Gynecomastia Surgery BEFORE & AFTERS | Patient 22035

Patient Details

This is advanced gynecomastia. It’s advanced because of the sagging of his chest tissue and the downward direction of his nipple areola complexes. Most general trained plastic surgeons would likely recommend skin removal treatment as this is what they were taught to recommend in a female patient with sagging breasts. BUT THIS IS NOT THE CASE IN THE MALE CHEST. I have learned that in all cases the nipple-areola complexes retract in an upwards and medial direction. This is a good thing because that is exactly where his nipple-areola complexes need to be if it is to look normal. You can appreciate his 8 month result. The skin and nipple-areola complexes have retracted to a very good position. He does have some minor scar tissue on one side which I have been treating with periodic steroid injections. He has some fine creases on both sides. The transformation is HUGE and quite natural although “imperfect” but I have been able to achieve this without the necessity of skin removal with big scars. Let me remind you that there is nothing wrong with skin removal in the properly selected cases where I feel the patient’s skin has reached it’s limit and will not retract and redistribute in a good enough way to make the patient and I happy. This is a judgement call that perfected after your surgeon has managed and followed up thousands of gynecomastia cases. How many surgeons have this experience? Notice the tape applied to his chest. This is used to secure the skin at the best location right of my operating room table to ensure the very best possible results. I would call this result a bit better than the typical outcome with similarly shaped chests prior to treatment. Stay tuned for my Advanced Gynecomastia section of my website to experience more outcomes so you can decide if this non-skin removal option is a good fit for your gynecomastia.
