What Is Gynecomastia?

Gynecomastia is the enlargement of glandular breast tissue in males.

It may result from:

• Hormonal imbalance
• Puberty-related changes
• Genetic factors
• Certain medications
• Weight fluctuations
• Underlying medical conditions

True gynecomastia involves glandular tissue enlargement and cannot always be corrected with exercise alone.

The aim of surgery is to restore natural chest contour not to create artificial muscular exaggeration.

Who Is a Suitable Candidate for Gynecomastia Surgery?

You may be a suitable candidate if:

• You have persistent chest fullness despite stable weight
• You experience glandular enlargement confirmed by examination
• You feel discomfort or sensitivity in the chest area
• You are in good general health
• Your expectations are realistic

A detailed evaluation determines whether the enlargement is glandular, fatty, or mixed.

How Is Gynecomastia Surgery Performed in Istanbul?

Gynecomastia surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia.

Procedure overview:

• Small incisions are made in discreet areas (often around the areola)
• Liposuction may be used to remove excess fat
• Glandular tissue is surgically excised when necessary
• The chest contour is reshaped
• Incisions are closed with fine sutures

In cases of significant skin excess, additional tightening procedures may be required.

Surgery duration is approximately 1.5–2 hours.

Modern techniques aim to minimize visible scarring.

Recovery & Aftercare

Male Chest Contouring

Gynecomastia surgery removes excess glandular tissue and fat to create a flatter and more masculine chest appearance.

Precision Surgical Removal

The procedure may involve liposuction, gland removal, or a combination of techniques depending on the patient’s condition.

Compression Garment Support

Patients typically wear a compression garment after surgery to support the chest area and reduce swelling during healing.

Gradual Return to Physical Activity

Most patients can return to work within about a week, while heavy physical activity should be avoided during the early recovery period.

Safety and Long-Term Outcomes

When performed by experienced surgeons in accredited hospitals in Istanbul, gynecomastia surgery is considered safe and effective.

Long-term results depend on:

• Surgical technique
• Skin elasticity
• Hormonal stability
• Weight maintenance

Results are generally permanent if weight remains stable.

The goal is natural chest definition not overcorrection.
