In a city where appearances matter and confidence fuels success, many men silently struggle with a condition that can be both physically and emotionally distressing—gynecomastia. Characterized by the enlargement of male breast tissue, gynecomastia affects millions of men across all age groups. Whether it’s due to hormonal imbalances, genetics, weight changes, or certain medications, the result can lead to self-consciousness, social withdrawal, and even avoidance of certain clothing or physical activities.
If you’re looking for a discreet, effective solution in New York City, Dr. Richard Swift, MD, a top-rated board-certified plastic surgeon, offers advanced gynecomastia treatments that restore a flatter, more masculine chest contour—and your confidence.
What Is Gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia is the medical term for enlarged male breasts caused by an imbalance of estrogen and testosterone. It’s more common than you might think and can affect one or both breasts. The condition may be temporary during adolescence, but for many men, it persists into adulthood.
Symptoms include:
Swollen or puffy breast tissue
Breast tenderness or sensitivity
Uneven chest appearance

What to Expect from the Procedure
Gynecomastia surgery typically involves:
Liposuction – For fat-dominant gynecomastia, liposuction helps remove excess fat through small incisions.
Excision – When glandular tissue or skin needs to be removed, Dr. Swift uses precise surgical techniques for optimal contouring.
Combination Approach – Many cases require both liposuction and tissue excision for the best outcome.
Most procedures are performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. Recovery time is minimal, and most patients return to work within a few days.

After gynecomastia surgery, you’ll notice a flatter, firmer, and more masculine chest. Clothes will fit better, your posture may improve, and you’ll likely feel more comfortable shirtless or at the gym. Dr. Swift ensures that scars are minimal and strategically placed for a natural look.
