WHAT IS GYNECOMASTIA?

“Man boobs” are one of the most challenging physical problems faced by men. Some areas of the body can be toned and chiseled with a dedicated routine of working out and eating right, but not so with man boobs. The good news is that your enlarged male breasts are due to a medical condition that is outside your control, and the even better news is that we can help.

Enlarged breasts on a man are not necessarily an indication of his fitness level. Gynecomastia is a condition that causes excess breast tissue in male breasts. It is not necessarily fat; therefore, exercising cannot correct the problem.

WHAT IS GYNECOMASTIA SURGERY?

Male breast reduction is a procedure that removes excess skin, breast tissue and fat from male breasts. Gynecomastia surgery involves various techniques, such as liposuction and surgical removal of excess tissue.

If you are considering male breast reduction, learn about your surgeon’s experience with the techniques. The procedure should not be performed in the same manner as breast reduction in women. Your surgeon should be experienced with male breast reduction specifically so that you maintain and improve the masculine character of your chest and breast area.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF GYNECOMASTIA SURGERY?

• Corrects “man boobs”
• Tailored to the needs of the patients
• Focuses on preserving and improving the masculine profile of the breast and chest area

HOW MUCH DOES GYNECOMASTIA COST IN NYC?

The cost of gynecomastia surgery varies. Factors that affect the cost of your surgery for enlarged male breasts include the recommended technique, complexity of the procedure, and other factors that are determined during the consultation. To help you have a budget in mind when you meet with Dr. Shah, we invite you to learn about our financing options.

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT FROM GYNECOMASTIA SURGERY?

Dr. Shah will describe the technique that is to be used for your gynecomastia surgery. You may be a candidate for male breast reduction with liposuction, surgery, or a combination. Liposuction may be used in conjunction with surgery to sculpt the remaining fat. Gynecomastia surgery can also be combined with our body contouring procedures.

You will have some downtime after your gynecomastia surgery, which may range from a few days to weeks. If tissue is removed surgically, recovery can take a few months. You will have scars from the surgery either in the natural crease under the breast or in your armpit area.
