Male breast reduction surgery (gynecomastia) is one of the most important cosmetic procedures in Turkey, aiming to treat a common condition that many men suffer from. Gynecomastia can result from genetic factors, obesity, rapid weight loss, or the use of certain medications like corticosteroids.
Impact of Gynecomastia on Men’s Lives
This issue negatively affects men’s self-confidence, as it prevents them from wearing clothes that suit their age and body shape.

Steps of Male Breast Reduction Surgery
Male breast reduction is a relatively simple surgical procedure, where the specialist consultant examines the lower chest area and surrounding tissue to determine the appropriate procedure.
- The surgery typically lasts between one to two hours, depending on the patient’s condition.
- It can be performed under local anesthesia or general anesthesia based on the patient’s needs.
- After the procedure, the patient will have a more proportionate chest that better suits their body shape, enhancing their comfort and self-confidence.
