Brooklyn men looking for gynecomastia surgery usually weigh two things: whether the trip to Manhattan is worth it, and whether the process can stay private. Dr. Itay Wiser's office is at 535 Fifth Avenue in Midtown, just five to seven minutes from the nearest subway station, and the first consultation can be by video; surgery and all follow-ups are in person. This page covers the logistics; the procedure itself is explained on the gynecomastia surgery page.
Getting to the office from Brooklyn
- Downtown Brooklyn, Brooklyn Heights, Park Slope. 4 or 5 train to Grand Central, about twenty minutes, then a five-minute walk.
- Williamsburg, Bushwick. L train to Union Square, then the 4, 5 or 6 to Grand Central; about thirty minutes.
- Bay Ridge, Sunset Park. R train to Fifth Avenue and 59th Street, about forty-five minutes; or express bus to Midtown.
- Flatbush, Crown Heights. 2, 3, 4 or 5 train toward Manhattan; the 4 or 5 reaches Grand Central directly.
- By car. Brooklyn Bridge or Battery Tunnel to Midtown, about thirty minutes outside rush hour; garages on 44th and 45th Streets near Fifth Avenue.
The virtual consultation
- Book a video slot online at a time that suits you.
- Upload photographs securely through the link the practice sends (front and side, arms relaxed).
- On the call Dr. Wiser reviews whether the tissue looks glandular or fatty, explains the technique that fits and whether insurance may apply, and answers your questions.
- The coordinator sends a written estimate and, if you proceed, books an in-person visit for examination and planning.
- All follow-ups are in person in Manhattan.
Discretion
The office is a private suite on the 32nd floor; appointments are scheduled so waiting is minimal; nothing in the building or the paperwork identifies the procedure. Many Brooklyn patients schedule surgery on a Friday and return to work the following week.
What to expect
The gynecomastia surgery in NYC page explains gland versus fat, the grades and the techniques; the recovery guide shows the week-by-week timeline; and the cost guide covers insurance and self-pay. For the self-check men ask about first, see gynecomastia or just chest fat.
