Abstract

Gynecomastia is the benign enlargement of the male breast. Gynecomastia can lead to feelings of shame and embarrassment. There are many surgical options for the treatment of Gynecomastia. In this study, the literature concerning the different surgical techniques of Gynecomastia was reviewed. A new technique "The Ellipse Technique" was presented in details. This technique is suitable for patients with excessive breast tissue and marked ptosis. Ten patients were operated upon using the Ellipse technique. The results have shown that the Ellipse technique allows precise control of the final symmetry of the corrected chest wall, the position, size and symmetry of the NAC in an easy, quick and easily learned manner. This study has shown that the Ellipse Technique yields excellent results with inconspicuous scars.
