Gynecomastia Surgery in Turkey | Male Breast Reduction by Dr. Hakkı İzmirli
Gynecomastia Surgery (Male Breast Reduction) in Istanbul
Gynecomastia is a condition that affects men, causing the enlargement of breast tissue. It can be a source of embarrassment and self-consciousness for those who experience it. Fortunately, gynecomastia surgery offers a solution to this problem.
Gynecomastia surgery, also known as male breast reduction surgery, is a procedure that aims to reduce the size of the breasts in men. It involves the removal of excess fat and glandular tissue, resulting in a flatter and more masculine chest contour.
One of the key factors to consider when thinking about gynecomastia surgery is the cost. In Turkey, gynecomastia surgery is known for its affordability and high-quality medical care. The cost of the surgery may vary depending on several factors, such as the extent of the procedure and the surgeon's experience.
Op.Dr.Hakkı İzmirli is a renowned plastic surgeon in Turkey who specializes in gynecomastia surgery. With years of experience and a commitment to patient satisfaction, Dr. Izmirli has helped numerous men regain their confidence and achieve their desired chest appearance.
Why Gynecomastia Occurs?
Gynecomastia is the enlargement of male breast tissue caused by an imbalance between estrogen and testosterone levels. It may appear during puberty, persist into adulthood, or develop later due to genetics, hormonal changes, medications, or lifestyle factors.
While exercise and weight loss can reduce excess fat, glandular tissue cannot be removed without surgery. Gynecomastia surgery (male breast reduction) provides a permanent, masculine contour by eliminating the underlying tissue.
Surgical Techniques Offered?
At Dr. Hakkı İzmirli’s Aesthetic Clinic in Istanbul, gynecomastia correction is tailored to each patient’s chest structure, skin quality, and degree of glandular versus fatty tissue.
Common techniques include:
Liposuction-only technique: Ideal for patients with soft, fatty enlargement and firm skin elasticity. Small incisions allow removal of fat via microcannulas, resulting in minimal scarring.
Glandular excision: When dense glandular tissue is present beneath the nipple-areolar complex, it is surgically excised through a small semi-circular incision along the areola edge.
Combined method: A hybrid approach using both liposuction and direct excision for optimal contour correction.
In severe or skin-excess cases, excess skin may also be trimmed to achieve a flat, masculine chest.
Recovery Timeline
Recovery after gynecomastia surgery is typically smooth and comfortable.
Most patients return to desk work within 3–5 days.
Light exercise can resume after 2 weeks.
Full gym activity and chest training are usually allowed at 4–6 weeks.
Wearing a compression garment for the first few weeks helps minimize swelling and supports the chest contour.
Mild bruising or tightness may occur initially, but visible results appear as early as 2 weeks, with final definition developing over several months.

Have persistent chest fullness despite a healthy lifestyle
