Gynecomastia, or enlarged male breasts, affect as many as six out of every ten men. This condition can make it embarrassing to take off your shirt for summer activities or even to wear a T-shirt. But there is a solution.

If you’ve been covering up even when you are at the beach due to enlarged breasts from aging or sagging skin left over from a massive weight loss, the solution could be gynecomastia surgery. New York patients have been coming to Dr. Sterry for years to regain the masculine contour in their chest and achieve confidence in social situations.

Gynecomastia occurs in the male breasts when there is excessive glandular tissue, and it is possible to affect one breast or both. In 2006 alone, 20,000 American men had male breast reduction surgery to treat this common condition according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. There is also such a condition known as pseudo-gynecomastia, which can be caused by excessive fat tissue. This is common among older men, younger overweight men and those who have lost a massive amount of weight.

After turning to Dr. Sterry for gynecomastia surgery, New York men can feel better about the way they look at the beach, the swimming pool and during other social situations. Some men’s gynecomastia is so severe that it is noticeable with or without a shirt. There are many surgical options for these various conditions, and Dr. Sterry can determine what treatment options are best for you. If you think you would be a good candidate for a male breast reduction, contact Dr. Sterry’s office today to schedule a consultation. He will evaluate you, listen to your goals and determine what the best treatment options are to achieve your desired results.
