Breast Gallery

A 17 yo with gynecomastia since the age of 12. THi botheres him with shirts on and off. He wears extra shirts to camouflage his chest and has been taping his breasts down with adhesive tape to hide their appearance. He does not have a history of marijuana or anabolic steroid use, two common causes of female breast development in a male. He is shown before and again, 4 months after bilateral gynecomastia surgery with External Ultrasound assisted, Power Assisted liposuction using the S.A.F.E. technique (Suction Aspiration Fat Equalization) combined with a direct excision of breast tissue through a periareolar incision. He has been active at the gym since he was released back to exercise 6 weeks after his surgery. Scars will continue to fade for 2 years- faint pink scars can still be seen a the lower border of the areola and underneath the lateral edge of the pectoralis muscles. The S.A.F.E. technique has allowed us to obtain a more even contour of the tissues that would be difficult to achieve with direct excision alone.
