Gynecomastia Surgery in Turkey

If you feel self-conscious about your chest due to excess volume or puffy nipples that don’t respond to diet or exercise, you’re not alone. Gynecomastia is a common condition in men caused by a hormonal imbalance, genetics, certain medications, or idiopathic (unknown) factors — leading to a more feminine breast appearance.
For many men, this causes emotional distress, low self-confidence, or avoidance of social and intimate situations. Gynecomastia surgery (male breast reduction) is a safe and permanent solution that removes excess breast gland tissue, fat, or both to restore a flatter, firmer, and more masculine chest.
At Clinic Phaselis in Antalya, Turkey, we specialise in personalised gynecomastia treatments. Depending on your case, your surgery may involve liposuction, surgical excision, or a combination of both. Our certified surgeons tailor each procedure to ensure natural results with minimal scarring. Your experience is fully supported by our English-speaking medical team and protected by 100% medical travel insurance — from your first consultation to full recovery.

Why Men Choose Gynecomastia Surgery

Choosing male breast reduction is about regaining confidence and comfort in your body. Men typically consider gynecomastia surgery when they experience:

  • A visibly enlarged chest that does not improve with exercise
  • Embarrassment during intimacy, at the gym, or while shirtless
  • Clothing that clings uncomfortably or highlights the chest area
  • Puffy nipples or feminine breast contours that lower self-esteem
  • Discomfort in physical activity due to breast volume or skin stretching

This surgery is life-changing for many of our patients. It helps them feel masculine, wear what they want, and enjoy social moments without insecurity. With our advanced techniques, scars are minimal and well-concealed — and your chest looks and feels naturally flat.

FAQ

Gynecomastia is the medical term for the enlargement of male breast tissue. It occurs when excess fat, glandular tissue, or both accumulate in the chest area — often resulting in a more feminine-looking chest, which may affect one or both sides.

Gynecomastia may result from hormonal imbalances, genetics, chronic conditions, certain medications, or steroid use. In many cases, the exact cause remains unknown (idiopathic). A consultation with our surgeons will help determine the likely source in your case.

You may be an ideal candidate if:

  • You’re in good general health
  • Your chest hasn’t responded to exercise or weight loss
  • You do not have untreated hormonal disorders
  • You feel self-conscious or limited in clothing, sports, or intimacy

Our team will assess your anatomy and health to ensure this procedure is right for you.

Male breast reduction typically takes 1 to 2 hours, depending on the volume of tissue to be removed and whether liposuction, surgical excision, or both are required.

You’ll experience some bruising, swelling, and tightness in the chest. Most patients:

  • Wear a compression vest for 4–6 weeks to reduce swelling
  • Are advised to rest for several days and avoid strenuous activity
  • Can return to work after 5–7 days, once drains (if used) are removed
    You’ll recover in our luxury hotel with daily check-ins by a doctor and 24/7 nurse support.
Unfortunately, no. While exercise helps reduce chest fat, it does not remove dense glandular tissue. Many patients are frustrated to find that no matter how hard they train, their chest remains puffy or swollen — surgery is the only definitive solution.
Yes. Our surgeons specialise in masculine, natural-looking contours. We take care to maintain harmony with your body proportions and minimise visible scarring. You’ll regain confidence in fitted clothing, gym settings, and everyday life.

Scars are typically:

  • Hidden in the natural creases under the armpit or chest
  • Around the areola (only in more extensive cases involving gland excision or lift)
    These scars fade significantly within the first year and are easily camouflaged over time.
The results are usually permanent, especially if you maintain a healthy weight and avoid triggers like steroids or specific medications. Rare cases of recurrence may happen if underlying causes return or worsen.
Gynecomastia surgery is generally very safe when performed by experienced surgeons.
The most common minor complication is a small collection of blood (hematoma), which can usually be drained with a needle and does not pose a serious threat. You’re also fully covered by our 100% medical travel insurance, giving you peace of mind throughout your journey.
