Male Breast Reduction Before & After Photos
Male Breast Reductionin Long Island
Gynecomastia Surgery in Melville, NY
Gynecomastia is a scientific term that refers to enlarged breast tissue in men. It causes a distinctly feminine look that can reduce a man’s self-confidence and quality of life. In many cases, gynecomastia is caused by a hormonal imbalance but can develop from taking specific drugs, steroids, due to major weight gain or loss, or be a hereditary tendency.
Understanding gynecomastia and it's impact on confidence
Men who suffer from gynecomastia may feel embarrassed and anxious, unwilling to go shirtless at the pool, beach, or gym, and wear loose clothing to hide the condition. Renowned NY plastic surgeons Drs. James Romanelli, Yee Cheng Low, and John Layliev perform cosmetic gynecomastia surgery to treat this condition and surgically remove the excess tissue.
This procedure has a very high success rate and results in men who enjoy a more masculine appearance and a significant boost in confidence and self-esteem. It is one of the most popular surgeries for men at North Shore® Cosmetic Surgery in Melville, NY.
Am I a candidate for gynecomastia surgery?
Male breast reduction in Long Island is ideal for men who suffer from visible excess breast tissue that does not respond to diet and exercise. If you are at a healthy weight but are still troubled by the look of your chest, you may be a good candidate and benefit from gynecomastia surgery. Future weight gain or tissue regrowth after surgery may require a secondary procedure some years down the road, but this is uncommon in men who maintain a stable, healthy weight. In your initial consultation, we will provide you with treatment options, including surgically removing the excess tissue.

The gynecomastia surgery technique
Your gynecomastia surgery will be performed under general anesthesia and will involve one (or both) of the following techniques:
Liposuction
Most gynecomastia surgeries involve fat removal with liposuction. For most men, the excess tissue is almost entirely fat – so liposuction alone can achieve ideal results.
Surgical tissue excision
In some cases, there is actual breast tissue that must be surgically excised to achieve a masculine chest appearance. If needed, we will make a small, well-hidden incision that allows us to access and remove the unwanted tissue.
Fat removal is almost always part of our custom gynecomastia surgery. Performed with general anesthesia, liposuction removes the excess fat from the internal chest region. Excess glandular tissue is then removed, loose skin tightened, and the nipples surgically reshaped and placed in the ideal, natural position. Your incisions will then be closed and wrapped with a compression bandage to reduce swelling and keep the tissue positioned properly for healing.
Recovering from gynecomastia surgery
Recovering from gynecomastia surgery is generally considered reasonably easy to experience, and you will have pain medication to manage any discomfort. After gynecomastia surgery, your chest will be protected with a surgical compression bandage to limit swelling. For complex cases that involved more surgical correction, a small tube drainage tube may be inserted to reduce swelling.
Your gynecomastia surgery results
The changes in your chest appearance after gynecomastia treatment are visible immediately, and our patients are incredibly pleased with the results. The incisions made during this procedure take a few weeks to heal, and the surgical scars fade to being almost invisible. Living life with a sculpted, masculine chest brings enhanced confidence, self-esteem, and freedom to go to the beach or pool without embarrassment.
