Gynaecomastia, a benign male breast enlargement, often resolves spontaneously. Persistent cases may require subtotal mastectomy, with liposuction reducing surgical trauma and improving outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Plastic Surgery

Context:

  • Gynaecomastia affects adolescents and older adults, causing cosmetic and psychological distress.
  • Secondary causes usually require addressing the inciting factor; idiopathic forms often resolve spontaneously.
  • Persistent or severe cases may necessitate surgical intervention.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of surgical interventions for persistent gynaecomastia.
  • To assess outcomes of subtotal subcutaneous mastectomy and suction-assisted lipectomy.

Summary:

  • The study reviewed 47 patients with gynaecomastia.
  • 27 patients underwent subtotal subcutaneous mastectomy.
  • 18 patients received adjunctive suction lipectomy, reporting good results.
