Gynecomastia surgery is a surgical procedure to fix the appearance of the breasts due to enlargement or sagging of breast tissue in men. Gynecomastia may occur due to hormonal imbalances, genetic factors or medicine use. Gynecomastia surgery is an effective option to fix the appearance of breast tissue in men.

How is Gynecomastia Surgery Performed?

The surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia and our doctor removes the breast tissue by making small incisions under the breasts or around the nipple. A more aesthetic appearance is obtained by reducing the breast tissue and correcting the shape of the breasts.

Healing Process

After gynecomastia surgery, patients usually stay in the hospital for a few days and the recovery process takes a few weeks. After the surgery, the patient may need to use a bandage or chest corset for a while.

What To Do

• You may need to use a corset or bandage for a certain period of time after the operation.
• During the first few days after the operation, you should lie on your back while lying down. This will help reduce swelling.

What You Should Avoid

• You should avoid heavy exercise or excessive physical activity for the first few days.
• For the first few days, you should avoid toxic substances such as alcohol and cigarettes. These substances can adversely affect the healing process.
• Avoid taking hot showers or baths in the first few weeks after the operation. This can increase the risk of infection at the surgical site.
• After the procedure, you should avoid exposure to water such as pool, sea and jacuzzi for a certain period of time. Water can increase the risk of infection of the treated area and delay the healing process
