Gynecomastia surgery in St Petersburg, FL offers men a way to reduce enlarged chest tissue and achieve a flatter, more masculine contour with the experienced care of Dr. Marvin Shienbaum at Brandon Plastic Surgery. Details about surgical options and techniques are available on the central gynecomastia surgery information page.
Gynecomastia Surgery Overview
Gynecomastia is a condition where men develop excess breast tissue, often related to hormones, genetics, medications, or weight changes. Dr. Shienbaum uses modern techniques such as liposuction, glandular excision, or a combined approach to remove unwanted tissue and refine the chest for a smoother, natural looking result. With more than 30 years of experience and double board certification, he personalizes each surgical plan to the patient’s anatomy while aiming to minimize visible scarring and support long term results.
Why St Petersburg Men Choose Dr. Marvin Shienbaum
Many men from St Petersburg are willing to cross the bay to Brandon for Dr. Shienbaum’s depth of experience in male breast reduction and his strong reputation throughout the Tampa Bay region. In addition to gynecomastia surgery, St Petersburg patients can consider other procedures for men such as male liposuction or body contouring for comprehensive aesthetic improvement. The accredited surgical setting and attentive staff help make the experience safe and comfortable from preoperative visits through follow up.

What to Expect from Treatment
During your consultation, Dr. Shienbaum evaluates the cause and pattern of gynecomastia, reviews your medical history, and explains whether liposuction, direct gland removal, or a combination is best for your chest. Surgery is designed to reduce breast fullness, correct any asymmetry, and enhance definition so clothing fits better and patients feel more comfortable at the beach, gym, or pool in St Petersburg. Most men return to light work and routine activities in about a week while wearing a compression garment to reduce swelling and support the new contour as it heals.
