Sub-nipple Incision for Gland Resection in Gynecomastia, Combined with High-Definition Liposculpture Principles:...

Area of Science:

• Plastic Surgery
• Surgical Techniques

Background:

• Gynecomastia correction involves removing glandular and fat tissue.
• Aggressive removal risks contour irregularities and scarring; insufficient removal risks recurrence.

Purpose of the Study:

• To present a novel, minimally invasive technique for gynecomastia correction.
• To achieve adequate glandular tissue removal with minimal scarring and improved aesthetic outcomes.

Main Methods:

• A technique involving fat removal with a small power-assisted liposuction cannula (≤3mm).
• Subsequent glandular resection through a small incision (7mm) at the nipple base.
• Integration of high-definition liposculpture principles.

Main Results:

• The described method enhances the moldability of retroareolar fibroglandular tissue.
• Facilitates adequate gland removal while minimizing scarring and improving chest contour.
• Achieves superior aesthetic results compared to traditional methods.

Conclusions:

• This minimally invasive technique offers an effective approach to gynecomastia correction.
• It balances adequate tissue removal with aesthetic considerations, reducing risks of complications.
• The method holds promise for improved patient outcomes in male breast reduction surgery.
