise or diet, it may not be regular fat—it could be a condition called gynecomastia, which is common and treatable.

🔍 First, rule out the cause:

• Pseudogynecomastia – Fat buildup due to weight gain; may improve with diet and exercise.

• Gynecomastia – A hormonal imbalance causing enlargement of male breast tissue; cannot be fixed by workouts or diet alone.

• Medication side effects, liver issues, or other hormonal conditions can also contribute.

💡 If it's Gynaecomastia:

• No matter how much you exercise, the glandular tissue won't go away on its own.

• The most effective and permanent solution is gynecomastia surgery.

🏥 How Gynecomastia Surgery Works:

• It's a day-care or one-day procedure done under local or general anaesthesia.

• The surgeon removes excess gland tissue and fat, often with liposuction.

• Minimal cuts, no visible scarring, and quick recovery (most return to routine in 2–3 days).

🤝 How HexaHealth Can Help:

• Free consultation with top plastic surgeons near you

• Detailed cost estimate and EMI options

• Help with insurance eligibility and paperwork

• Full support before, during, and after surgery

Don't let this affect your confidence—gynecomastia is very common and highly treatable.

Wishing you comfort, confidence, and expert care on your journey!

Dear Shama ji,

Yes, spider veins (also called facial telangiectasia) on the nose and cheeks are treatable. These are small, dilated blood vessels that appear close to the surface of the skin and are commonly caused by sun damage, genetics, rosacea, or hormonal changes.

Treatment options available include:

1. Laser Therapy (ND: YAG / IPL):

   • The most effective and commonly used treatment for spider veins

   • Targets and collapses the visible veins without damaging the nearby skin

   • Requires multiple sessions for best results

2. Electrosurgery / Radiofrequency (RF):

   • Uses heat to close off the small vessels

   • Can be effective for smaller or stubborn veins

3. Topical care and sun protection:

   • SPF use daily is important to prevent further damage

   • Dermatologists may recommend creams to support skin healing and reduce redness

Next Step:
We recommend that you consult a dermatologist or cosmetic skin specialist who can assess your skin and suggest the best option for you based on the severity and skin type.
