Liposuction and port site nipple-sparing mastectomy are viable options for treating grade I to II gynecomastia suggests a new study published in the BMC Surgery
Gynecomastia is characterized by unusually large masses that radiate concentrically from the base of the nipple and is caused by abnormal growth of the glandular tissue of the male breast. An alternative strategy for the surgical treatment of gynecomastia was used in this experimental study, which aims to use liposuction and port site nipple sparing mastectomy.
The study was conducted in the surgical oncology unit at Alexandria Main University Hospital included 103 patients with a mean age of 27 and no medical history. 100 patients had bilateral gynecomastia, and three patients had unilateral gynecomastia,with two having it on the right side and one on the left.
Results
Among the 103 participants, 83 had grade II gynecomastia and 20 had grade I. Only one of the three patients who participated in the study had an expanding hematoma on one side that needed to be surgically evacuated in the operating room. None of our patients experienced an infection or seroma following surgery. Furthermore, only three of our patients experienced nipple areolar complicated superficial epidermolysis, which need regular dressings until recovery. Of the 103 patients, 97 (94.17%) were pleased with the outcomes.
Liposuction and port site nipple sparing mastectomy are viable options for treating grade I to II gynecomastia, particularly if the patient prefers a more aesthetically pleasing chest contour; no scars equals better patient satisfaction.
