Redefine Confidence with Gynecomastia Surgery

Gynecomastia is the enlargement of male breast tissue, often causing the chest to appear feminine or disproportionate. This condition can be caused by hormonal imbalances, genetics, medications, or obesity. Gynecomastia surgery, also known as male breast reduction, involves removing excess tissue and fat to create a more masculine chest contour, improving both appearance and self-esteem.

Types of Treatment

Leading Up to Your Procedure

Proper preparation is essential to achieving the best results and ensuring a smooth recovery. Here’s what to do before your gynecomastia surgery:

Quit Smoking

Smoking significantly impairs the body’s ability to heal and increases the risk of complications. To optimize your recovery and reduce the risk of infection, we strongly recommend quitting smoking at least 4-6 weeks before your surgery, and refraining from smoking during your recovery period.

Discontinue Contraceptive Pills

For your safety, all contraceptive pills must be stopped at least one month prior to surgery. This is necessary to reduce the risk of blood clots and to support optimal circulation during your procedure.

Limit Alcohol Consumption

Alcohol can interfere with anesthesia, increase swelling, and slow down the healing process. To ensure a smoother surgery and recovery, please limit alcohol intake at least 1-2 weeks before your procedure and refrain from drinking during your recovery period.

Stop Blood Thinners, Supplements, and Herbal Teas

Blood-thinning medications, certain supplements, and herbal teas can increase the risk of bleeding during surgery. Please stop taking these at least 1-2 weeks before your procedure. Always consult with your surgeon about any medications or supplements you're currently taking to ensure a safe and effective surgery.

Payment Details

Payments for your procedure should be made in cash. Bank transfers should be done 7 days prior to arrival and if you prefer to pay by credit card, a processing fee will be added to the total amount, and the payment must be processed before your arrival in the country.

Visa Arrangements

If you're traveling from abroad, ensure that you have the appropriate visa for entry into Turkey. If your country requires a visa, feel free to reach out to our team for assistance—we're happy to help with the process.

Dietary Recommendations

A well-balanced, nutritious diet is key to supporting your body’s healing process. Eat nutrient-rich foods in the weeks leading up to your surgery to help strengthen your immune system and prepare your body for the procedure.

Prepare for Post-Surgery Recovery

It’s important to prepare a comfortable, quiet space for recovery at home. Take time off from work and avoid any strenuous activities to ensure your body can focus on healing. Having a cozy space to rest will help support a quicker and more comfortable recovery.

Quit Smoking

Smoking can slow healing and increase the risk of complications. It’s advised to stop smoking at least 4-6 weeks before surgery and during recovery.

Discontinue Medications

Some medications, especially blood thinners, should be stopped before surgery. Discuss all medications and supplements with your dentist.

Limit Alcohol Consumption

Alcohol can interfere with anesthesia and recovery. Avoid drinking for at least 1-2 weeks before the procedure.

Markings and Preparation

Pre-Surgical Sedation and Anesthesia

Depending on the complexity of the surgery, you’ll receive either local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia to ensure your comfort and pain-free experience.

The Surgery

The surgeon will make small, discreet incisions either around the areola or under the chest to remove excess glandular tissue and/or fat. Liposuction may be used in some cases for better contouring. The surgery typically lasts 1-3 hours.

Treatment Recovery

Your recovery after gynecomastia surgery is key to achieving the best results. Here’s what to expect:

Post-Operative Care and Hospital Stay

Gynecomastia surgery is usually an outpatient procedure, meaning you’ll return home the same day. However, you may stay overnight for observation if necessary.

Follow-Up Appointments

You’ll have follow-up appointments with your surgeon to check the progress of your healing. Your surgeon will monitor for swelling, bruising, and ensure that your chest is healing properly.

Compression Garments

You will likely need to wear compression garments for a few weeks to reduce swelling and support the healing tissue.

Activity Restrictions

Rest is crucial for proper healing. Avoid heavy lifting, strenuous exercise, and physical activities for at least 4-6 weeks after surgery to prevent complications and optimize results.

Scarring

Incisions are typically made discreetly around the areola or in natural creases under the chest to minimize visible scarring. Over time, scars will fade, though they may not disappear completely.

Throughout your recovery, our team will be there to support you. Should you have any concerns or questions, we are always available to ensure your healing goes smoothly, and you feel confident in your results.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is gynecomastia surgery, and how does it work?

Gynecomastia surgery, or male breast reduction, is a procedure designed to remove excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to create a flatter, more masculine chest. It typically involves making incisions around the areola or under the chest to remove or reduce tissue.

2. Am I a good candidate for gynecomastia surgery?

Ideal candidates are men who are bothered by enlarged or disproportionate breast tissue and are in good overall health. It's important to have realistic expectations and be free of any medical conditions that may affect healing.

3. What is the recovery time after gynecomastia surgery?

Most patients can return to light activities within 1-2 weeks, but full recovery takes around 4-6 weeks. Swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort are common but will subside over time. You should avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting during recovery.

4. Are the results of gynecomastia surgery permanent?

Yes, the results are permanent. Once the excess tissue is removed, it typically doesn’t grow back. However, future weight changes or hormonal imbalances can affect the appearance of the chest.

5. Is gynecomastia surgery painful?

Gynecomastia surgery is performed under anesthesia, so you won’t feel pain during the procedure. Post-surgery discomfort, swelling, and bruising are common but can be managed with prescribed medications.

6. How long will it take to see the final results of gynecomastia surgery?

While the initial results can be seen after a few weeks, the final results may take 3-6 months as swelling completely subsides and the chest contours settle into their new shape.

7. What is the difference between a facelift and a mini facelift?

A full facelift targets both the lower face and neck, lifting more tissue for a more dramatic result, while a mini facelift focuses on the lower face and is less invasive with shorter recovery time.
