Gynecomastia Treatment by Boston Cosmetic Surgeon Dr. Bartlett

If you are among the estimated 40 to 60 percent of men suffering from excess tissue in either one or both breasts, you are not alone. Development of breast tissue in males, especially young men around adolescence, is incredibly common. The condition, called gynecomastia, also can occur in older men, men on medications, or men who have lost a significant amount of weight. When the development of breast tissue becomes obvious it can have a devastating effect on self esteem and will often keep men from ever removing their shirt in public.

Boston cosmetic surgeon Richard A. Bartlett, M.D. is one of New England’s foremost experts in gynecomastia and male breast reduction. He teaches his male breast reduction techniques at the Harvard Medical School and also lectures on the subject of gynecomastia. Dr. Bartlett has helped numerous patients from throughout New England regain their confidence by fixing this benign, but psychologically disturbing problem. He finds that male breast reduction surgery has a high rate of patient satisfaction because results are so dramatic.
