He and his team offer body contouring, tummy tucks (abdominoplasty), facelifts, and other procedures that can enhance patients’ natural masculine appeal.

Last year I decided to get filled with Dr Steinbrech. Absolutely loved the results that I went ahead and got more done this year with two more syringes than before and the results were just as great as before. I would definitely go again next year, even considering a surgery. His approach to the procedure was excellent and the staff was great in handling it all. Highly recommended
After years of struggling with being underweight and feeling insecure, I sought to improve my body. Despite gaining weight, I was disappointed with the development of man boobs and a less flat tummy. My first procedure abroad, including a BBL and gynecomastia surgery, initially seemed successful but left me wanting more volume in my chest. Working in medical aesthetics in NYC, I knew I needed a revision. Extensive research led me to Dr. Steinbrech. I scheduled a consultation for chest implant surgery and abdominal etching with excitement but also some apprehension about potential pain. To my relief, the entire process, from the surgery day to recovery, was smooth and less daunting than anticipated, thanks to the excellent care and support from Dr. Steinbrech and his team. The recovery was manageable, with only some initial discomfort due to the compression garments and foams. The results have been nothing short of phenomenal. Just two months post-surgery, I confidently showed off my new physique at the beach, and after six months, the transformation is incredible. The scarring is minimal and fading quickly, and I'm confident that it will be barely noticeable in a year. Dr. Steinbrech has truly exceeded my expectations. If you're considering pec implants, he is undoubtedly the best choice. My previous surgeries required multiple corrections, but Dr. Steinbrech's expertise ensured a perfect result on the first attempt. His team is equally remarkable, always ready to assist and answer any questions. The investment in this procedure has been absolutely worth it. My chest looks natural and perfectly suits my body. I'm beyond thrilled with the outcome and highly recommend Dr. Steinbrech and his team for anyone seeking a similar transformation.
It takes a lot to impress me, so I don't pen many reviews. Nevertheless, when I witness someone going the extra mile and when I receive value from my investment, I make it a habit to let others know. Sometimes in life, we are fortunate to meet truly inspiring people; people that genuinely care and want to make a positive difference. Moreover, these inspirational people faithfully live by the Golden Rule; “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” These difference makers live with purpose, passion, and by design, to faithfully influence people’s lives. I suggest that Dr. Steinbrech, Joe, and the rest of his their team are these rare individuals. I could make this a long email detailing the many things Dr. S. has done to impress me, but I will make this a short kudos dispatch in the spirit of brevity by saying that if you are a male and considering cosmetic surgery, you must give Dr. S and his team an opportunity to earn your trust and confidence, as he epitomizes what Napoleon Hill said many years ago, “When you truly believe that the habit of going the extra mile is the only acceptable way to conduct yourself in your dealings with others when you are driven by a burning desire to serve your fellow man, you will be rewarded both financially and professionally.” I put forth that people like Dr. S., Joe, and the rest of the team are not the best because they work hard. They work hard because they are the best. Dr. Steinbrech is my kind of Doc, and I was incredibly fortunate to have him perform three surgeries during the past six years and I could not be more pleased with the results and his caring demeanor. I job well done, Dr. S, Joe, and the rest of the gang. I am grateful.
The heading my my review says it all...."Excellent Results Beyond My Wildest Expectations" At the age of 65 years old, I honestly didn't expect the results to be amazing...mesmerizing...incredible. But they were...and are. I never thought that I would have back the physique that I had at the age of 26. But at the age of 65, when I look in the mirror a 26 year old physique is reflected back at me. I'm in awe...everyone who has seen me is in awe. Dr. Steinbrech achieved for me what I thought would never be possible again. As we get older we dream of what it would be like to look the way we did when we were younger...and of course...we chalk it up to pipe dreams and fantasy. But these results are real...something that I never imagined could really happen. When I decided to go forward with my abdominoplasty, liposuction, and pectoral lift I was hoping to turn back the clock by 20 years. Never did I...in my wildest hopes...imagine that the clock would be turned back by almost 40 years. But here I am...a 65 year old man...with a 26 year old physique. Thank you, Dr. Steinbrech. Michael
I am so glad I found Dr. Steinbrech. I had a male enhancement procedure done by him involving filler. His focus on men is what caught my attention, but my experience with him and his entire team is what led me to write this review. There's no doubt Dr. Steinbrech is skilled and understands the male body. His technique made that very clear. But what I appreciated even more was his personable, professional and caring approach. And not just his, but his entire team's! Joe, the patient adviser, made my experience wonderful. Big shoutout to him! And the nurses were all super nice and down to earth, which made for a very comfortable experience. Highly recommend!
I went to consult with Dr S after a friend had gone to him and had a great result. Let me start by saying that everyone at the practice is extremely personable, laid back and knowledgable. Joe and Patrick are great people. Dr. S speaks like a man who has been doing this for a very long time. Listen to him, leave your ego at the door and watch the magic unfold. I went to Dr S to realize the final step in my weight loss journey. I had lost 110 Lb in total and had some skin I needed to get rid of. We did a 360 tuck (which I was hesitant about in terms of having a large scar), however, in hindsight, it was the only move to make to achieve perfection! I also did some lipo and body banking. I am now approximately 3 weeks post op and I can honestly say that everytime I look at myself in the mirror; I smile. That’s why we get these procedures done, right? I am so happy and I know my results are not even fully mature yet. The rest will be up to me in terms of upkeep. This man is a magician, he’s an artist - a sculptor. I can’t leave a high enough review. Really. There are good amateurs - and then there are great professionals. Dr S happens to be the latter. Updated on 3 Dec 2023: Here are some updated pics. Keep going everyone. Train and watch your results mature. Doctor S is a master. Cannot be happier. Changed my life for the better. Thank you to all………………………………….
At a very young age, I was constantly picked on for my "man boobs" and it has constantly been a source of stress my entire life. For nearly 15 years I've worn a chest compression garment to flatten my chest. Despite lots of exercise and weight loss, the problem only got worse with sagging skin. I feel like Dr Steinbrech and his team gave me an aspect of my masculinity back. I am still heavily recovering from the surgery with some swelling still, but I am already thrilled with the results. I can't wait to see the team again in about a year for some more work. In total I had pectoral implants, chest skin resection, nipple grafting, light abdominal etching, fat transfer to the pecs, and a tummy tuck. I love everything, but I am the most thrilled with the pectoral implants. They look and feel amazing. Now I am confident that when I lose weight, I won't be adding to the problem by adding even more excess skin. If you have the means to work with Steinbrech (he's not for budget shoppers) then you should seriously consider him. This was my first plastic surgery (it won't be my last) and I'm so glad I came here. But I won't lie to you ... recovery was BRUTAL particularly the first week. But pain is beauty, so they say. I am lucky to report that I had no complications. I will upload more pics in the coming months as the scar fade.Updated on 25 Jun 2021: Pretty much fully healed. Now I’m just working on this scar. So happy with the results!!!Updated on 25 Jul 2021: Scars are healing nicely. Feeling great. Updated on 18 Dec 2021: Here is 8 months post op and also the pre op photos for the work I am having done with dr steinbrech next week. Next week I am getting bicep and deltoid implants, muscle shadowing, and a touch up on abs with liposculpture.
The secret is out! Dr. Steinbrech has a magic wand that he uses to achieve plastic surgery perfection. I don't care when he tells me he doesn't, after going in for gynecomastia surgery and HD liposuction of the pectorals it's obvious no ordinary human could accomplish such a feat with his level of pristine craftsmanship. Definitely has a magic wand, or he's an alien that probably also helped build the Egyptian pyramids. Either way I am very grateful for selecting him out of all the top plastic surgeons I reviewed in the US and Europe.
When I look in the mirror now, I still cannot believe my eyes! I'm a 59 year old male who now has the ads, mid section and glutes of a 30 year old! It's unbelievable! During my consult, Dr Steinbrech provided his recommendations that would yield the best results. I trusted his assessment and I am beyond satisfied. The results FAR exceeded my expectation. I am now 6 months out from surgery and I still pinch myself when I look in the mirror. I plan to have Dr S do my face next. Can't wait!!!
I was a bit reluctant and not too hopeful when looking for a male plastic surgeon in NYC but I’m glad my research led me to Dr. Steinbrech. He truly is an ARTIST! I’ve had several consultation sessions, all very informative and reassuring. I felt at ease and very confident to go through with the procedures after we worked out all the details. Surgery and followup visits went smoothly, he and his team are always available to assist even post-surgery. Best part is the phenomenal results! It is obvious that Dr Steinbrech is passionate about what he does. I might have had really high expectations but still, he managed to pull it off and also did a fantastic job at concealing the scars! My self-confidence has shot through the roof and it keeps getting better by the day with regular weightlifting.
When I look at your picture I can see that you indeed have some excess fat and in your abdominal wall as well as your flanks. I think that you would benefit from aggressive liposuction of the flanks and you would be able to have a mini tummy tuck to bring down the tissues but keep the scar as small as possible and hidden underneath your underwear and within the trimmed hair of your pubic line. It may be possible in your case to keep the incision very small on the front I can give you the best possible result. I would also use BodyBanking to plug lipocells into your shoulders or your chest or your traps and your biceps to take advantage of the structure and volume to give you the best result. Just make sure that when looking for a doctor that he is board certified and that he has tons of before and after photos. Thanks so much I hope this serves her house good luck
The honest truth about your flanks. After you have had a massive weight loss it’s clear that the skin on your tummy and your abdomen is going to be loose and saggy and absolutely needs to be touched. However many times the tissues of the flagnk are misdiagnosed and both patients and doctors think that it’s only fat but it’s actually excess skin that has been stretched out because I have a muffin top from an additional 20 kg or 40 pounds. The mistake is for the doctor and the patient to think if you suck out more faster than that one through the contour. Unlike women, men will gladly trade and amazing results with a torso that looks like a 20 something-year-old for the incisions that are below their speedo line anyway. It is a mistake to think that you can achieve this without punching out the excess skin on the love handles. Just make sure that you look at the website of the surgeon to understand the techniques and make sure that they have as many before and Afters as possible for a 270 torso talk to be able to get the results that you want. Good luck. I hope this helps.
I see a lot of patients who have had surgery but have not had a complete transformation. If you’re only treating part of the problem the final results will be less than desired. In my practice we go for a total torso transformation which means the shoulders the chest and the thighs need to be addressed for a complete transformation. In your case to complete this scenario and give you more masculine appearance we would need to do a BodyBanking quarterback butt lift which means we will take all of the fat from the two sides of the glutes, the outer thighs the saddlebags and the Flanks and then we bank those lipocells to add volume to have projection to your glutes to give them a more rounded speedo bubble butt. Addition and subtraction with BodyBanking we can use the fat cells like the clay the master would use for sculpture to achieve your greatest results. The greatest benefit of this is that postoperatively now that the fat cells have been transferred to the desired areas you can relax and enjoy a nice dessert and get greater projection from the food and carbohydrates that you’ve eaten right now go to enhancing the projection of your new Quarterback athletic glutes.
This is a typical body type that I see over and over again in my male plastic surgery practice. This can be treated very effectively with BodyBanking by moving lipocells away from undesired areas such as your chest or your hips and isolating those cells and banking them back in for structure and volume to desired areas such as the upper chest, shoulders the traps and the biceps. The power of lipocell transfer or fat grafting will give you a completely new silhouette for a total torso transformation and will allow you to enjoy dessert after dinner or a doughnut with breakfast because now the carbs from those foods will populate the cells that and have been transplanted to allow your shoulders to get big or your chest to raise up and your trapezoids to pop. Make sure when you searching for your surgeon they have a lot of before and after photos particularly before photos that match your body type. I hope this helps. Good luck
This is a great question that a lot of people ask. There are generally four or five serious pec implant makers. All of them have to be approved by the FDA to be used in the United States and all of them are patented. The most important thing regarding the implants is to speak with your doctor about the type of implant in terms of shape and in terms of firmness. Some of the implants are too hard and some of the implants are too soft so you want to make sure you work with an experienced surgeon who can show you a variety of implants from different companies and help you make an informed decision. The best advice is to do your research and make sure that your surgeon is board certified and and ASAPS Surgeon and has a lot of pictures of pec implants, also make sure they have happy patients that you can speak with. I hope this helps
