Gynecomastia Surgery (Male Breast Reduction) in Turkey
Male breast reduction by specialist plastic surgeons in Istanbul — for a flatter, firmer chest.
Gynecomastia surgery — male breast reduction — with GlobMedTrust removes excess gland tissue and fat from the chest, for a flatter, more masculine contour.
What Is Gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia is enlarged breast tissue in men. It is common and can affect one side or both. Diet and exercise reduce fat but not gland tissue, which is why surgery is often the only way to flatten the chest.
Depending on your chest, the surgeon removes the gland tissue through a small incision at the edge of the areola, removes fat with liposuction, or combines both. Where there is excess skin, it is removed too.
Who Is It For?
For men whose enlarged chest does not go away with weight loss or exercise. During your medical review, your surgeon assesses which technique suits you.

Recovery
You can walk from day 1. The main swelling settles after about one week, and your final result shows after 3–6 months. You spend 2 nights in hospital and stay 6–7 nights in Istanbul in total, from arrival to the flight home.
What gynecomastia surgery costs
Treatment in Turkey often costs less than in the UK or US.
Your price depends mainly on these factors: how much gland tissue and fat is removed; whether excess skin is removed too; your package and length of stay.
Every package includes the surgery and your hospital stay; Comfort and Imperial add the hotel, transfers and full aftercare.
Your price comes down to your chest: how much gland tissue and fat need removing, and whether skin too. In a medical review, our medical team assesses exactly that from your photos and medical history and gives you your personal quote.
