Redefining Masculine Contours

Gynecomastia Surgery in NY

Understanding Gynecomastia Surgery

Gynecomastia, or male breast enlargement, is a condition that affects many men, often leading to self-consciousness and discomfort. Whether caused by hormonal imbalances, genetics, weight fluctuations, or medication, Gynecomastia can make men feel insecure about their chest appearance.

At Madison Plastic Surgery, Dr. Robert M. Tornambe, a board-certified plastic surgeon, has over 20 years of experience performing male breast reduction surgery to restore a masculine chest contour and renewed confidence.

Is Gynecomastia Surgery Right for You?

This procedure is ideal for men who:

Have excess breast tissue, fat, or skin, creating a feminized chest appearance.
Experience embarrassment or self-consciousness when shirtless.
Have tried diet and exercise but see no improvement.
Are in good health and have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes.

While gynecomastia in adolescence often resolves by age 18, persistent cases may require surgery for permanent correction.

Surgical Options and Techniques

Gynecomastia Surgery is performed using one or more techniques,

customized to your anatomy and goals.

Procedures:

Liposuction – Removes excess fat deposits through tiny incisions, ideal for cases of pseudogynecomastia (fat-related gynecomastia).
Tissue Excision – For firmer glandular tissue, a small incision is made around the nipple-areola complex to remove excess tissue.
Skin Tightening (If Needed) – In severe cases with loose skin, surgical excision is used to restore a firmer, more sculpted chest.
Areola Reduction (If Needed) – Enlarged areolas can be reshaped and resized for better proportions.

Dr. Tornambe personalizes the surgical technique to achieve a natural, masculine result.

Surgery is considered for boys 18 and older if the condition persists. In severe psychological cases, surgery may be performed earlier at 16 or 17.

Diet and exercise can reduce excess fat, but true gynecomastia (caused by glandular tissue) cannot be resolved without surgery.
