MiniGynoTM Incision Treatment with TetherProofTM technology

Dr. Steinbrech has developed a unique technique using a smaller puncture mini-incision which removes the glandular tissue and fat without a larger incision that patients’ fear may tether with larger scars. This gives the patient a more natural result and more confidence when he is at the beach or on the stage in a competition.

Male Breast Reduction | New York, NY

If you are a man with overly developed breasts, you may feel uncomfortable around others while swimming, in the shower in the locker room or in intimate situations with your shirt off. Having breast reduction surgery will help your chest look normal and help you to feel more confident as well.

Women with large breasts are not the only people who sometimes feel the need for breast reduction surgery. Men also request this surgery if they feel self-conscious about their appearance and if their breasts are larger than average male breasts. Gynecomastia is a condition wherein a male has grown breasts that look like female breasts. There are several causes of gynecomastia. Certain medications, like Risperdol, cause males to grow female-shaped breasts. Other causes of male breast growth are heredity factors and being overweight. In many cases, however, there is no known cause for gynecomastia. It is actually a fairly common problem.

Gynocomastia is characterized by:

  • Excess fat in the breast area
  • Excess glandular tissue growth
  • Excess breast skin
  • Only one larger breast larger than the other

What is Male Breast Reduction?

The plastic surgery procedure to reduce male breast size is medically called reduction mammaplasty. Male breast reduction removes fat and possibly some glandular tissue from the breast area. In the case of more extreme breast development, skin may also have to be removed from the breast area. The result of this surgery is a chest that is firmer, flatter and more masculine looking.

What Will Happen Before Male Breast Reduction Surgery?

Make an appointment with Dr. Steinbrech at his New York office before your breast reduction surgery. He will look at your chest and help you decide how to proceed with the surgery, and just what needs to be done. In most cases, the weight of the breast tissue has been causing the breasts to sag. The areola is stretched as well. If this is the case, the areola will need to be moved to a more aesthetically pleasing place on your chest and remove the excess skin to make your chest look firmer. Lab tests are required prior to surgery to make sure you are healthy enough to have the male breast reduction procedure done at his New York clinic. Dr. Steinbrech can tell you what will happen during the surgery and what you will need to do to take care of yourself after the surgery. Following his instructions to the letter will ensure you have the best results possible.

Reduction Mammoplasty Surgery

Dr. Steinbrech’s New York office staff will tell you specifically what you need to do to prepare for the surgery ahead. Follow their instructions about diet and medications explicitly so your procedure can be done when scheduled. Once you are prepped for surgery, you will be given anesthesia. You may be given IV anesthesia or general anesthesia depending on the exact procedure you will be having. If your large breasts are due to excess fatty tissue liposuction alone will be performed.

If you have glandular breast tissue that needs to be removed, excess skin will need to be removed as well. Excision is also necessary if the procedure includes moving the areola to a more natural place on the male chest. Dr. Steinbrech will discuss with you where the stitches and scars will be before the surgery occurs. Sometimes a combination of liposuction and excision is used to reduce the size of the male breast involved, depending on the patient’s needs.

After Male Breast Reduction Surgery

After your surgery, dressings and elastic bandages will be placed on the surgical sites and to support your breast tissue as it heals. You may also have a drain tube to keep fluid from collecting in the surgical site. You will need to have a responsible person with you to help you follow the doctor’s instructions and take you home after surgery. You will also be given medication to reduce pain and prevent infection.

Individual recover time varies. Dr. Steinbrech and his New York clinic staff will answer your questions about when the bandages and stitches are removed, how to care for the incisions and when you can get back to your normal activities safely.

Featured Reviews

If there were more stars, I would click on many more! Dr. Steinbrech and his staff are amazing, and most importantly, highly professional. I had a previous breast augmentation 2 years ago that went horribly wrong and as a result the implants had to be removed after a week of surgery due to complications. I was extremely distraught by my entire previous experience, lack of professionalism, and trauma the surgeries caused my body. I had post-surgery and self-image depression, which lasted two full years- yes, two full years!!! Let's face it, as women we are highly judgmental and insecure with ourselves, and my small breasts were my number one insecurity, which worsened after the first unsuccessful surgery. After professional therapy and many crying sessions, I finally had the courage to give myself and my breasts a new chance. I did a lot of research about breast augmentation as I needed a reconstructive breast surgeon that understood the trauma I went through previously and that could provide me with the mental/emotional support that I needed in order to attempt breast surgery once more. I found Dr. Steinbrech's office through referrals. His vast experience is also in reconstructive plastic surgery, which made me feel much more at ease. The staff and everyone involved understood my trauma and helped me feel comfortable with my decision of getting the procedure done. They went far and beyond my expectations with the care and assistance I received pre-and-post operation. The staff worked with me through every single decision and doubts I had, and were very prompt in answering ALL my questions- and trust me, this time around I had PLENTY! I had my breast reconstruction/augmentation surgery on February 2017 and I have healed better than I could have wished for. There were hardly any signs of bruising and my breasts currently look/feel very natural, and it has only been four months since my surgery. I truly recommend Dr. Steinbrech. I am not just writing this review just to write it because I never really write online reviews- but I think that by sharing my story it will offer hope to anyone that has gone through something similar and have had traumatic experiences with previous plastic surgeons. Of course, everyone heals differently and one must set realistic expectations based on our own body's anatomies, but personally, not one moment have I regretted my decision and my new breasts look awesome and symmetric!

Doctor Steinbrech, Kelly and the rest of the staff are amazing! Have the best experience every step of the way... From the consultation to the surgery to the follow up appointments. They spend a lot of time during consultation to ensure they understand what you want, but most importantly what is best for you. I am 43 male, 5'10, 165 work out regularly and have a personal trainer, I just couldn't achieve the "bubble butt" results through exercise as it is heavily depends on genetics. I did my research, read through many reviews and narrowed down to 3 surgeons in NY and finally decide to go to Dr Steinbrech. So glad I chose him. He is an amazing surgeon, knowledgeable, experienced, caring, funny and an artist. He made me very comfortable and confident through out the process. The pain after the surgery from a 1 - 10 scale will be 5. It just feels like a really hard workout and your butt is sore. The most annoying thing is that you can't sit, sleep on your back, bend and the drains. The drains are very uncomfortable as they are stitched onto you so every time you move, you feel the pull. To help picking things up or assist on putting on pants, I recommend using a pair of tongs. After the surgery, one has to take care of the incision and make sure it is clean and dry. After shower, I recommend instead of using towel to dry your butt, use a blow dryer. I highly recommend Dr Steinbrech and his team for any work one might want to get done.
