What Is Gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia, pronounced guy-nuh-koh-MAS-tee-uh, is a condition that causes a build-up of fat and tissue in the breasts of men and boys. The tissue in the mammary glands usually is created by an imbalance of testosterone and estrogen, which are male and female hormones. Enlarged male breasts also can be due to:
- An excess amount of fat that’s accumulated in the chest from weight gain
- Changes during puberty
- Hyperthyroidism
- Use of anabolic steroids
- Loss of testosterone due to aging
- Kidney or liver failure
- Certain medications
- Overconsumption of alcohol
- Illegal drug use
- Starvation and malnutrition
To learn how to get rid of gynecomastia, seek assistance from one of NYC’s best plastic surgeons at Millennial Plastic Surgery. Dr. David Shokrian is an experienced gynecomastia doctor who knows how to discreetly and effectively provide male plastic surgery, especially if you’re not comfortable visiting a cosmetic surgeon.

This place was very good. The kindness and helpfulness of the staff was awesome. I loved Jess and my massages from Maribel..she was so good I wanted an 8 ounce bottle of milk and my bed after. Overall Dr. Shokrian was very honest in what he could do and what he couldn't which made my choice even easier.

If your dick measures three inches or less in length when erect, you’re an ideal candidate, although almost any man can qualify. You have to be in good overall health and have realistic expectation about what a penis enlargement procedure can do for you.

It’s possible that gynecomastia treatment isn’t necessary at all if what are sometimes called man boobs go away on their own. This could happen with a weight loss diet plan, coupled with targeted weight-bearing exercises and workout routines. Younger men may also grow out of the condition after puberty as their bodies develop more masculine lines. It’s possible that enlarged breasts may disappear when you begin to get the proper nutrition or seek treatment for a substance use disorder.
You may not be able to wait, however, if you’re experiencing uncomfortable symptoms, in addition to possible embarrassment, such as:
- Sensitivity when your nipples rub against your shirts
- Tenderness in your breasts
- Swollen, inflamed tissue
- Generalized breast pain
- Nipple discharge
For the most part, gynecomastia surgery usually isn’t covered by insurance because it’s considered a cosmetic issue that leads to emotional or psychological side effects. If, however, male breast reduction is the only way your doctor can relieve your physical symptoms, gynecomastia surgery costs may be defrayed with some insurance coverage. The average cost for gynecomastia surgery in New York City ranges from about $4,500 to $12,000. The final price can differ in your particular case due to procedure complexity and individual factors. Call us to get accurate cost estimates for your specific case.
How Is Male Breast Reduction Surgery Performed?
Dr. Shokrian discusses your options for relieving you of the discomfort caused by gynecomastia and offers a few different options for treatment. You may be advised to lose weight or take medication, such as tamoxifen or aromatase inhibitors, to reduce your breast size. Although these medications are used off-label, they have proven useful for some men.
When gynecomastia surgery proves to be your most effective option, your Manhattan plastic surgeon offers a couple of options, including:
- Liposuction procedure. Specifically, chest liposuction, which directly slims and reshapes your upper body, works by removing pockets of fat that have been resistant to exercise and diet. Liposuction is done when it’s primarily fat causing your enlarged breasts. The procedure typically is performed while you’re under local anesthesia with an IV sedative so you feel no discomfort. Sutures are placed strategically to show as little as possible once you’re healed.
- Mastectomy. Tissue excision is done when the cause of your enlarged breasts is mainly an excess of glandular tissue. You may have to undergo a mammogram and biopsy to ensure that you don’t have breast cancer, which can even affect men. This can also be done in concert with lipo if there’s also excess fat.
Both procedures also work well in combination with other body contouring procedures during the same surgery. To create a more toned, firm and masculine profile, your NYC doctor may recommend that you consider:
- Lower body lift
- Abdominal lift surgery
- Trunkplasty
- Love handles liposuction
- Abdominal and pectoral etching
- liposuction 360
- Chin liposuction

Am I a Good Candidate for Gynecomastia Surgery?
As long as you’re healthy and over the age of 18, you can undergo gynecomastia treatment to eliminate your overly large male breasts. The earlier you get the procedure, the better. Your body adapts to your revitalized shape, and you avoid the negative psychological effects on your self-esteem.
You need to have realistic expectations for the procedure, however. Gynecomastia surgery doesn’t automatically change your life or your chances of landing the perfect mate or ideal job. Male breast reduction can, however, give you:
- Improved self-esteem. When you feel better about the way you look and less self-conscious of your appearance, you tend to walk a little taller and with added confidence.
- A sculpted chest. Big breasts are seen as a feminine trait, so when you have man boobs, your feelings of masculinity take a hit. Once the excess fat is removed and excess skin tucked away, you then have the freedom to create a more manly physique with targeted exercises.
- Comfort in your body. When you’re comfortable in your body, you’re able to take more risks with your wardrobe. Whereas tight-fitting shirts and tanks may have been off-limits in the past, now you can wear them with no worries to show off that bod.
- Sexually secure. Your gynecomastia doctor gives you back your confidence in the bedroom. You don’t have to lose your heat because you’re embarrassed about taking off your shirt. Enjoy intimacy without fear of being judged or criticized.
You’re not alone if you desire a more toned, taut, masculine physique. In fact, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, more than 40 percent of the breast reduction surgeries performed now are for men. And in Manhattan, you have access to the best gynecomastia doctor in New York. Contact Millennial Plastic Surgery today for a consultation.
