Objectives: To compare between no vertical scar and
circumareolar scar for surgical treatment of high-grade gynecomastia
as regard patient satisfaction score.
Background: Surgical treatment is increasing in rate in
the last few years; and aesthetic reconstructive surgery is
increasingly desired in grade 3 and 4 of Gynecomastia, this
study will help us to determine the best choice for our patients.
Methods: This is a prospective, comparative, randomized
and descriptive study of 30 male patients suffering from
enlargement of the breast size. The patients were divided into
two groups; Group A subjected to no vertical scar technique
(15 patients). Group B subjected to donut circumareolar
technique (15 patients). Both groups were compared for patient
satisfaction score.
Results: Using of donut circumareolar technique in comparison
to no vertical scar technique leads to statistically
significant post-operative patient satisfaction score.
Conclusion: Using of donut circumareolar technique has
a beneficial effect on increasing patient satisfaction.
