About the Operation

Gynecomastia is the abnormal enlargement of glandular or fatty tissue in one or both male breasts (female-type breast growth). Surgery is the most effective solution for this aesthetic problem that does not resolve with exercise or diet. It is performed via liposuction (vacuum-assisted fat removal) or the excision of firm, fibrous glandular tissue (gland) through a minimal incision around the nipple. This restores the man's athletic appearance and provides significant psychological relief.

Application Details

  • 1If fat is the predominant component, Vaser/Laser Liposuction is performed using thin cannulas.
  • 2If the gland (mammary gland) is denser, it is directly excised through a crescent-shaped incision.
  • 3Depending on the tissue composition, a compression gynecomastia vest is worn for only 3–4 weeks post-procedure.

Who Is It Suitable For?

  • Men who cannot wear fitted T-shirts due to breast size and feel the need to conceal it
  • Patients with female-type breast glands that have not regressed since puberty and have asymmetric chests
  • Individuals with swollen nipples due to steroid use or hormonal causes
