Gynecomastia

Enlargement of mammary gland tissue and accumulation of fat around the breast tissue can occur in young and adult men. This is called gynecomastia. In young men, the cause is usually a hormonal imbalance, while in adults, fat accumulation is typically due to being overweight. Growth can also result from taking anabolic steroids.  

In young men, the glandular tissue usually shrinks on its own as puberty ends. If not, and you have tenderness or cosmetic discomfort, you may consider gynecomastia surgery.

Who are the Ideal Candidates for Gynecomastia?

Ideal candidates for gynecomastia in Turkey are men who experience enlargement of mammary gland tissue. These can advantageously treat surgically. Breast tissue is mainly composed of glandular tissue components and adipose tissue components. Therefore, it is often advantageous if the treatment combines liposuction and surgical tissue removal.

During the consultation, our specialist will ensure the benign growth of the mammary gland tissue. Sometimes additional tests may be required. The surgeon can operate under local anesthesia, but complete anesthesia may be necessary depending on the extent of the problem.
