Breast Reduction For Men
The goal of male breast reduction, also known as “gynecomastia surgery,” is to produce a more sculpted, lean, and masculine chest. Many men are self-conscious and embarrassed by excess breast tissue and breast protuberance. Board-certified top NYC plastic surgeon Dr. Barry Weintraub removes unwanted tissue with special Mercedes gynecomastia cannulae using the hidden, underarm approach that leaves no nearby marks, producing a flatter, more sculpted, and masculine chest. Men who are embarrassed at the beach, at the gym, and who disguise their upper bodies with careful wardrobe selection are excellent candidates.*
When choosing a surgeon for your Male Breast Reduction you should:
- Check for board certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (there are many other boards, some legitimate, some not, but there is only one American Board of Plastic Surgery, established in 1931)
- Ensure that the physician has privileges at a major hospital in your community, and is in good standing with that hospital
- Confirm that he or she has a fine reputation amongst other medical professionals in your community
- Speak to the surgeon’s patients who have undergone similar procedures
Remember, this is your surgery, and you are interviewing the doctor as much as he’s interviewing you. Do not hesitate to bring a list of questions with you to your consultation. And remember: a good surgeon is someone who not only has the skill to perform the surgery but is someone who understands your specific needs and desires. A good surgeon should listen, listen, and listen!
Have no fear during your consultation. This is a time to speak, to be heard, to learn, and to develop a trusting relationship. Questions can be answered, and fears allayed. And while Dr. Weintraub is at the cutting edge of his field in terms of technique and medical developments, you will find his office environment to be comforting, personable, and inviting. He and his staff truly care about each and every patient, and take great pride in making themselves available to help with every step of the process.

What Is Male Breast Reduction?
Possible gynecomastia causes in males include genetics, hormonal imbalance, aging, drug or alcohol abuse, or health-related issues. Excess breast tissue is often prevalent among young boys. Regardless of age, gynecomastia can be socially embarrassing, and no amount of diet and exercise decreases the excess breast tissue that characterizes this condition.
Gynecomastia surgery targets excess glandular tissue of the chest/breast area that can appear saggy, protuberant, or puffy. Thanks to Dr. Weintraub’s specialized underarm approach, there are no visible scars nearby after undergoing male breast reduction.*
In addition to gynecomastia, many patients combine male breast reduction with upper-body sculpting via liposuction to improve the entire torso. Opting to undergo both male breast reduction and liposuction can create a more balanced-looking upper body with natural-looking, handsome results.
Male breast reduction is not recommended for males who have yet to finish undergoing puberty. For many adolescent and teenage boys, enlarged breasts are a common condition that sometimes improves over time.
Dr. Weintraub performs male breast reduction in the privacy and comfort of his NYC location. For patients seeking a firmer-looking chest, gynecomastia surgery can produce sculpted, long-lasting results that have been known to vastly improve self-esteem.
Considering Male Breast Reduction
While there is no specific chronological age that determines when you should have some rejuvenative procedures, male breast reduction should not be considered before a male has finished undergoing puberty.
If you fit these requirements and see something that truly bothers you when you look in the mirror, it is time to pick up the phone and schedule an appointment for a consultation with Dr. Weintraub for male breast reduction in New York. Likewise, there is only one person to have male plastic surgery for: you and you alone. It should never be undertaken due to pressure from others.
The Best Candidates for Male Breast Reduction
The best candidates for male breast reduction surgery are well-balanced, in good general health, and possess realistic expectations. You are an excellent candidate if you’ve done your homework, have had your consultation, and the following three things are present:
- You are highly motivated to make the change
- You have the ability to pause your daily responsibilities (work, family, school, etc.) in order to undergo the procedure
- You have the financial wherewithal to make an elective cosmetic surgery come to fruition

Preparing for Male Breast Reduction
Once you have decided to make this exciting new change and undergo male breast reduction in NYC, you will need to provide medical clearance from your family physician. You will be given instructions as to how to prepare for male breast reduction and will be given prescriptions to be filled in advance. A custom-made post-surgical garment will be ordered for you by Dr. Weintraub’s office, eliminating unnecessary bother or fuss. For those patients who live beyond a 50-mile radius of New York City, Dr. Weintraub advises a two-night post-operative stay at The Pierre, The St. Regis, The Surrey, The Mark, or The Carlyle Hotel, where his patients are given a special reduced rate, and where he will visit you after your procedure. A private nurse can also be provided.
Goals of Male Breast Reduction
Male breast reduction can reduce the amount of excess breast tissue in order to achieve a more masculine chest. Oftentimes, overly developed breast tissue in men can result in a loss of confidence, as well as a hesitance to show the upper body in public, whether it be at the beach, gym, or other social settings. Dr. Weintraub’s male breast reduction procedure is designed to improve the appearance of the chest, resulting in a more muscular, handsome, and sculpted look.
