Gynecomastia Surgery

Male breast reduction — expert, discreet treatment in Istanbul

Overview

Gynecomastia is the enlargement of male breast tissue, affecting up to 30–40% of men at some point in their life. It can cause significant self-consciousness, avoidance of activities, and psychological distress. Surgery removes the glandular tissue (and fat where relevant) to create a flat, masculine chest contour. Turkey has become a major destination for this procedure, with experienced surgeons, discreet all-inclusive packages, and costs significantly lower than the UK.

Key Benefits

  • Restores a flat, masculine chest profile
  • Permanent results in most cases
  • Dramatically improves confidence and quality of life
  • Discreet — small incisions around the areola
  • Can be combined with liposuction for full chest sculpting
  • Highly competitive Turkish pricing

Procedure Options

Glandular Tissue Excision

Surgical removal of the firm glandular tissue beneath the nipple through a small incision at the areola edge.

Liposuction-Only

For pseudogynecomastia (fat only, no glandular tissue) — minimal scar option using liposuction alone.

Excision + Liposuction

The most common combination — glandular tissue removed surgically and surrounding fat removed via liposuction.

Nipple Reduction

Often combined — reduces enlarged or puffy nipple/areola that accompanies gynecomastia.

What to Expect

Surgery takes 1–2 hours under local anaesthetic or sedation (mild cases) or general anaesthesia (more significant cases). Compression vest worn for 4–6 weeks. Stay in Turkey for 5–7 days.

Recovery Timeline

5–7 days in Turkey. 2 weeks before light work. 4–6 weeks in compression vest. Gym at 6–8 weeks.
