摘要
The treatment of larger types of gynecomastia is significantly different than that of less severe gynecomastias. Special concerns of the former include aerola enlargement, nipple-areola ptosis, and redundant skin. Many procedures have been described to address these issues, none of which is completely satisfactory; these are reviewed here. Unsatisfactory results may be due to residual breast hypertrophy, skin redundancy, complications related to nipple-aerola placement, form and viability, and cosmetically unacceptable scars. We describe a new technique that uses an inferior pedicle to reposition the nipple-areola complex and to maintain its neurovascular integrity and form. A superiorly based chest wall flap in conjunction with suction-assisted lipectomy maximizes chest wall contour. There are no breast mound scars, only a periareolar and inframammary scar.
