Services
Gynecomastia Surgery
Specialized surgical correction for enlarged male breast tissue maintains chest symmetry while preserving workout capacity. Our technique minimizes scarring and incorporates post-operative training guidance to maintain fitness progress during recovery. Patients benefit from Dr. Silverman's dual expertise as both a board-certified plastic surgeon and competitive bodybuilder.
Body Contouring
Customized procedures address excess skin and fat deposits while respecting muscular development. Techniques include tummy tucks, liposuction, and skin excision performed with attention to maintaining athletic proportions. Post-operative care plans integrate gradual return to training regimens to protect surgical results.
Breast Augmentation
Tailored breast enhancement for both cosmetic and reconstructive needs focuses on natural movement and proportionality. Submuscular placement techniques accommodate active lifestyles while minimizing visible implant edges. Special attention is given to tissue quality and long-term implant positioning.
Non-Surgical Injectables
Minimally invasive options include neuromodulators and dermal fillers that complement surgical results. Services feature Botox, Juvderm, and Sculptra administered with precision to enhance facial contours without downtime. Treatment plans consider patients' fitness routines and recovery needs.
Scar Revision
Advanced techniques improve the appearance of existing surgical scars while maintaining tissue functionality. Procedures address hypertrophic scars and uneven texture through layered approaches that promote optimal healing. Outcomes prioritize both aesthetic improvement and skin integrity.

Questions
What is gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia is male breast tissue enlargement caused by hormonal changes, medications, or lifestyle factors. Our surgical correction removes excess tissue while preserving chest aesthetics and function.
How soon can I workout after surgery?
Most patients resume light activity within 1-2 weeks. Full training resumes gradually over 4-6 weeks, following personalized recovery plans that protect surgical results while maintaining fitness.
Do you treat athletic injuries?
While our focus is aesthetic surgery, we address trauma-related deformities and sports injury reconstructions. Consultations assess whether your specific needs align with our expertise in body contouring.
Are implants safe for athletes?
Yes. We use techniques that accommodate active lifestyles, including submuscular placement and careful tissue handling. Post-operative protocols ensure implants integrate safely with training regimens.
How are results maintained?
Long-term outcomes depend on stable weight, proper nutrition, and consistent training. Our surgical techniques prioritize structural integrity to maintain results alongside active lifestyles.

I've been going to Dr. Silverman for years for Botox and occasional fillers. He always does exactly what I ask and I'm always very pleased. He is very professional, kind and on time. Office staff is wonderful as well. I refer all my friends, I highly recommend him. Love my Botox!

Rick is an AMAZING surgeon, I have seen so much of his work in the fitness community and had work done myself and I can't thank him enough. He is a pro-bodybuilder so he understands body symmetry better than most surgeons and has a keen eye for perfection

Terrible experience, he is not a good doctor, he charged me $300 for a procedure and 6 months later i went back to have the same procedure and he charged me 1800$. He is a thief and he has no skills. Stay away!
