“Dr. Breitbart and his team were phenomenal! From start to finish, they made sure I was comfortable and was happy with the results I wanted. The only regret I have is I wish I would’ve had my procedure sooner. Would definitely recommend. Thank you so much!” ~ Google
What are the Benefits of Gynecomastia Surgery? Gynecomastia surgery, also known as male breast reduction, can provide several benefits, including:
- Improved physical appearance: Gynecomastia surgery can remove excess fat and breast tissue, resulting in a flatter, more masculine chest.
- Increased self-esteem and confidence: Many men who have gynecomastia feel self-conscious and embarrassed about their appearance. Surgery can help to improve their self-esteem and confidence in their appearance.
- Relief from physical discomfort: Men with gynecomastia may experience physical discomfort or pain in the breast area. Surgery can provide relief from these symptoms.
- Improved quality of life: Gynecomastia can have a negative impact on a man’s physical, emotional and social life. Surgery can help to improve the quality of life by addressing the physical and emotional concerns caused by the condition.
- Better fitting clothing: Men with gynecomastia may have difficulty finding clothing that fits properly. Surgery can help to improve their ability to find clothing that fits and flatters their body shape.
- Long-lasting results: Gynecomastia surgery typically produces long-lasting results and can help to achieve a more masculine and contoured chest, and improve overall self-image.
Am I a Candidate for Gynecomastia Surgery? The best candidate for gynecomastia (male breast reduction) surgery is a healthy male of any age (including adolescents or teens) who wants to dramatically improve his physical appearance and is eager to get rid of emotional and physical distress while boosting his self-confidence and physical appearance.
Which Gynecomastia Surgery Technique is used by the Gynecomastia Surgery Group of Long Island’s Plastic Surgery Team? Dr. Breitbart is an experienced Long Island gynecomastia surgery specialist. The board certified plastic surgeon uses a combination of cosmetic surgical procedures such as liposuction and glandular tissue removal to perform gynecomastia surgery. Each patient’s surgery is customized to the man’s unique anatomy. Oftentimes, liposuction is used to remove the excess fat in the chest area surrounding the breast tissue. Dr. Breitbart specializes in SMART lipo (the most contemporary form of liposuction), a safer alternative to traditional liposuction. The gynecomastia procedure involves:
- Anesthesia: Gynecomastia surgery can be carried out under sedation, local or general anesthesia – this will vary from case to case depending on the extent of your gynecomastia.
- Gland Excision: If glandular breast tissue or excess skin needs to be removed by the Long Island plastic surgeon during the gynecomastia surgery, the board certified plastic surgeon will most likely use the excision technique. This method is also used to reduce the areola and reposition the nipple in its natural position.
- SMART Liposuction: Liposuction is one of the treatment methods for gynecomastia, used to remove the excess fat in the chest area surrounding the breast tissue.
- Combination of SMART Liposuction & Gland Excision: Depending on the individual situation of the patient, both liposuction and excision might be needed to achieve the optimal desired result.
