Gynecomastia is the development of abnormal breast tissue on men, tiny or huge, and normally on both sides. The term comes from the Greek gyne meaning woman and mastos meaning breast. One out of three American adults suffers from some degree of enlarged male breast. Gynecomastia can cause feelings of embarrassment and awkwardness.

Dr. Jacobs is a highly skilled, experienced and patient surgeon. We met Dr. Jacobs in his practice in Manhattan in 2019 after we did extensive research about top surgery for our son. Dr. Jacobs designed his own tools for surgery and he did surgery on our son in a minimally invasive manner. Dr. Jacob was the only doctor qualified to perform such a painstaking procedure. Dr. Jacobs offered us a very personalized experience, and his staff was always readily available to assist us. Dr. Jacobs was always willing to answer any questions we had and made the pre surgery, the surgery and the recovery process as comfortable as possible.

Thanks to Dr. Jacob's top surgery our son is today a happier young man about to graduate from college. We will always be very grateful to Dr. Jacobs for contributing to our son's smooth gender transition process.

I was lucky enough to be able to schedule my surgery with Dr. Jacobs in his last few months in NYC. My consultation appointment to surgery date was only a month long. My surgery results are exactly what I hoped for, and I knew my instinct to choose him as my surgeon was spot-on. Dr. Jacobs was very welcoming and affirming. I am a non-binary person who is NOT on testosterone, and he understood what my goals were.

I am now 6 months post op my chest looks completely natural and I'm pretty much completely healed Surgery was quick and painless, I woke up with no drains, no grogginess, and had full conversations with everyone in the office before getting up and walking myself out. Recovery went perfectly with no complications, which is lucky, but your chances of having complications are much lower if you closely follow his instructions with the post-op compression garments. Much love to Dr. Jacobs and his staff. Highly recommend to my trans friends in Florida! :

I couldn't have asked for a better experience nor surgeon than that of Dr. Elliot Jacobs and his team/staff. My time spent with him was very pleasant and to the point but don't let that discourage you from asking him any questions or bringing up your concerns because trust me, Dr. Jacobs is more than willing to sit down with you and help you step by step of the way.

And if by any chance after the appointment you may have any questions or concerns in regards to your procedure, payment, prescriptions, appointments, etc then his staff will be more than delighted to answer the phone and help out whichever way they can. My procedure went smoothly without any problems and the twilight sleep used (anesthesia) does wonders when it comes down to waking up and going about your day (which I advise against, just rest on your first day lol) but you could go out if you needed lol. which goes to show you how my experience during recovery went but after surgery you're immediately followed up by both Dr. Jacobs and his staff and they stay in contact with you up until you're cleared.

He's a surgeon who's been doing this for years and his team has been by his side throughout his journey/career, he's seen it all but he treats every case individually as if it were his first and for that reason I couldn't recommend him enough. Thank you again Dr. Elliot Jacobs and team/staff.

If you're reading this, you were probably researching Gynecomastia then later on leading to Dr Elliot Jacobs who specializes in the correction of the condition. I was also in your shoes many years ago before finally considering surgery in my 30s (I've had Gynecomastia since I was a teen, it is never too late to correct it!) You are not alone. The psychological effects and mental anguish the condition brings is very difficult to deal with. Dr. Jacobs solved these problems for me. I'm happy with the results and can't be thankful enough!

My experience with Dr. Elliot Jacobs and his team was nothing short of phenomenal. Between the incredible results, feeling safe with the team, and Cathy supporting me on insurance reimbursement, I can't think of any other way the team could have exceeded my expectations. Surgery is stressful, especially when you're out of state, but I am so thankful to have their support through all of it. If you are thinking of FTM Top Surgery, I highly recommend looking toward Dr. Elliot Jacobs.

Ever since my teenage years I had suffered from gynecomastia and had to deal with the constant struggles of wearing baggy clothes that would hide my condition and the feeling of insecurity whenever I would remove my shirt. When I decided to finally get the operation done I looked for the best possible person for the job which was Dr. Jacobs. Him and his staff are extremely professional, helpful, and patient with any questions you may have during the entirety of the pre-op and post-op.

The whole operation and post-operation is extremely easy and as long as you follow the very clear instructions given to you for the post-op you will love your results. I would recommend Dr. Jacobs to anyone who wishes to see a doctor who is passionate and talented at what he does.

Dr. Jacobs is a very professional surgeon who used an effective surgical technique that produced an excellent result for my transgender son. The office staff is friendly with good communication. The doctors and nurses were welcoming and made my son feel at ease throughout the procedure which was performed in an accredited surgical suite within the Park Ave office, eliminating the need to be in a hospital setting. I highly recommend Dr. Jacobs and his team, we had a great experience.

As someone who had been suffering from gynecomastia since my overweight teenage years, I made it a mission to seek out the best possible plastic surgeon and I'm thrilled that I found that surgeon in Dr. Jacobs. Dr. Jacobs and his team were incredibly communicative and helpful through every step of the process, both pre and post-operative, and really strived to make me feel as comfortable as possible.

The surgery itself, as well as post-op care, were an absolute breeze and I couldn't have asked for better final result. I highly recommend Dr. Jacobs to anyone seeking a surgeon who is honest, compassionate, and most importantly, EXTREMELY talented at what he does. Would see him again in a heartbeat!

Dr. Jacobs and his staff are a perfect example of what it means to truly provide patient centered care. They are all very receptive and helpful in organizing your procedure and will do their best to answer any question. As for the surgery, I couldn't have asked for a better surgeon than Dr. Jacobs. He took his time to thoroughly explain to me what was going to happen throughout the entire process which included pre-op, surgery, and post op.

Surgery was about as smooth as it can get. Dr. Jacobs skills are without a doubt top class. Recovery has been going well and pretty much pain free. I am incredibly pleased by the results of my gynecomastia surgery and am happy to finally be able to wear white shirts again.
