Introduction to Male Breast Reduction
Restoration & Rejuvenation
Most men may not admit it, but there is a certain level of envy when you see another man take his shirt off to reveal a body like a Greek god. Although they probably achieved it through diligent training and a strict diet, the truth is, some men can help but struggle to lose their “man boobs”, no matter what they do. This could be due to genetics, skin laxity, or other factors, but it shouldn’t result in a permanent appearance, should it?
William Samson, MD believes that everyone should be happy with their appearance and he strives to provide the best possible results from Male Breast Reduction surgery in NYC. If you are working on improving your external appearance and feel this procedure could help you, we have included more information below.
Let’s start with the basics
What is Male Breast Reduction?
Many men suffer from Gynecomastia and Male Breast Reduction is a surgical procedure designed to fix that by reducing the breast size in men as well as enhancing and flattening the chest contours. With more severe cases of Gynecomastia, excess breast tissue can add weight that causes the breasts to sag and stretches out the areola. During these situations, the size and position of the areola can be improved through surgery and even reduce excess skin.
Main Advantages
What are the Benefits of Male Breast Reduction?
Male Breast Reduction surgery can be life-changing in multiple ways. Here are some of the benefits our New York City patients have seen:
- Alleviated back pain
- Better confidence and self-esteem
- Comfortable procedure
- Develops a more masculine figure
- Improves posture
- More clothing options
- Motivation to slim down to a healthier weight
- Participate in more physical activities
What to expect on the day of surgery
The first thing that will happen when you come in for your surgery is that you will be administered anesthesia. Depending on what is discussed during your consultation, it may either be general anesthesia or intravenous sedation.
After you are sedated, Dr. Samson will begin using various Liposuction techniques which will require the insertion of a very thin, hollow tube called a cannula through several small incisions. The cannula is moved back and forth in a deliberate manner to loosen excess fat. Once loosened, the fat is removed using vacuum suction.
If the excision technique is settled on, Dr. Samson will remove glandular breast tissue and any excess skin. Some excisions may be necessary if the areola needs to be reduced or the nipple repositioned to match a more natural male contour. At times, both techniques are necessary.
The procedure can take anywhere from 1 ½ – 2 hours.
What’s the First Step?
If you’re interested in getting a male breast reduction in NYC with Dr. Samson, your first step is to contact our office and schedule your consultation.

When discussing your history, please be very open and honest so that the best choices can be made to provide you with a successful procedure. You will also need to mention your goals and desires from the treatment. Once Dr. Samson has all of this information, he will create the perfect surgical plan for you.

Male Breast Reduction Recovery
After your procedure is complete, dressings or bandages will be applied to the incision areas, in addition to an elastic bandage or support garment that will minimize swelling and provide added support to your chest as it heals. The cannula may be left in the incision until your first check-up to drain excess blood and fluid that gets collected.
Dr. Samson will provide you with directions to follow, including how to properly care for the surgical site and drains, and prescribe you some temporary medications that should help make your recovery more comfortable and prevent infection. Most patients can return to a light workout routine within a few weeks.
