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.
