Abstract

Gynecomastia is the commonest clinical breast condition
in males. This study had described surgical approaches done
for different grades of gynecomastia. Eighty seven cases had
been operated for gynecomastia were analyzed in this study
from 2016 to 2019. One hundred and sixty three breasts, the
clinical data regarding patients' satisfaction, breast size, breasts
symmetry, shape and symmetry of the nipple areola complex
and shape of their scars were evaluated. All cases were satisfied
about the results of surgery; however patients with grade IV
showed concerns about scars. Plastic surgeons treat many
male patients that complain of breast enlargement and ask for
surgical correction of their deformities. A surgical algorithm
is needed for management of different grades of gynecomastia.
Breast size, glandular ptosis and skin redundancy are the
critical factors for the choice of the surgical technique
