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.

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.
