Background: This study investigates the aesthetic outcomes
and safety of ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL)
in male chest definition for gynecomastia. Recognizing the
importance of patient satisfaction and safety, the research explores
the integration of UAL with a systematic zoning strategy
based on gynecomastia severity.
Objectives: The primary aim is to assess aesthetic outcomes
post-surgery, with specific objectives focused on gynecomastia
severity classification, pre-and post-operative
asymmetry, chest anthropometry changes, surgical procedures,
complications, and patient satisfaction.
Patients and Methods: A cohort of 42 male participants
underwent UAL for gynecomastia, with demographic data,
severity classification, and chronic illness recorded. Pre- and
post-operative asymmetry, chest anthropometry, surgical procedures,
complications, and patient satisfaction were meticulously
evaluated.
Results: Demographically, the cohort exhibited a mean
age of 33.25 years and a BMI of 27.95. Gynecomastia severity
varied, with 9.5% fatty, 19% glandular, and 71% mixed breast
density. Significant differences were observed in pre-and
post-operative asymmetry, chest circumference, and areolar
diameter. Surgical procedures aligned with established practices, including fat aspirated volume and duration. Complications
were infrequent, with a 59.5% patient satisfaction rate.
Conclusion: The integration of UAL with a systematic
zoning strategy demonstrates favorable aesthetic outcomes
and safety in male chest definition for gynecomastia. The
study supports the continued exploration of UAL in refining
gynecomastia procedures, with the need for larger-scale investigations.
