Gynecomastia

What is Gynecomastia?

Gynecomastia is a common condition in males, characterized by excess breast tissue growth, often caused by hormonal imbalance, genetics, certain medications, or weight fluctuations.

When the enlarged breast tissue persists despite diet or exercise, gynecomastia surgery offers a permanent, effective solution by removing the excess tissue and restoring a flatter, firmer, and more masculine chest appearance.

Who is Affected by Gynecomastia?

🔹 Adolescent males with hormone-related breast growth
🔹 Adults with persistent chest fullness or puffy nipples
🔹 Men who’ve lost weight but still have localized fat in the chest
🔹 Bodybuilders or athletes with glandular enlargement (often confused with fat)
🔹 Men with asymmetrical chest shape

Benefits of Gynecomastia Surgery

✅ Restores a flat, contoured chest
✅ Boosts self-esteem and body confidence
✅ Eliminates the need to hide behind clothing
✅ Improves posture and physical performance
✅ Permanent results with minimal scarring

Who is a Good Candidate?

✔ You’re bothered by excess breast tissue or chest fat
✔ You have tried exercise and diet without success
✔ Your breast growth has stabilized (not fluctuating due to puberty or medications)
✔ You’re physically healthy, emotionally stable, and close to ideal weight
✔ You do not smoke or are willing to stop before/after surgery

Procedure Overview

Anesthesia: Local with sedation or general anesthesia

Duration: 1 to 2 hours

Technique Options:
🔸 Liposuction: for fatty gynecomastia
🔸 Glandular excision: for firm, fibrous tissue under the nipple
🔸 Combination approach: most common — lipo + excision
🔸 Areola reduction or skin tightening (if necessary)

Incisions: Typically hidden around the areola or in natural chest folds

Recovery Timeline

🕒 Days 1–3: Mild swelling, tightness, compression vest worn
🕒 Week 1: Return to light activity; bruising fades
🕒 Weeks 2–3: Resume work and normal daily life
🕒 Week 6+: Return to chest exercises, gym, and full movement
🕒 Months 3–6: Final chest definition appears

You’ll need to wear a compression garment for several weeks to optimize healing and contour.

Are the Results Permanent?

Yes. Once the glandular tissue is removed, gynecomastia does not come back — unless triggered again by hormonal changes, certain drugs, or weight gain.
Liposuctioned fat cells also do not return if you maintain a healthy lifestyle.

  • Gynecomastia is the enlargement of male breast tissue caused by hormonal imbalance, medications, medical conditions, or lifestyle factors. It is a benign condition and not related to male breast cancer in most cases.

  • Gynecomastia is usually not dangerous. However, if breast enlargement is sudden, painful, or accompanied by nipple discharge or hard lumps, medical evaluation is recommended.

  • The most common cause is an imbalance between estrogen and testosterone. Other causes include certain medications, anabolic steroids, obesity, liver or thyroid disorders, and aging.

  • In adolescents, gynecomastia often resolves naturally within 6–24 months. In adults, especially when glandular tissue has developed, it is less likely to disappear without treatment.

Gynecomastia Surgery Turkey

Gynecomastia is the enlargement of male breast tissue caused by excess fat, glandular tissue, or both. This condition often leads to self-consciousness and discomfort. At Medicape Health, we provide advanced gynecomastia surgery in Turkey designed not only to restore a flatter, more masculine chest appearance but also to boost self-confidence.

Depending on the individual case, the procedure may involve:

Liposuction – to remove excess fat deposits.

Glandular excision – to surgically remove dense glandular tissue.

Combination techniques – a blend of liposuction and excision for optimal results.

Most surgeries take 1-2 hours and are performed under local or general anesthesia. Patients are usually discharged within 1-2 days, and recovery is supported with compression garments, wound care, and follow-up consultations.
