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

This procedure is suitable for men experiencing enlarged breasts that do not improve with diet or exercise:

Men with persistent breast enlargement due to hormonal or genetic causes.

Those with excess breast tissue or fat unresponsive to workouts.

Individuals with stable weight and good skin elasticity.

Non-smokers or those willing to quit before and after surgery.

Gynecomastia Surgery Techniques

Liposuction

Excess fat is removed using a cannula, ideal for patients with fatty gynecomastia.

Excision

Surgical removal of glandular tissue, often combined with liposuction.

Combination

Both methods may be used for more severe cases or excess skin.

Recovery and Aftercare

Recovery is usually quick and comfortable:

Swelling and bruising may last 1–2 weeks.

Compression garments should be worn for 3–4 weeks.

Most patients return to work within 5–7 days.

Final results are visible after 2–3 months once swelling subsides.
