Gynecomastia Surgery
Achieve a Firmer, More Masculine Chest with Male Breast Reduction
Enlarged male breasts, a common condition known as gynecomastia, can be a significant source of embarrassment and reduced self-esteem. It can affect your choice of clothing and make you feel self-conscious in situations like visiting the gym or the beach. Male breast reduction surgery is a safe and highly effective procedure designed to correct this issue, restoring a flatter, firmer, and more masculine chest contour.
A Tailored Solution for a Masculine Chest
Gynecomastia can be caused by excess fatty tissue, excess glandular tissue, or a combination of both. Our expert surgical approach in Antalya is therefore tailored to your specific condition:
-
Liposuction: If the enlargement is primarily due to excess fat, liposuction is used to remove it through small, discreet incisions, sculpting a more defined chest.
-
Excision (Surgical Removal): When excess glandular tissue (which is firmer and does not respond to liposuction) is present, it is removed surgically, typically through a small incision made around the areola.
In many cases, a combination of both techniques is used to achieve the optimal, most natural-looking masculine contour.
The Confidence-Restoring Benefits
This procedure is designed to deliver a profound positive change, both physically and psychologically:
-
A Flatter, Firmer Chest: The primary goal is to create a chest that is masculine in appearance.
-
Improved Physical Comfort: Alleviates any tenderness or discomfort associated with the condition.
-
Renewed Self-Confidence: Feel the freedom to wear fitted clothing and go shirtless without feeling self-conscious.
-
A Permanent Correction: The removed tissue will not grow back, providing a lasting solution.
Your Gynecomastia Surgery Journey
We provide a clear, discreet, and supportive process from beginning to end.
-
Procedure Duration: The surgery is efficient, typically lasting between 1 to 2 hours.
-
Anaesthesia: It can be comfortably performed under either local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia.
-
Recovery and Return to a Full Routine: A return to light activities is usually possible within 1 week. More strenuous exercise, especially involving the chest muscles, should be avoided for 4 to 6 weeks. A compression garment is worn during recovery to support healing and minimise swelling.
-
Longevity of Results: The results are permanent, provided you maintain a stable weight and there are no underlying hormonal imbalances that require treatment.
-
Potential Risks: As with any surgery, there are risks, though they are uncommon. These can include asymmetry, contour irregularities, or, in rare cases, recurrence if an underlying medical cause is not addressed.
