Gynecomastia Surgery in Istanbul
Effective and Personalized Male Breast Reduction by Belizza Health
Gynecomastia, or enlarged male breasts, is a common condition that can affect men of all ages. It can lead to physical discomfort and emotional distress, especially when it interferes with confidence or body image. At Belizza Health, we offer advanced gynecomastia surgery in Istanbul, tailored to the severity and cause of your condition. Our approach combines liposuction, surgical excision, or a combination of both—with VASER and laser-assisted techniques used when necessary for optimal outcomes.
What Is Gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia is the benign enlargement of male breast tissue due to hormonal imbalances, genetics, weight fluctuations, or certain medications. It should not be confused with fat accumulation alone. True gynecomastia involves glandular tissue, which may not respond to diet or exercise.
Treatment Options for Gynecomastia
Depending on the composition of the breast enlargement (fat vs gland), different treatment strategies are used:
1. Liposuction-Based Gynecomastia Surgery
When the enlargement is primarily due to excess fat, liposuction is often sufficient. This minimally invasive technique involves the removal of fat through small incisions using cannulas.
Advanced methods such as VASER or laser-assisted liposuction may be recommended in the following cases:
- When the fat is dense and fibrous (common in long-standing gynecomastia)
- To enhance skin tightening and avoid sagging after fat removal
- To improve chest definition and symmetry
VASER (Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance) uses ultrasound energy to break down fat while preserving surrounding tissues, nerves, and blood vessels—offering better contouring with less trauma.
Laser-assisted liposuction helps stimulate collagen production, which tightens the overlying skin—especially helpful for men with mild skin laxity.
2. Surgical Excision
If there is a significant amount of glandular tissue or loose skin, liposuction alone is not enough. In such cases, surgical removal of breast tissue is performed through a small incision around the areola.
Surgical excision is essential when:
- There is firm glandular tissue behind the nipple
- The patient has severe gynecomastia or sagging skin
- Liposuction has previously failed or is not indicated
In more advanced cases, skin tightening or repositioning of the nipple may also be required to restore a masculine chest contour.
What to Expect from the Procedure
- Performed under general or local anesthesia
- Duration: 1–2 hours depending on the complexity
- Same-day discharge in most cases
- Compression garments are worn post-op to support healing and reduce swelling
- Most patients return to daily activities within 5 to 7 days
Final results continue to improve over several weeks as swelling resolves.
