Before & After Photos: Brookline & Boston Male Breast Reduction Patients
We have patients come from all over the city, including Brookline, to the Gynecomastia of Boston. Check out just some of our successful male breast reduction results!
What is Gynecomastia Surgery?
Gynecomastia surgery removes excess glandular tissue, fat, and sometimes skin to create a firmer, more contoured chest. The procedure may involve:
- ✔ Liposuction to remove fat and sculpt the chest
- ✔ Gland Excision to eliminate dense breast tissue
- ✔ Skin Tightening for patients with excess skin
Most procedures are performed under general anesthesia, and patients return home the same day.
Why Choose Male Chest Contouring?
Many men seek gynecomastia surgery to feel more comfortable in fitted clothing, at the gym, or at the beach. Male chest contouring can:
- Enhance confidence and self-image
- Create a firmer, more masculine appearance
- Improve posture and comfort in physical activities
If you feel uncomfortable with your chest, man boob surgery can provide a permanent solution.
Am I a Good Candidate for Male Breast Reduction?
You may benefit from gynecomastia surgery if you:
- Have excess chest tissue that won’t go away with diet or exercise
- Experience discomfort, tenderness, or self-consciousness
- Are in good overall health and at a stable weight
- Have realistic expectations about the results
During your consultation, we will evaluate your concerns and design a personalized treatment plan.
What to Expect During Recovery
Recovery is smooth and manageable for most patients. Here is a general timeline:
- First Week: Wear a compression garment 24/7 to reduce swelling and support healing
- One to Two Weeks: Most patients return to work and light activities
- Four to Six Weeks: Avoid heavy lifting and strenuous exercise
- Long-Term: Results are typically permanent with a flatter chest contour becoming more visible as swelling subsides
Dr. Shektman uses advanced techniques to minimize scarring, placing incisions discreetly near the areola or in natural chest folds.
How Much Does Gynecomastia Surgery Cost?
The cost of male breast reduction depends on several factors, including:
- The severity of gynecomastia and whether liposuction, gland excision, or skin removal is needed
- Facility Fees
- Anesthesia Fees
During your consultation, we will provide a detailed cost estimate based on your individual needs. Some cases may qualify for insurance coverage if deemed medically necessary.

At the Gynecomastia Center of Boston, your gynecomastia (male breast reduction) surgery will be performed by one of the premier gynecomastia surgeons in Massachusetts.
Dr. Arthur Shektman has deep expertise in all types of gynecomastia surgery, including:
- Adult Gynecomastia Surgery: Adult gynecomastia is a condition usually attributed to a hormonal imbalance between testosterone and estrogen.
- Adolescent Gynecomastia Surgery: Adolescent gynecomastia occurs in boys going through puberty and is caused by fluctuations in the natural levels of testosterone and estrogen.
- Bodybuilder Gynecomastia Surgery: The use of anabolic steroids or prohormones can trigger the onset of gynecomastia, which can be remedied through gynecomastia surgery.
- Gynecomastia Revision Surgery: If you have undergone an initial gynecomastia surgery that was either performed improperly or healed poorly, gynecomastia revision surgery might be a great option for you.
- Psuedogynecomastia Surgery: Pseudogynecomastia is characterized by an excess buildup of fatty tissue in the chest, which closely resembles the look of actual gynecomastia.
- Puffy Nipple Gynecomastia Surgery: “Puffy nipple” describes the swelling of the nipples and the adjacent areolar regions. While it may be less noticeable, it can nonetheless lead to considerable discomfort for individuals experiencing it.
- Senior Gynecomastia: While gynecomastia can occur at any age, it becomes increasingly prevalent among seniors due to various factors, including hormonal changes, medications, and age-related health conditions.
- Gynecomastia After Weight Loss: Gynecomastia can also be found in adult males who have undergone significant weight loss. In such cases, excess skin and tissue may remain, contributing to the appearance of enlarged breasts.
As one of the forefront leaders in gynecomastia treatment, we utilize the latest techniques in minimally invasive male breast reduction surgery to ensure superior surgical results and make the recovery process as swift and smooth as possible.
