Male Breast Reduction (Gynecomastia) Surgery in New York & New Jersey

What is Gynecomastia?

Gynecomastia is a condition of overdeveloped or enlarged breast tissue, often resulting from a hormone imbalance, particularly between testosterone and estrogen. Other causes may include medications and medical issues. Those feeling self-conscious can explore breast reduction surgery from a Gynecomastia Surgeon in NY for a more confident appearance.

Benefits of Gynecomastia Treatment

  • Positive impact on self-esteem:The surgical correction of Gynecomastia improves self-esteem and body image. Enables patients to be more social and comfortable engaging in many physical activities by alleviating anxiety, and emotional discomfort.
  • Physical shape:Creates a more sculpted, appealing, and flatter appearance of the chest. Allows for tighter fitting clothing and the confidence to feel comfortable shirtless.
  • Improved posture:Gynecomastia can cause poor posture and shoulder slouching as an attempt to hide the condition. Surgery improves the posture by alleviating the tendency to hunch over.
  • Improves Physical Activity:Patients feel more comfortable in engaging in physical activities and participating freely in exercise and sports.
  • Improved quality of life:Patients report an overall feeling of confidence, free from limitations that gynecomastia can impose resulting in better physical and personal relationships.

Male Breast Reduction Procedure

Gynecomastia surgery removes excess fat, skin, and glandular breast tissue. This procedure can involve liposuction, excision, or a combination of both. Dr. Moskovitz will consider the best method for each individual patient.

Liposuction Approach:If the enlarged breasts are caused primarily by excessive fatty tissue, the tissue is typically removed with liposuction. During liposuction, a cannula (a thin, hollow tube) is inserted through extremely small incisions, and then moved back and forth to loosen excess fat, which is suctioned out using a vacuum or a cannula-attached syringe.

The incisions are made around the lower halves of the areolas or in the under arms. Dr. Moskovitz uses the tumescent liposuction technique, which helps to minimize swelling and bleeding during fat removal. Compression garments are then placed on the patient who will wear them for 2-4 weeks.

Excision Approach:If the enlarged breasts are caused primarily by excess glandular tissue and skin, excision is required. Incisions are made to allow for tissue to be removed around the nipple or chest crease and sutures are used to close the incisions.

This approach involves more scarring than the liposuction approach. Compression garments are then placed on the patient who will wear them for 2-4 weeks.

Ideal Candidates for Gynecomastia Surgery

During your consultation with Dr. Martin Moskovitz, you can expect a physical examination, a detailed discussion of your medical history, and surgical plan based on your individual anatomy.

This evaluation will determine if you are a suitable candidate for Gynecomastia Surgery in NY. Ideal candidates for gynecomastia surgery are:

  • Bothered by noticeable large breast which cannot be reduced by diet, exercise, or other medical treatments.
  • Overall, in good health and maintain a stable body weight which minimizes surgical complications and optimizes post-operative results.
  • Non-smokers and non-drug users crucial for optimal surgical results and healing.
  • Realistic with surgical expectations about the procedure and recovery process, understanding the limitations of the procedure and potential results
  • Post puberty when breast development has stabilized

Surgery Preparation

  • Follow the specific instructions reviewed with you during your pre-op appointment
  • Prefill prescribed medications so they are readily available.
  • Avoid aspirin-based medications and herbal supplements that increase bleeding risks two weeks before and after surgery.
  • Keep a tobacco-free lifestyle for four weeks before and after the surgery to ensure proper healing.
  • Arrange transportation to and from surgery center.
  • Have someone stay with you for the first 24 hours after surgery

Risks and Complications

Like all surgeries, gynecomastia carries some inherent risks. During your consultation, Dr. Moskovitz will discuss potential complications and how we work to minimize them. Carefully following pre- and post-surgery instructions carefully can further reduce risks.

Our skilled team is committed to providing the safest procedure possible. During your initial consultation, comprehensive details regarding risks will be thoroughly covered to ensure you are well-informed and prepared for the process.

Am I a good candidate for Male Breast Surgery?

Prospective surgical candidates for male breast surgery are men who have enlarged, or saggy breasts caused by a hormonal imbalance, heredity, obesity, or a side effect from certain drugs and medications all of which may affect one or both breasts.

Ideal candidates for Gynecomastia Surgery in NY are men who do not smoke, are in overall good health, at a steady weight and have stable breast development.

Gynecomastia Recovery

Most gynecomastia patients recover quickly, although the first two weeks can be uncomfortable due to soreness, bruising and swelling. Discomfort can be lessened with prescribed pain medication. A compression garment is required to be worn 2-4 weeks post-surgery to assist in healing, to minimize swelling and retract the skin to its new body contour. Rest is vital during this period, and intense exercise should be avoided to prevent complications for the first 6 weeks.

Patients can return to work and light exercise after two weeks, though bruising and swelling may persist for several weeks afterward. Full recovery may take time, with final results often not appearing until six months. To speed healing, maintain a healthy diet and hydration, get plenty of rest, and follow all post-op instructions. Don’t hesitate to ask for help during recovery for tasks that may be difficult.
