A Focused Destination for Gynecomastia & Male Chest Surgery
The Long Island Gynecomastia Center is the gynecomastia-focused identity of Dr. Jonathan Lebowitz’s practice at Lebowitz Plastic Surgery.
For more than 30 years, Dr. Lebowitz has treated male chest concerns ranging from small puffy nipples and isolated breast gland to adult gynecomastia, bodybuilder gynecomastia and complex revision surgery.
The name may say Long Island, but the focus extends well beyond geography. Patients seeking Dr. Lebowitz’s individualized approach travel to his private surgical practice in Huntington, New York from throughout the United States and abroad.
The Long Island Gynecomastia Center Is Dr. Lebowitz.
The Long Island Gynecomastia Center and Lebowitz Plastic Surgery are not two unrelated surgical practices. They represent the same focused work of Dr. Jonathan Lebowitz at his Huntington, Long Island location.
If you originally found Dr. Lebowitz through the Long Island Gynecomastia Center, you are in the right place. His gynecomastia procedures, patient results, videos, reviews, recovery information and consultation process now live together here at Lebowitz Plastic Surgery.
Gynecomastia Is Not One Procedure for One Kind of Patient.
A teenager with a small gland beneath the nipple does not have the same chest as a 45-year-old man with gland, fat and loose skin — and neither has the same problem as a bodybuilder seeking revision after previous surgery.
Dr. Lebowitz evaluates what is actually creating the contour before deciding how it should be treated.
Dense breast tissue may create central fullness, nipple projection or a broader male breast.
Fatty tissue may contribute across the chest and extend toward the lateral torso.
Elasticity and previous stretching influence how the chest may re-drape after volume reduction.
Puffiness, inversion, size, position and symmetry can all affect the male chest contour.
The relationship between the overlying tissue and underlying muscle helps determine the final shape.
Scar tissue, residual gland or over-resection can completely change a revision strategy.
Gynecomastia Treatment by Anatomy, Age & Physique
The Long Island Gynecomastia Center has always treated more than one presentation of gynecomastia. These focused pages now make it easier to begin with the concern that most closely matches your own.
Teen Gynecomastia
Evaluation of persistent gynecomastia during adolescence, including development, stability and timing of treatment.
Adult Gynecomastia
Long-standing gland, chest fat, aging, weight history and skin quality in the adult male chest.
Bodybuilder Gynecomastia
Dense gland and nipple projection over an already lean, muscular and highly defined chest.
Hi-Def Gynecomastia
Male chest sculpting that goes beyond simply making the breast smaller and considers pectoral definition.
Puffy Nipples
A focused concern where a relatively small gland beneath the areola can create obvious outward projection.
Gland Removal
Direct excision of dense male breast tissue when liposuction alone cannot adequately address the problem.
Male Breast Reduction
An individualized approach to reducing and reshaping an enlarged male chest caused by gland, fat or both.
Pseudogynecomastia
Male chest enlargement caused primarily by fatty tissue rather than significant breast gland.
Inverted Nipple Correction
Correction of tissue that tethers the male nipple inward rather than pushing it outward.
Revision Gynecomastia
Evaluation of residual gland, craters, scar tethering, asymmetry and other concerns following previous surgery.
The Procedure Is Built Around the Chest in Front of Him.
There is no single technique that every gynecomastia patient needs. Dr. Lebowitz selects and combines techniques according to the anatomy he finds and the contour he is trying to create.
Direct Gland Excision
Dense breast gland can be directly removed when it is contributing to central fullness or nipple projection.
VASER 4D Hi-Def
Ultrasound-assisted VASER can address appropriate fatty tissue and help shape the surrounding male chest.
Skin Management
Skin quality is evaluated separately, with Renuvion or direct skin treatment considered where appropriate.
Fat Grafting
Strategic fat transfer may be considered when additional volume would improve a contour deficit or revision.
Scar Revision
Previous surgical scar tissue may need to be released when it is tethering the nipple or chest inward.
Male Chest Contouring
Dr. Lebowitz continually evaluates how gland, fat, skin and the underlying pectoral anatomy work together.
Local Anesthesia Can Become Part of the Sculpting Process.
For appropriately selected patients, Dr. Lebowitz performs many gynecomastia and male body-contouring procedures with the patient awake under local anesthesia in his private Huntington surgical setting.
For Dr. Lebowitz, that can be more than an anesthetic choice. A responsive patient can change position and activate the muscles beneath the chest while he evaluates the developing contour.
He may ask you to raise and reposition your arms, turn, flex your chest and contract the pectoral muscles. This allows him to see how the nipple, skin and remaining tissue behave over the underlying anatomy from more than one position.
That dynamic evaluation can be particularly valuable when the goal is not simply breast reduction, but a flatter and more naturally defined male chest.
Local anesthesia is not appropriate for every patient or every procedure. Dr. Lebowitz determines the anesthetic and surgical approach individually according to your health, anatomy and treatment plan.
Not Simply a Smaller Chest — a Better Male Chest Contour.
Gynecomastia treatment should not be judged only by how much tissue comes out.
Too little reduction can leave unwanted projection. Removing too aggressively beneath the nipple can create a hollow or cratered appearance. Treating the central chest without considering the lateral chest and surrounding torso can leave abrupt transitions.
Dr. Lebowitz’s objective is to reduce the unwanted breast-like contour while respecting the natural anatomy and proportions of the individual male chest.
Closure.
For some men, the chest has been on their mind since adolescence.
They have selected shirts around it. Avoided taking their shirt off. Tried losing more weight. Built more muscle. Learned how to stand, dress or pose so it attracts less attention.
Surgery cannot promise how someone will feel afterward, but it can address the physical anatomy that brought him to the consultation in the first place.
For Dr. Lebowitz, the goal is to understand exactly what bothers the patient, determine what can realistically be changed and create a surgical plan focused on bringing that chapter of the chest concern toward closure.
See the Chests. Watch the Patients. Read Their Experiences.
Before choosing a surgeon for gynecomastia, look beyond a single dramatic before-and-after photograph.
Review patients with different ages, builds and degrees of gynecomastia. Look at gland-only cases, bodybuilders, puffy nipples and revisions. Watch video results where you can see the chest move. Then read what patients say about their experience in their own words.
Located in Huntington, New York
Dr. Lebowitz sees and treats patients at his private practice in downtown Huntington on Long Island.
Patients Can Begin With Dr. Lebowitz From Wherever They Live.
Patients traveling from outside New York can begin with a virtual consultation before deciding whether to travel to Huntington for treatment.
Dr. Lebowitz can discuss the chest concern, review submitted photographs and explain what additional evaluation may be necessary before a surgical plan is finalized.
Your Chest. Your Anatomy. Your Plan.
Whether your concern is a small puffy nipple, a large gland, chest fat, asymmetry or the result of previous surgery, the first step is determining exactly what is creating the contour.
