Male Chest Reduction (Gynecomastia) surgery in Turkey

Before chest reduction surgery, a detailed medical evaluation is carried out to assess the patient’s overall health and identify any existing conditions that could increase the risk of complications during or after the procedure.

Patients are usually advised to stop smoking and avoid certain medications that could interfere with the surgery or recovery.

They will also receive specific pre-operative instructions, such as avoiding food and drink for a set period before the operation. In addition, the surgeon may recommend stopping certain supplements or medications that could raise the risk of bleeding.

Immediately after chest reduction surgery, some discomfort, swelling, and bruising are normal and can usually be managed with pain medication and cold compresses.

Patients are generally advised to avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting for at least several weeks after the procedure, and to carefully follow the surgeon’s instructions regarding wound care and any prescribed medication.

In most cases, normal daily activities can be resumed within a few weeks.

Possible complications related specifically to chest reduction surgery can include chest asymmetry or uneven contour, visible scarring, temporary or permanent changes in nipple sensitivity, and irregularities in the skin surface.

In uncommon cases, the excess breast tissue may develop again after the procedure.
