Gynecomastia Surgery (Male Breast Reduction)

Gynecomastia is the enlargement of male breast tissue caused by hormonal imbalance, genetics, obesity, or certain medications. It can lead to self-consciousness and discomfort. Gynecomastia surgery, also known as male breast reduction, removes excess breast tissue, fat, and sometimes skin, restoring a flatter and more masculine chest. At İnci Esthetic, this procedure is performed by experienced plastic surgeons using modern, minimally invasive techniques.

Benefits of Gynecomastia Surgery

Male breast reduction provides both physical and psychological benefits:
  • Restores a flat, firm, and masculine chest contour.
  • Improves self-confidence and body image.
  • Allows greater comfort in clothing and physical activities.
  • Minimally invasive techniques with small, discreet scars.
  • Long-lasting results when combined with a healthy lifestyle.
  • Candidates for Gynecomastia Surgery
