Two main methods are used in male breast enlargement surgery: Liposuction and surgical removal of excess tissue (excision). Dr. Görkem Çalışkan determines the best technique for you according to your examination and ultrasound results.
If the growth in the breast is mainly caused by fat tissue, modern liposuction methods like Vaser Lipolysis or Laser Lipolysis are used to remove fat and tighten the skin. If there is excess hard breast gland tissue, this tissue is removed (excision) through minimal incisions around the nipple or its fold. Most of the time, these two methods are used simultaneously (combined) to achieve the most perfect, flat, and masculine chest structure.

If gynecomastia surgery is performed with liposuction, you will be discharged on the same day. If the excision method is added, you are usually hosted in the hospital for 1 day. Thin drains placed to collect inner tissue fluids are typically removed on the 2nd day after surgery.
The most important step after the operation is to regularly use the special athletic-type medical corset recommended by Op. Dr. Görkem Çalışkan. You should not take this corset off day or night for the first 20-30 days so that the skin fully adheres to the new chest muscle form and tightens. In the following period, using tight recovery undershirts until the 3rd month will support the perfection of the result.

In Vaser or Laser Lipolysis methods, the operation is performed only through millimetric cannula entries, so no obvious scar remains after surgery. When surgical tissue removal (excision) is required, the incisions are hidden at the lower border of the brown ring around the nipple. Thanks to Dr. Görkem Çalışkan’s meticulous aesthetic stitching methods, these small scars blend with your skin color at the end of the 1-year healing process and fade to the point of being unnoticeable from the outside.

You can easily return to your daily social routine and desk job within a few days after gynecomastia surgery. However, to avoid straining your chest muscles and disrupting the healing process, you should take a break from weight training and strenuous physical activities for a while. After 4 weeks have passed since the surgery, you can gradually return to your sports life without overexerting yourself.

If the underlying cause of male breast enlargement is correctly identified and treated before surgery, gynecomastia surgery is a permanent method. If the surgery is performed before the hormonal fluctuations in adolescence end or before the use of a drug that triggers breast growth is stopped, the problem may recur in the future.
For this reason, Op. Dr. Görkem Çalışkan conducts a detailed medical history inquiry and examination process before the surgery to find the root cause. As long as the factor causing the growth (wrong drug use, active hormone disorder, etc.) is eliminated and you maintain your healthy weight, the masculine chest form you achieved will stay with you for a lifetime.
