Male breast reduction in NYC helps men achieve a well-contoured, masculine
chest. Male breast reduction surgery addresses gynecomastia, the abnormal
enlargement of male breasts that may be due to hormonal imbalances, use of
certain drugs and some medical conditions. According to the US National Library
of Medicine, gynecomastia is the most common breast condition in males and at
least 30% of males will be affected during their lifetime. As per the American
Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), breast reduction surgery is on the rise
among men. In fact, men accounted for more than 40 percent of aesthetic breast
reduction surgeries for the first time in the United States and about 27,760
procedures were conducted in the year 2016 by ASPS Member Surgeons alone.
The immediate past ASPS President, Dr. David H. Song says that “Male breast
reduction surgery is often done in younger men who face genetic challenges with
the size and shape of their breasts, and when appropriate, surgery can make a big
difference in their lives."This procedure enhances your confidence level and self-
esteem, because you will no longer be embarrassed by man boobs. Moreover, you
can stand up straight and hug someone without feeling self conscious. You can
take off your shirt in public and involve in activities such as swimming or go for a
beachside walk with the one you love.
How Male Breast Reduction Surgery Is Performed
Usually, minimally-invasive, advanced technologies such as BodyTite RFAL
(radiofrequency assisted liposuction), VASER ultrasonic device or the Smartlipo
Triplex laser liposuction device are utilized to carry out this procedure. It can
usually be performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia.
 Smartlipo Triplex laser liposuction – Smartlipo Triplex is an FDA-
approved, advanced laser lipolysis device that safely delivers the optimal

blend of three laser wavelengths 1064 nm, 1320 nm and 1440 nm to the
treatment area causing the fat to melt prior to its removal from the body.
This melted fat is then suctioned from the body using a suction device
without causing pain and trauma to the surrounding tissues. The heat
generated during the procedure helps to tighten the skin quickly, providing
for a more toned appearance.
 BodyTite RFAL- It uses radiofrequency assisted liposuction (RFAL)
technology for effective body contouring and significant skin contraction. In
the BodyTite hand-piece, RFAL energy passes from an internal cannula to
an external electrode, delivering focused energy into the adipose tissue and
fatty areas. This results in the heating of the entire soft-tissue matrix. The
hand piece simultaneously aspirates the liquefied fat and coagulates the
adipose, fibrous, and vascular tissues.
 VASER ultrasound-assisted liposuction – This platform utilizes high-
energy ultrasonic sound waves to loosen fat while leaving important
structures such as nerves and blood vessels intact, enhancing its removal
with liposuction. This approach gives the surgeon even greater control in
sculpting especially with high definition liposuction cases.
Benefits of the Procedure
 Safe and highly efficient
 Considerable fat reduction and effective body firming
 Provides maximum patient comfort
 Proven tissue coagulation and better skin tightening

Ideal Candidate for Gynecomastia Surgery
You may be a good candidate for gynecomastia surgery, if you
 Are dissatisfied with your overdeveloped male breasts
 Are physically and mentally healthy
 Area non-smoker or a non-drug user
 Have realistic expectations about outcomes
 Are near to your ideal weight
 Have excess breast tissue and skin
 Have good skin elasticity
Important Considerations
 Before your surgery, you may have to take certain lab tests or a medical
evaluation if there is a physiologic reason for the gynecomastia (your doctor
will make that decision).

 You may be asked to take certain medications or adjust your current
medications.
 You have to stop smoking two weeks prior to the surgery.
 Stop drinking alcohol for one week prior to surgery and for one week after
surgery.
 Avoid taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs and herbal supplements as
they can increase bleeding.
 Arrange for someone to drive you to and from surgery and to stay with you
for at least the first night following surgery.
Recovery Stage
During the recovery period, dressings or bandages will be applied to your
incisions and an elastic bandage or support garment may be used to minimize
swelling and provide support to your new chest contour. You may be advised to
wear this compression garment for 3-4 weeks after the surgery. In some cases, a
temporary drain may be needed. The final outcome of your surgery may be
completely visible after 3-6 months.
