Gynecomastia Turkey - Redo Plastic Surgery

What is a Gynecomastia Surgery?

Gynecomastia surgery is a procedure that reduces the size of male breasts, creating a chest contour that is flatter and more masculine. The condition itself can be a result of excess glandular tissue, excess fatty tissue, or a combination of both. The surgical approach is tailored to the patient’s specific anatomy and may involve liposuction to remove fat, surgical excision to remove dense glandular tissue, or most commonly, a combination of both techniques to achieve the most effective and smooth contour.

Before & After

Who is it for?

This procedure is designed for healthy men and adolescents who are bothered by the appearance of enlarged breasts that have not resolved with time or lifestyle changes. Ideal candidates are at a stable weight and have good skin elasticity, which allows the skin to retract properly after the underlying tissue is removed. It is a powerful solution for anyone who feels self-conscious, avoids certain activities like swimming, or wears loose clothing to hide the appearance of their chest.

Benefits of the Procedure

The benefits of gynecomastia surgery are profound, offering a significant improvement in quality of life. The primary gain is the creation of a masculine chest profile, which provides an immense psychological boost and resolves what is often a long-held source of embarrassment. This physical transformation leads directly to a dramatic increase in self-confidence, allowing patients to feel comfortable and uninhibited in fitted shirts, at the gym, or at the beach. Ultimately, the procedure restores a sense of normalcy and positive body image.

How is it Done?

Consultation: A physical examination is crucial to determine the cause of the gynecomastia (glandular, fatty, or mixed) and to create the appropriate surgical plan. Anesthesia: The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia for complete comfort. Surgical Technique: Liposuction: If the gynecomastia is primarily due to excess fat, liposuction alone may be used. Small cannulas remove the fat through tiny incisions. Excision: If glandular tissue is the cause, it must be surgically removed. An incision is typically made discreetly along the edge of the areola. Combination: Most often, liposuction is performed first to remove the fatty component, followed by an excision of the dense glandular tissue through the areolar incision. Duration: The surgery generally takes between 1 to 3 hours.

Recovery & Aftercare

First Week: You will wear a compression vest to minimize swelling and support the new chest contour. Bruising and soreness are expected. Most patients can return to a desk job or light activities within a week. Weeks 4-6: The compression vest must be worn as directed by your surgeon. It is critical to avoid heavy lifting and strenuous chest exercises (like push-ups or weightlifting) for at least 4-6 weeks. Final Results: You will see an immediate improvement, but the final, defined chest contour will be visible after 3-6 months when all swelling has completely resolved.

What causes gynecomastia?

It can be caused by hormonal imbalances during puberty, genetics, certain medications, or weight gain. Often, there is no single identifiable cause.

Is the surgery painful?

Post-operative discomfort, soreness, and tightness are normal and are managed effectively with prescribed pain medication.

Will the scars be noticeable?

The incision is typically placed along the lower edge of the areola, where it blends in with the darker pigmented skin, making it very discreet once healed.

Will the gynecomastia come back?

The results are permanent, as the removed glandular tissue and fat cells do not grow back. However, significant weight gain can cause remaining fat cells in the chest to enlarge.

What is the compression vest for?

The compression vest is crucial for minimizing swelling, preventing fluid collection, and helping the skin conform to the new, flatter chest contour for the best possible result.

Risks & Considerations

At Redo, we ensure you are fully informed. Potential risks of gynecomastia surgery include scarring, contour irregularities, asymmetry, changes in nipple sensation, or fluid collection (seroma/hematoma). The surgeon’s skill in smoothly blending the surgical area with the rest of the chest is critical to avoiding an “operated” look and minimizing these risks.
