Gynecomastia New York

New York Gynecomastia expert George Beraka, M.D., a double, board certified plastic surgeon, often surgically reduces the flabby, female-like chests of boys and men, providing a more masculine looking upper trunk.

Which men should seek a male breast reduction in New York? The surgical procedure may be right for you if you've had small breasts for more than six months and if you've been teased or ridiculed by the appearance of your chest.

About Gynecomastia in New York

Dr. Beraka once wrote a chapter in a medical school textbook about gynecomastia correction. Consequently, many sufferers of gynecomastia in New York contacted Dr. Beraka for the chest sculpting procedure.

Often, some of the tissue in gynecomastia is real breast tissue so no amount of exercise or working out can reduce it. Moreover, experts say about 40 percent of men have the condition.

About the Procedure

Most of the fat and breast tissue is removed through liposuction, using specially designed surgical tools. In some cases, additional fatty tissue must be removed through a small incision in the nipple area.

The procedure is done under light anesthesia as an outpatient in our office surgical suite or in the hospital. Typically, recovery from gynecomastia correction involves:

• Some Swelling and bruising: Swelling and bruising only lasts a few days. After the first week, patients may usually resume school or go back to work.


• A week off: However, it requires about three weeks before you can resume sports or working out.
