    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Surgical Techniques

    Background:

    • Gynecomastia correction traditionally involves suction lipectomy combined with sharp dissection and skin excision.
    • Previous methods often required invasive procedures for complete tissue removal.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a refined suction lipectomy technique for correcting gynecomastia.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of using suction lipectomy exclusively for gynecomastia treatment.

    Main Methods:

    • A novel technique utilizing sequential cannula sizes (7-mm and 2.4-mm) for adipose and glandular tissue removal.
    • Involves undermining subcutaneous tissue for contouring and skin contraction.
    • No sharp dissection or skin excision required.

    Main Results:

    • Successful correction of gynecomastia in 10 patients.
    • Effective for gynecomastia caused by excess fat or parenchymal hypertrophy.
    • Patients resume full activities within 48 hours.

    Conclusions:

    • Exclusive suction lipectomy is a viable and effective method for gynecomastia correction.
    • This technique simplifies the procedure and potentially reduces recovery time.
    • Further results from 10 patients demonstrate the technique's success.
