Male breast reduction, also known as gynecomastia correction, is a surgical procedure to treat overdeveloped male breasts or gynecomastia – a condition in which male breasts are enlarged due to imbalance of the hormones estrogen and testosterone. The procedure is usually performed on men whose physical health is affected by the condition or men who feel uncomfortable or self-conscious about their chest. The ideal candidates for this procedure are healthy men with skin that is elastic to adjust to breast reduction.
Male breast reduction is carried out under general anesthetic or local anesthetic with sedation. The procedure starts by making an incision around the nipple to remove fat as well as glandular tissue from the breast, as well as some excess skin. In some cases, your surgeon may also perform liposuction in conjunction with the procedure to remove fat. The final step of the procedure is closing the incisions with stitches.
The procedure is usually performed on an outpatient basis, meaning you can leave the hospital on the same day of the surgery. However, you should not leave Cyprus immediately to allow your body to recover and attend follow-up hospital checkups. Plan to stay in the country for at least 5 to 10 more days.
The total recovery period until you can go back to your full routine can take around a month. However, some people whose jobs are not physically demanding are able to return to work as well as some of their activities in 1-2 weeks.
Your surgeon will give you detailed instructions on how to care for your surgical wounds as well as diet and exercise to avoid complications. You may need to wear a pressure garment during your recovery period to reduce bruising and swelling. To maintain the result of your surgery, make sure to maintain a healthy weight by making some healthy lifestyle changes.
The procedure is generally safe and highly successful. However, just like other types of surgery, it carries some degree of side effects and risks that you need to be aware of. The side effects and risks include skin injury, noticeable scar, permanent pigment changes in the breast, slightly mismatched nipples or breasts, loss of breast sensation, numbness, and excessive bleeding.
Male breast reduction is currently the most effective treatment to reduce enlarged male breasts. If you do not want to undergo surgery, you need to consult with your doctor about what your best options are. In some cases, your doctor may recommend liposuction to remove excess fat from your breasts, but leaving breast gland tissue intact.
Before male breast reduction, your enlarged breast may affect you physically or you may feel very self-conscious. After the procedure, your self-esteem and self-confidence may increase significantly and any physical problems you experience before the procedure should be gone.

Cyprus is an island country in the Mediterranean Sea. The country is famous for its mineral wealth, splendid wines, dazzling beaches, and compelling culture. In addition, Cyprus is filled with classical ruins and century-old monasteries, and as the legendary birthplace of Aphrodite, it is also steeped in mythology. Due to its huge array of modern private medical centers equipped with excellent service, cutting-edge technology, and skilled doctors, Cyprus is also a thriving medical tourism destination. Foreign patients from all around the globe come to this country for a vast range of medical treatments, particularly bariatric surgery, cardiology, cosmetic and plastic surgery, and fertility treatments. Its spa and well-being resorts are also welcoming an increasing number of international medical tourists.
The majority of tourists start their trip to Cyprus in Larnaca, it is the oldest city in Cyprus. It has a vast array of historical monuments, including Ayios Lazaros (the Church of Saint Lazarus), Stavrovouni Monastery, and Larnaca Medieval Castle. Besides its ancient buildings, Mackenzie Beach and Larnaca Marina are also popular among tourists. Not too far from Larnaca is Paphos, a charming city with exquisite natural beauty and all sorts of ancient ruins. The most popular attractions in this city include the Tombs of the Kings, the Old Town, Early Christian Basilica-St Paul’s Pillar, and Paphos UNESCO Archaeological Park. Nicosia, Cyprus’ capital, is also a popular destination.
Cyprus experiences a Mediterranean climate with four seasons and over 300 days of sunshine a year. The summer is long, warm, and dry, lasting from mid-May to mid-October. The winter starts in December and ends in February, bringing mild temperatures and more rain showers. Autumn and spring are short, but there is good weather.
The main international gateway to Cyprus is Larnaca International airport. It serves international flights to many cities around Europe and the Middle East, including Kyiv, Abu Dhabi, London, and Moscow. In the south, the intercity bus system is reliable and great, but in the north, the bus services are often unreliable and do not seem to follow a timetable. Taxis are a safe and relatively inexpensive option. In the south, there are three types of taxi services: urban, trans-urban or interurban (shared and can be booked), and rural. In the north, taxis are only available in the main towns. Inside towns, buses are the best way to get around for those looking for a more affordable option. Taxis are more expensive, but they do offer more flexibility.
Nationals of EU countries, the United States, Australia, Canada, Britain, Iceland, Japan, and several other countries do not need a visa to visit and stay in Cyprus for up to 90 days. Other countries not listed in the visa-free agreement need to apply for a visa before entering Cyprus. It is best to consult the Cypriot Ministry of Foreign Affairs or contact the embassy to learn more about visa requirements.
