Gynecomastia surgery in Baku
Correction of enlarged breast tissue in men with liposuction, gland removal or both, after the cause has been checked.
Typical figures. The exact plan is confirmed by the treating doctor after the medical review.
Gynecomastia surgery in Baku is performed at licensed clinics by plastic surgeons. Gynecomastia is an enlargement of the breast tissue in men, which may be caused by hormonal changes, certain medicines, weight gain or other conditions. Before any operation the cause should be checked, and an endocrinologist may be involved. When surgery is appropriate, the surgeon may use liposuction, removal of the gland tissue or both.
You start by sending photos, which are seen only by the surgeon, together with your health details, the medicines you take and any hormone tests or ultrasound reports. The surgeon gives a preliminary opinion, and we send a written estimate before you travel. All communication is handled discreetly. The plan is confirmed in Baku after an examination and tests, and patients usually stay 7 to 10 days.
Who it may suit
- Adult men with enlarged breast tissue that has not reduced over time
- Those in whom the cause has been assessed and conditions that need other treatment have been excluded
- Men with a stable weight, since weight loss alone may reduce fat in the chest
- Men who are ready to stop substances that may cause gynecomastia, such as anabolic steroids, if the doctor advises
- Patients in good general health whose fitness for anaesthesia is confirmed by the doctors
How the procedure is organised
-
1
Review of your documents
You send confidential photos of the chest, your height and weight, a list of medicines and supplements and any hormone tests, ultrasound or endocrinologist reports. The surgeon gives a preliminary opinion, and we prepare a written estimate.
-
2
Checking the cause
If the cause has not been assessed yet, the doctors may recommend hormone blood tests, an ultrasound of the breast tissue and a consultation with an endocrinologist. In some cases treating the cause or changing a medicine comes first, and surgery is not needed or should wait.

Consultation and tests in Baku
The surgeon examines the chest to assess how much of the enlargement is fat and how much is gland tissue, and explains where the incisions will be. You have routine blood tests, an ECG and an anaesthetist assessment before the plan is confirmed.

4
Surgery day
Depending on the plan, the operation is performed under general anaesthesia or local anaesthesia with sedation. The surgeon may use liposuction, remove gland tissue through a small incision near the areola or combine both, and the removed tissue may be sent for laboratory examination. At the end you put on a compression vest.

First days and check before flying home
Swelling, bruising and tightness in the chest are common and are managed with medicines. The surgeon checks the wounds and the fit of the vest, removes stitches if needed and confirms when it is safe to fly.

Follow-up at home
You wear the vest for as long as the surgeon advises and send photos at agreed intervals. We pass on your questions, and if a cause such as a hormonal condition was found, follow-up with your own doctor continues at home.
What the cost depends on
The cost depends on whether liposuction, gland removal or both are needed, the type of anaesthesia, the stay in the clinic and the tests before surgery, including any hormone tests. A compression vest is also part of it. After the surgeon reviews your documents, we send a written estimate before you travel, so you know what is included.
- Liposuction, gland removal or a combination of both
- Type of anaesthesia and the stay in the clinic
- Hormone tests, ultrasound and an endocrinologist consultation, if needed
- Compression vest and laboratory examination of the removed tissue
- Accommodation for you and a companion
Recovery and the trip home
- Many men return to office work and light activities within one to two weeks.
- The compression vest is usually worn for several weeks to reduce swelling and support the new chest contour.
- Chest and arm training and heavy lifting are usually postponed for about four to six weeks, and the surgeon tells you when to resume.
- Flying home is generally possible after about a week, once the surgeon has checked the wounds and given permission.

Frequently asked questions
How much does gynecomastia surgery cost in Baku?
The cost depends on whether liposuction, gland removal or both are needed, the anaesthesia, the stay in the clinic and the tests. After the surgeon reviews your documents, we send you a written estimate before you travel. This way you know in advance what is included.
How is gynecomastia in men treated, and is surgery always needed?
Not always. In some men gynecomastia improves after a medicine is changed, a hormonal condition is treated or weight is reduced, and in teenagers it often settles with time. Surgery is usually considered when the enlargement persists and the cause has been checked. The doctor decides after reviewing your tests.
Is gynecomastia removed with liposuction or by removing the gland?
Liposuction removes fatty tissue, while the firmer gland tissue usually has to be removed through a small incision. Many men need a combination of both. The surgeon chooses the approach after examining the chest and reviewing an ultrasound if you have one.
Will the scars be visible?
When gland tissue is removed, the incision is usually placed along the edge of the areola, and liposuction leaves small puncture marks. Scars usually fade over time, although healing differs from person to person. If there is a lot of excess skin, techniques with longer scars may be discussed.
Is my information kept confidential?
Yes. Your photos and medical details are shared only with the doctors involved in your care, and we discuss the plan only with you unless you ask otherwise. Many doctors in Azerbaijan speak Russian, and an interpreter is available if needed.
