This Male Breast Reduction Surgery (Gynecomastia) video is by Dr. Jonathan Lebowitz in Huntington, Long Island NY. Gynecomastia is the development of abnormal breast tissue on adolescents and men which can be small or large, and tends to appear on both side; however, some patients have had gynecomastia appear on only their left or right breast. Dr. Lebowitz recognizes that male Gynecomastia can cause feelings of embarrassment and awkwardness for adolescents, difficulties in wearing form fitting shirts for adults and a distraction from a chiseled and sculpted chest on body builders.
The long-term solution to reducing and reshaping a male’s breast is by glandular excision, Laser Smart Liposuction or a combination of both. Depending on your specific condition, Laser Smart Liposuction may be sufficient to remove this excess fat tissue from the chest region. If, however, you have dense glandular tissue causing your enlarged breast appearance, a direct excision of the gland will be needed. This patient lives a healthy and “clean” lifestyle, and regularly visits the gym which makes him a perfect candidate for a glandular excision on both sides.
Dr. Lebowitz has over 25 years of experience specializing in male breast reduction surgery. Watch as he makes a small incision around the nipple, resulting in an inconspicuous scar. Once open and lifted, he gently removes the gynecomastia and just enough excess tissue so that the patient DOES NOT have a “caved in”, “dented”, or uneven finished appearance. He also avoids the use of drains by reducing dead space, which is where fluid would normally collect.
The patient is awake during the entire procedure, fully relaxed and enjoying the experience with no pain. Gynecomastia surgery can take 1-3 hours to perform, depending if the patient requires just an excision, Laser Smart Liposuction or a combination of both procedures.
