Gynecomastia Surgery in Turkey
Gynecomastia, or enlarged male breast tissue, affects up to 70% of men at some point in their lives. Turkey offers effective surgical correction with experienced plastic surgeons and minimal scarring techniques.
What Causes Gynecomastia?
Hormonal imbalances, certain medications, obesity, ageing, and genetic factors can cause gynecomastia. When the condition does not resolve with lifestyle changes, surgical correction provides a permanent solution.
Surgical Techniques
- Liposuction Only: For cases primarily involving fatty tissue
- Excision: Removing glandular tissue through a small incision around the areola
- Combined: Liposuction plus excision for the best results
Recovery
A compression garment is worn for 4-6 weeks. Light activities can resume after 1 week, full exercise after 4-6 weeks. Results are immediately visible and improve as swelling resolves. Cost in Turkey: £1,500-£3,000, compared to £4,000-£6,000 in the UK.
