Articles Q&A With Dr Blau Dr. Mordcai Blau: A Review of Some High Profile Gynecomastia Patients
Winston Churchill once said,
“They say that nobody is perfect. Then they tell you practice makes perfect. I wish they'd make up their minds.”
Bodybuilders are always seeking to perfect their physiques whether by training in the gym, carefully monitoring their diets, or by visiting a skilled board certified plastic surgeon that they trust. In reality, nobody may be perfect, but bodybuilders sure strive to reach that holy grail 
of personal satisfaction. In that vein, one of the greatest sources of aggravation and frustration for today's physique athlete is the presence of gynecomastia (excessive breast tissue in men). Whether naturally occurring or self-induced by the use of exogenous steroidal hormones, "bitch tits"-- as they're commonly referred to in bodybuilding circles-- can result in a distorted or misshapen chest due to excessive glandular tissue found under the nipple and sometimes extending all the way into the armpit or axilla region.
I met Dr. Mordcai Blau for the first time back in 1991 when he was lecturing at the medical school I was attending at the time. Right off the bat, I sensed he was a warm, compassionate, man. In my eyes, he was someone who could be trusted. So I showed him the disturbing "hanging nipple region" of my chest, He immediately diagnosed the condition as "gynecomastia".
It's important to mention that, at the time, Dr. Blau had only performed gynecomastia surgery on a few bodybuilders (and all of them were on the smaller side). However, Dr. Blau's confident demeanor, the fact that he was board certified, and his artistic skill as an amateur sculptor put my mind at ease and led me to believe that he was the right man for the job. Being the neurotic individual that I am, I visited Dr. Blau in his office the very next day and, after taking a few photos of my chest and confirming the diagnosis, I scheduled surgery to have the tormenting glands removed.
I opted to be awake for the entire procedure-- it was cheaper without an anesthesiologist--- and it turned out to be a great decision. 45 minutes after first numbing my nipple region, Dr. Blau finished the procedure and he sent me home to start my recovery process.
Two weeks following my surgery, I was back in the gym training lightly. By the 4-week mark, I was lifting like I did prior to the surgery, and I had what looked like a brand new chest. Instead of sagging nipples with lumps under the skin, I had squared off pecs with muscle striations visible under the nipple. For the first time in my life, my chest looked "perfect" in my eyes. However, being the ever-striving bodybuilder that I was, that "content" feeling was short-lived as I found other imperfections-- weak upper pecs, undersized calves, and underdeveloped lats-- that now needed my fullest attention; but for the rest of my competitive career all the way up to the present, my pecs still radiate a touch of perfection thanks to Dr. Blau.
Since that faithful day, I referred over 500 bodybuilders to Dr Blau to have their unsightly gynecomastia removed. Indirectly, I'm probably responsible for thousands of bodybuilders who've made the pilgrimage to Dr. Blau's office in the quest for pectoral perfection. And, in the last 20 years, Dr. Blau has become the World's Number One gynecomastia surgeon. He removes more gynecomastia in 1 week than most plastic surgeons remove in a year. Remember, when you're dealing with cosmetic surgery, make sure you seek the surgeon who's most qualified in the condition you want fixed. When it comes to gynecomastia removal, no one is more qualified than Dr. Blau.
The following statements are testimonials from various top NPC Amateur and IFBB Pro Bodybuilders who've had great success employing the services of Dr. Blau.
Top NPC Bodybuilder PJ Braun was plagued with excessive mammory glands even as a child. "Growing up, I was pudgy until I started getting into sports and serious training. But the time I was in my early 20's I had built a pretty decent and lean physique but always had a puffy appearance to my nipp
les. This really embarrassed me but I figured I could focus on that area with specific moves in my training and a tighter diet. Once I got to the stage I could see through all my hard work that there was still some puffiness and tissue that would not disappear. It really frustrated me, so I spoke to my good friend Dave Palumbo and he referred me to Dr. Blau.
When I first met Dr. Blau I was impressed with his expertise in gynecomastia surgery, but also noticed the fine sculptures all over his office. When I asked about the sculptures he explained they were all done by him. This truly impressed me because the man is more than a surgeon; he's an advanced artist who really knows how to work with his hands! At this point I knew Dr. Blau was the doctor for me.
The surgery was simple and I was in and out within an hour. I healed great and I'm ecstatic about the end results! I didn't even need to be put asleep! Dr. Blau and his staff treated me like family and after the surgery I would pop in from time to time to chat because I knew Dr. Blau genuinely cared about me and my bodybuilding career. Looking back on it now you would never even know I had surgery because the scars aren't visible! I have since recommended lots of people to Dr. Blau, and Dr. Blau actually has patients call me if they are nervous about surgery! I consider him a friend now and highly recommend him!"
IFBB Pro Jason Arntz had his gynecomastia removed by Dr. Blau back in 1998 after noticing what a great job he did on my chest.
"When I first arrived at Dr. Blau's office, I was delighted by his professionalism and confidence as a surgeon. Also, seeing his patients come into the office while I was there gave me assurance that I was in the right place with the right Doctor. My surgery was a success. I did, however, experience some swelling and discomfort which was normal for the first couple days following the procedure. What really impressed me was that Dr. Blau and his staff contacted me throughout the days following my procedure to make sure I was ok and to ensure that I had everything that I needed. I recovered great and I had no problems or issues since then. I love the look and the detailed work that Dr. Blau did and due to the fact that I did this procedure for cosmetic reasons, I am extremely happy with the results.
Since then, I have referred over 10 people to Dr. Blau and they all love their results as well. Whenever people ask me for a top plastic surgeon, Dr. Blau is always the name that rolls off my lips."
Derek Anthony noticed the first signs of gynecomastia when he was in his early teens. He recalls exactly when he had his gynecomastia removed.
"I got the surgery when I was 21. My gyno was really bad. And let me tell you, it was the best money I've ever spent. I had absolutely no problems. The gyno never came back and my chest is one of my strongest attributes now. I always get complimented on it.
The procedure wasn't bad at all; I didn't even have to go "under". Being the badass that I am, I was awake for the whole operation. Dr. Blau put me at ease and made me feel very comfortable. I would refer anyone with gyno to Dr. Blau. I have referred friends and they all had positive experiences. If you want the best surgeon for gyno surgery, Dr. Blau is hands down the best. And you know DA tells it like it is!
Top NPC 
Bodybuilder, Chiropractor, and Active Release Techniques (ART) Practitioner, Dr. Durlan Castro, had an extremely noticeable case of gynecomastia that not only affected how he looked onstage, it affected his ability to effectively treat his patients. As Dr. Castro points out, "Gynecomastia not only looks bad, I found it to be painful, especially when adjusting my patients and administering physically intensive muscle therapies to my ART clients. In my mind, finding a competent doctor was essential to having a positive outcome that both looked and felt great. Dr. Blau's expertise in this procedure is why I chose him and why I have recommended him to many friends and patients."
When IFBB Pro Bodybuilder Dave Watson posed for me back in 1998 prior to competing in a local 
amateur bodybuilding contest, I cringed when I saw how bad his case of gynecomastia was. I told him that he needed to have those glands removed if he ever wanted to do damage on a national-level bodybuilding stage. "When Dave [Palumbo] told me I needed to have my gyno removed, I didn't even hesitate. I called Dr. Blau, and visited his office up in White Plains, NY. Owning my own automotive repair shop and taking pride in the work I do, I was pleasantly surprised to see all the amazing sculptures that Dr. Blau personally created covering the entire waiting room. He also had books filled with "before" and "after" photos of all the patients he personally worked on. This showed me that Dr. Blau, like me, was a man who took pride in his work. And, oh, was I ever right. He not only successfully removed my gynecomastia; his bedside manner was among the best of any physician I've ever been to. Now, when any bodybuilders complain to me of their embarrassing gyno, I immediately send them right to Dr. Blau. He's the best in the business!"
The above-mentioned cases are only a few of the thousands of satisfied patients that Dr. Blau has operated on over the last 20 years. After personally experiencing the procedure and witnessing the enormous number of success cases on his resume, I feel confident in saying that Dr. Blau is the #1 gynecomastia surgeon in the world.
