Abstract
- Gynecomastia is the most common condition affecting the male breast due to enlargement of both ductal and stromal tissue. Growth of the male breast can be manifested at any age, but 40% of cases present in adolescent boys. The condition depends mainly on the balance between serum estrogens and androgens. Gynecomastia represents a source of embarrassment, and optimal correction is difficult to achieve. Numerous methods of gynecomastia repair are available. Our method is a combination of liposuction and the pull-through technique. The purpose of this treatment is to resect excess tissue and restore the normal chest contour with minimal scarring. We report a case of gynecomastia treated with a combination of tumescent liposuction and the pull-through technique.
