What is Gynecomastia Surgery?

Watch this video by Samuel Shatkin Jr., MD, a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in Buffalo, NY as he explains the gynecomastia procedure and how it’s used to correct unwanted fullness in the male chest.

Many men are bothered by fullness in their breasts. The condition is called gynecomastia. We can reduce gynecomastia fullness with a surgical procedure, sometimes as minimal as liposuction, with a very small incision and sometimes with a little bit more involved incision around the areola to remove the unwanted fullness behind the nipple and the areolar complex.

”Very professional, courteous office staff. Dr Shatkin and his APP Michelle are excellent. They are personable, confident in what they do and most of all made me feel comfortable during simple procedures and through my surgery. I highly recommend to anyone looking for something as simple as laser treatment, injectables or for any surgical procedure.”
