New York Gynecomastia Surgery / Male Breast Reduction

Gynecomastia, is very common, but is infrequently discussed. If you feel ashamed or insecure about taking off your shirt at the beach or at the gym, you are not alone.

Deposits of excess fat and breast tissue affect 40%-60% of men, and whether mild or severe, they can be the source of considerable embarrassment and self consciousness. Gynecomastia Surgery, or male breast reduction, is frequently performed to reduce the size and shape of the enlarged breast tissue. While gynecomastia can contribute to physical pain in the breast area, for most men it is the discomfort they feel with their shirts off. Although weight loss can help reduce gynecomastia, for most it will not eliminate it. In most cases, gynecomastia surgery, or male breast reduction surgery proves to be the only solution.

What does the Gynecomastia Surgery procedure entail?

There are several surgical techniques that can be used in male breast reduction and gynecomastia surgery. If Dr. Kolker determines that excessive fatty tissue is the primary reason for your enlarged breasts, Dr. Kolker will use liposuction techniques through tiny incisions to remove the excess fat.

If there is excess breast glandular tissue present, in addition to liposuction, a small incision is placed immediately beneath the areola (the dark skin of the nipple) to directly reduce the excess breast gland. In cases where there is considerable skin excess, or an enlarged areolar size, an incision that progresses around the areola may be advised to reduce excess skin as well, and to further firm the chest.

With Gynecomastia Surgery NYC patients should expect the treatment to take between two and three hours. The gynecomastia surgery procedure is performed as an ambulatory procedure in our fully accredited in-office surgical facility.
