      Why Dr. Applebaum?

      Patient care, trust and your satisfaction with good outcomes are my upmost concern.

      Gynecomastia, or excessive male breast tissue, can make even the most confident many feel self conscious or uncomfortable while shirtless. Although the condition is quite common, many men avoid situations in which they want to wear a fitted t-shirt or they need to be shirtless because of embarrassment about their physique. Gynecomastia most commonly occurs as a result of hormone changes, and while it isn’t dangerous, it can cause self consciousness and anxiety in situations that require the patient to wear form-fitting clothes or go shirtless, such as at the beach or in the bedroom. Men with gynecomastia often have excess fat localized in the breasts, excess glandular tissue development, and/or excess breast skin in one or both breasts. No matter what the cause of your gynecomastia, Dr. Applebaum can help you find your confidence and improve your physique with male breast reduction surgery.

      Male breast reduction surgery performed by Dr. Applebaum helps to minimize the appearance of excessive breast tissue. Dr. Applebaum uses his decades of experience performing breast surgery to make an incision around the nipple, which allows him to surgically remove excess fat, glandular tissue and/or skin from one or both breasts. Next, Dr. Applebaum typically uses liposuction to contour the chest and restore a more masculine profile. Men who have experienced severe gynecomastia may also need modifications of the nipple, as the extra breast tissue can cause the breasts to sag and stretch the areola, or darker skin around the nipple. In these situations, Dr. Applebaum can surgically improve the position and size of the areola, resulting in an upper body with better proportions and a more masculine contour.

      Testimonial

      I have seen my fair share of surgeons before meeting Dr. Applebaum and there are no words that can describe how incredible he is. From the second I entered his office, I felt an immediate feeling of trust and respect. His staff, made out of the most wonderful, smart ladies, made me feel at home and taken care of. Dr. Applebaum is THE most caring, attentive, incredible surgeon I have ever met and most of all he is an artist. I would have never dreamt of achieving the results I am now seeing everyday  thanks to him. I will be forever thankful to all the help he has given me. Please look no further, in a city like LA it is very hard finding someone that will understand who you are and what you want without being biased by the standards of this city.

      GYNECOMASTIA SURGERY FAQs

      Men who have prominent breast tissue that creates a visible breast mound on the chest area and desire a more contoured chest.   If there is any history of endocrine disorders they must be corrected prior to undergoing any surgery.  

      The fibrous breast tissue that is removed is considered permanent.  If significant weight gain occurs some of the fullness can return.    There are some conditions that can cause recurrence of the breast tissue.

      For minor to moderate gynecomasia a small incision under the areola is well hidden and generally heals well.  For severe gynecomastia with excess skin additional incisions around the nipple with a vertical and horizontal incisions on the skin to lift the breast. 

      The risks include loss of nipple sensation,  hematoma, seroma collection and contour irregularities.
