Gynecomastia Surgeon Long Island

The Gynecomastia Surgery Group of Long Island, New York (Hauppauge, Suffolk County) is spearheaded by top rated board certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Arnold Breitbart. Dr. Breitbart, a double board certified and double Ivy League educated plastic surgeon, is a highly experienced and sought after gynecomastia plastic surgery (male breast reduction) specialist. Dr. Breitbart’s surgical goal for male breast reduction is to remove the excess glandular and soft fatty breast tissue by contouring the breast to a natural aesthetic male breast appearance while minimizing any visible scars.

“Dr Breitbart did an amazing job regarding my gynecomastia condition. The results were clear as soon as I woke up from the surgery. I highly recommend his services. Definitely worth the financial obligation. Dr Breitbart was very professional and straightforward and will explain the procedure clearly”.~  Google
