Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Male Aesthetic Surgery

Background:

  • Gynecomastia is a common condition in males with varied presentations.
  • Individualized surgical planning is crucial due to diverse patient expectations and body types.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a comprehensive classification system for male gynecomastia.
  • To establish a reconstructive algorithm for tailored surgical plans.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 522 patients treated for bilateral gynecomastia (2007-2019).
  • Classification based on BMI, muscular trophism, mammary hypertrophy, nipple-areola complex, and gland/skin consistency.
  • Subcutaneous mastectomy performed under direct vision.

Main Results:

  • No recurrence or major complications (e.g., necrosis) observed.
  • High patient satisfaction reported across all groups.
  • Histological examination confirmed no breast cancer; operative time 25-120 min, hospitalization 1-3 days.

Conclusions:

  • A comprehensive classification system and reconstructive algorithm are proposed.
  • The proposed system correlates physical status with clinical features for effective surgical planning.
