When a fellow plastic surgeon trusts you with family… that means everything.
A colleague from New Jersey referred his nephew to me because he doesn’t specialize in male plastic surgery. That level of trust is never taken lightly.
This young man presented with Grade 2 gynecomastia — excess gland and fatty tissue creating a rounded, feminized chest contour. For many men, this isn’t just physical. It affects how they dress, how they stand, how they show up in the world.
For his transformation, I performed:
▫️ Targeted liposuction to sculpt the chest periphery
▫️ Direct glandular excision to remove the dense tissue that liposuction alone cannot treat
▫️ Strategic contouring to restore a sharp, masculine border along the pectoralis
His postop photo? Just 5 days after surgery — before final swelling has even resolved — and already you can see a flatter, firmer, more athletic contour. He flew home shortly after, with a plan for virtual follow-ups.
Male plastic surgery is not simply “female surgery on a man.” It requires a completely different philosophy.
In women, we often enhance curves and softness.
In men, we must preserve strength, angles, and structure.
Over-resection can create a concavity.
Under-resection leaves fullness.
Poor scar placement or uneven gland removal can permanently distort the chest.
And here’s the truth:
Gynecomastia surgery is a one-shot operation.
Scar tissue from a poorly performed first surgery makes revisions exponentially more difficult. You don’t get unlimited chances to sculpt a masculine chest correctly.
Precision matters. Experience matters. Especially when you only get one opportunity to do it right.
