Gynecomastia surgery, also known as male breast reduction, is a procedure to reduce the size of enlarged breasts in men. This condition is typically caused by an imbalance of hormones, and the surgery helps in restoring a flatter and more masculine contour to the chest.
The procedure is usually carried out under general anesthesia. It involves liposuction to remove excess fatty tissue and may also include the excision of glandular tissue if necessary. The surgery generally lasts about 1 to 3 hours depending on the extent of the correction needed.
Patients typically spend one day in the hospital followed by a recovery period in a hotel, usually lasting 3 to 4 days. It is essential during this time to wear the provided compression garment to help reduce swelling and support the new chest contour. Follow-up examinations ensure that recovery is on track, and any concerns can be promptly addressed.
As with any surgical procedure, there are potential risks which may include infection, bleeding, scarring, and reactions to anesthesia. However, choosing a reputable clinic and experienced surgeon can significantly minimize these risks.
Ideal candidates are those experiencing physical discomfort or self-consciousness associated with enlarged breasts. Candidates should be healthy, near their ideal body weight, and should not have life-threatening illnesses or conditions that could impair healing.
The cost of gynecomastia surgery in Turkey can vary depending on the specifics of the case and the chosen clinic, but it is generally more affordable compared to the UK. Prices for comprehensive treatment packages range from approximately £2,000 to £4,200.
Patients often praise the high level of care provided in Turkish clinics. For instance, Dr. Ece Kalafatlar has been highlighted for her expertise and attentive follow-up care. The modern facilities and the professionalism of the staff, along with comprehensive care packages that include accommodation and transfers, make Turkey a favourable destination for this surgery.
Turkey offers a combination of experienced surgeons, state-of-the-art medical facilities, and comprehensive care packages that make it an attractive destination for medical tourists, especially from the UK. The inclusive packages which cover consultations, hospital stays, and luxury hotel accommodations provide significant value compared to the costs in the UK.
