Axillary approach for gynecomastia liposuction

Tóm tắt

Liposuction through an axillary incision is used to treat pseudogynecomastia and true gynecomastia. It avoids the large undermining between the skin and the muscular plane that frequently occurs with usual procedures. When true gynecomastia is present, liposuction can be combined with an inferior periareolar incision for resection of the remaining glandular tissue. Unlike usual procedures that can lead to deep skin adherence, depression in the mammary area, or nipple-areola complex deformity, liposuction provides a well-defined contour for the male breast.
